‘When You Provoke People…’ {Chris} Matthews, Guest Tackle ‘Causality’ of TX Shooting
mediaite.com ^ | May 4, 2015 | Josh Feldman

There’s been a lot of debate today about the actions and intentions of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, the group led by Pamela Geller that held a “Draw Mohammed” cartoon contest in Texas yesterday where two shooters showed up. They were killed, and Geller has been pushing back against any suggestion that the provocative nature of her group brought about those attacks.

Chris Matthews tackled that argument on his MSNBC show tonight, bringing up what Geller’s group did and asking, “Does that in some way cause these events––well, not the word ‘causing’––how about provoking, how about taunting, how about daring? How do you see the causality factor here?”

Chrissy doesn’t ask the same questions about the thugs in Baltimore who taunt/provoke/dare the police.

Every time any of these pro-abortion godless secular surrender monkeys mentions “provoking,” or “provocative,” or any variation, they should be called out for advocating SUBMISSION TO SHARIA LAW. They are advocating self-censorship—in compliance with Sharia Law.

I would NOT presume that Matthews would speak out against any of those assertions, if they are made by an imam.

Never underestimate how many fundamental Western values a Leftist will jettison in his eagerness to help Islam destroy Christianity.

Posted this on my Facebook page:

Remember when the media questioned the backgrounds of the victims at Newtown?
Remember when the media dug deep into the past of those murdered in Aurora?
Remember when the media feverishly worked to expose how they all might have provoked those horrors that happened to them?

Neither do I.
Yet, they sure seem hell bent on doing that to the victim in Garland, Texas:
Pamela Geller

So if Christians were killing gays for being gay in public would Matthews say its the gays fault because they were provoking Christians???

Don’t think so.

Islam means submit. I will not submit even if Matthews is happy to.

Islam the Religion of Peace keeps getting in the way of reality for these fools.

Fools is the proper term to describe anybody who makes excuses for
the Death Cult, islam.

MSNBC and their guests piss a lot of people off.

They should probably be cautious when justifying shootings like this.

I can understand why the Muslims don’t want images of the Prophet rendered .... history has it that he was two coyote ugly and had a snout to rival a jackal.
