On Thursday night's All In with Chris Hayes, the MSNBC host continued the discussion about Pamela Geller's “Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest” in Garland, Texas, as much of America has done all week. As part of the discussion, Chris Hayes said something that might seem surprising coming from someone of his particular political bent and certainly from someone at his particular network.
Hayes offered one of the best summaries of exactly why it was so important not only that Geller be permitted to hold the event, as she was, but that the reason for the necessity of such an event be understood, as it certainly was not.
"If we were going to do a segment that was about someone that was advertising on the network, and I was kind of on the fence about it or actually didn't even like the segment, right? I thought it was a little unfair maybe. But then someone came to us and said 'you can't do that segment because of an advertiser', I'd be like, well now we have to do the segment. Because it has to be the case that we can do that segment."

I think what you’re trying to say is even a blind squirrel is right twice a day.
Chris Hayes is a broken squirrel
Chris Hayes is a blind, but intelligent liberal; he has said that he is scared to death of Ted Cruz’s intellect and this Pamela Geller comment makes me think there’s hope, even for liberals.
How is a blind squirrel ever right?
Maybe the broken clock analogy?
Hard to believe there are any ‘liberals’ left who believe in free speech... but it’s happened. Strange...
>> How is a blind squirrel ever right?
When he’s able to find his nuts with both of his little paws.
It’s just a bridge over a troubled ducks back.
the only reason Muslims are insulted is because we don't accept sharia law as the law of the land. Their ultimate goal is to make sure we do.
What I've always heard is pretty non-specific: Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
even a blind squirrel finds a broken clock now and then!
Actually, the saying is, “ A blind clock is a squirrel twice a day”.
I plead “poetic license”. :-)
Except every media outlet would do no such thing from every podunk paper to Time Warner. They would all cater to the offended. This lib is simply playing to the crowd.
There is one argument to be made. The 1A protects unpopular and even HATE speech (whatever that is) ESPECIALLY Political speech, because popular speech needs no protection by it’s nature.
Period.
Wrong. The squirrell says MOOOOOO!
Lol, hard to tell who's joking and who's confused on the blind squirrel analogy.
Ahhh.....Nuts!
Crap, do I need to rethink this entire issue now?
