breitbart.com ^

Posted on 05/05/2015 11:32:21 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” one of the organizer of the Texas at a draw Mohammed event that was attacked by two ISIS linked gunmen, Pamela Geller, got into a battle with host Martha MacCallum over the controversial event.

MacCallum brought up criticisms that Geller is “taunting” Islamic extremists and said, “You have got and lot of criticism obviously. You are also getting it from some conservatives. Bill Donahue and Donald Trump speak out against what you do.”

Geller shot back, “As far as Mr. Trump goes he flaps his tongue and uses free speech to silence others. There was a war going on. What would he have said about Rosa Parks? Rosa Parks should never have gone to the front of the bus. She’s taunting people.”

MacCallum shot back, “No, no, no, no. How do you make the Rosa Parks comparison?

What is wrong with these people.

Free speech ONLY MATTERS when it IS offensive.

These filthy leftists never criticize the jihadis for their ACTIONS. They only criticize the normal people who TALK about the jihadis.

They’re saying if you want to make a difference, you do it in a Christian way, you don’t do it in a crass crude way by insulting someone’s religion.”

I'll skip past the irony of a news reporter telling a Jewish woman that she needs to argue in a Christian way to simply point out that this is example number 100,000,001 of the media telling conservatives that they have to argue politely and not be offensive with a zeal that they do not apply to anyone else.

Yes, of course, you would not want to do anything to “taunt” people who hate us and want to kill us, because they might hate us and want to kill us.

HAHAHA Pamela Geller is just making mincemeat out of these LSM info-babes. Maybe Fox can sic Greta (their smartest woman) on Pamela. maybe Greta can take her....I doubt it. Nobody seems to intimidate her! Go Pam!

No idea who Bill Donahue is, but when did Trump become a conservative? He most certainly isn't one, although I agree with him on a few issues. And I don't remember any outrage from the Left when taxpayer dollars were used to fund artwork like "P*ss Christ" and other nonsense that was obviously being done to attack Christianity for the sake of doing so. What an absolute bunch of hypocrites the Lefties (and probably moderates) are.

The left regularly taunts Christians but they never think there’s anything wrong with it

Fox is as cowardly as the rest of the “mainstream” media in not running the cartoons.

Its hard to watch someone as painfully obtuse as this MacCallum and believe the MSM are clever enough to be engaging in some sort of progressive conspiracy.

What a total dolt.

These savages NEED to be taunted and provoked!

It’s obvious that kissing their ass and appeasing them doesn’t work, otherwise we would have world peace by now after all the bowing Obama’s done.

He’s also with the Chamber of Commerce, so he’s all in for illegal aliens getting amnesty. She’s pissing off all the right people! :-)

So when the jihadis march down the street in Iran or Gaza or wherever screaming “Death to America,” they are taunting us and deserve anything we decide to launch at them. Right?

The better comparison (when arguing with a media shill) than Rosa Parks is homosexual exhibitionism a.k.a. “gay pride parades.” A jihadi will wish to kill a homosexual just as he would a blasphemer of his “prophet”. Should the gays stay in the closet lest they “taunt” jihadis?

Watched it this morning. Was amused/angry/vindicated when Geller pointed out that the media will never publish or air the “forbidden material” (cartoons, calling jihadist savages, etc.). MacCallum had absolutely no response. Crickets. Could’ve heard a pin drop.

Own it, media. Own your contribution to this problem. If you did your job, Geller, Wilders and others wouldn’t have to do what they do.

The whole world is scared of the ISLAMIC jihadists. Mission accomplished, you cancerous savages!
