Watch: FNC’s MacCallum, Pamela Geller Battle over Free Speech
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?

No idea who Bill Donahue is, but when did Trump become a conservative?

In today's political environment anyone not as bat-crap crazy to the left as people like Obama, Lizzy Warren, Nanny Pelosi, Debbie Washerwoman-Schlitz or Chris Matthews is automatically labeled a right-wing conservative.

Don’t taunt Muslims with drawings but Christian business owners deserve to be targeted for ruin.

If a cartoon competition justifies a violent attack, then so does abortion, which is not only grossly offensive to any person who values, but is an actual crime against humanity. So can bombing of abortion clinics be justified, using the “justification by insult” argument, since abortion was deemed to be as constitutional as free speech?

Of course, no-one is saying that we should go do it, but liberals need to be careful where their arguments lead.

SHAMEFUL ATTACKS BY THE DHIMMIT MEDIA TO PAMELA GELLER AND GERT WILDERS

The American “Dhimmitude” media, cowed by Islamic violence, has accepted total submission to the mandates of the Islamic terrorists.

Pamela Geller, Gert Wilders, and Bosch Fawstin (the winner of the contest) are real heroes that have not accepted to be intimidated by Islamic terrorists.

On January 17,2015 and in the same public school center, there was a “Stand with the Prophet” rally by Muslims, a provocative pro-Shariah law event, by supporters of Al-Qaida and Isis organized by one of the terrorists implicated in the bombing of the garage of the NY World Trade Center in 1993.

I wonder if those who try to blame the organizers of the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest,” for the Muslim terrorist attack would have justified if a patriotic American had irrupted in the Muslim rally on January and made a massacre of Islamic terrorists. After all, Americans are profoundly offended by their provocation and the abuse of our freedoms by those who made the Muslim rally in support of the savages that decapitate, crucify and burned Christians alive.

The “Dhimmitude” media, scared by Islamic violence, auto-censors itself and tries to justify the terrorist attack in Texas because the Mohamed cartoons contest offended the sensibility of Islamic terrorists.

On January 2015, radical Islamists desecrated the holy soil of Texas. Do not mess with Texas!!!

Megyn is 100% correct that Gellar’s event was 100% protected by the first Amendment.

Those who are offended by Pamela Geller exercising her free speech have a lot in common with the Islamic terrorists who were also offended.

The most idiotic line was from McCallum.

McCallum held the company line: ‘you are offending Islam!’

McCallum kept trying to bring up moral equivalents. Geller shoved them back in her face.

Geller brought up that Islam commands Christians to convert or die.

That didn’t register with McCallum — ‘well, they die as martyrs.’

I can understand Bill Donohue’s point, he is very consistent when it comes to criticizing those who bash religions, whether it’s his own (Catholicism) or anyone else’s. He was equally vociferous over the P*ss Christ debacle. Trump, on the other hand, maybe he’s being pragmatic? Is he planning on building a skyscraper in Abu Dhabi?

Shouldn’t MacCallum cover her hair so she doesn’t provoke those savages?

That was pretty funny. She had just made it, and clearly and succinctly.

It would have been funny if she said, “Here’s how:”, and then repeated it verbatim.

Martha used the old “They” say line. If that was ever said to me I’d say “Who is they? I want some names.”

It makes liberals’ heads explode when I say, as a person that has not had television since 1997, that when I am exposed to Fox news, it is clear to me that they a liberal network. Just not as liberal as NPR or CNN.

Amazing on how quickly the MSM has forgotten all about Charlie

Charlie Hebdo stands solidly for free expression. The West must do no less.

And by the 2nd, just in case someone challenged her for using the 1st.;-)

We wont be seeing anymore of Ms. Geller as she has now sliced and diced two anchorettes. Same thing happened with Cruz.
