Respectable opinion can’t bear the idea that she has become a symbol of free speech, which once upon a time was — and still is, when convenient — one of the highest values of the media and the left.
If Geller were a groundbreaking pornographer like the loathsome Larry Flynt, someone would already be planning a celebratory biopic of her life. If she were a gadfly sticking it to a major Western religion rather than to Islam, she might be considered more socially acceptable.
Instead, her provocations are deemed almost as shameful as the intentions of the men who wanted to kill her and her cohorts.
To say the reaction to Garland has been confused is charitable. On “Hardball,” NBC terrorism analyst Evan Kohlmann descended into a morass of contradictory clichés when discussing Garland.

Why won’t Muslims stop slaughtering people in the name of their God?
So the mainstream media has the same enemies as the jihadists. Is anyone really surprised?
Why won’t Rich Lowery shut up?
She will not *shut up* because she is exercising her freedom to speak. Period. My military husband fought for that freedom because it is the freedom that comes, not from the state, but from God.
provoke a response from the Muslim community, —
One of the dead guys said if(when) we get shot we go to heaven.
So I say he was admitting provoking his own death.

Why don’t you read the article?
Lowry’s opinion in a nutshell: Be nice to the Religion of Terror (the ROT) savages and they will not harm us. I’m so afraid of the ROTters that I’m willing to give up a significant portion of my liberty to be safe.
Didn't read the article did we?
CORRECTION — I was speaking of Geller’s detractors ... not Lowry! (and no, I haven’t been drinking at this early hour although my post makes it appear so ... YIKES!!)

He’s right in this article.
there. fixed it.
Rich actually asks a good and valid queation. The reason Pamela Geller won’t shut up is because others won’t speak up.
That is fn awesome.
... AND a double post ... Where’s my fainting couch? ...
Like any gutless bully, the MSM continually provokes Christians and the Right, because they know we won't react violently... but when the Right provokes, it's a bad bad bad thing, and must be admonished. SHAME on us!!
Very well written. “The assassin’s veto” is a great phrase.
