Megyn Kelly: If America Supports Blaming Pamela Geller, Then “The Jihadis Are Winning”

Megyn Kelly has been pretty fired up this week about the Texas shooting outside a “Draw Muhammad” cartoon contest. She clashed with Bill O’Reilly and has stood pretty firm on the free speech issue.

And Kelly opened her show tonight by again scolding the “rush to condemn the event organizers” with “nary a mention of the radical Islamists who sought to murder them over a cartoon.”

She reiterated that free speech is protected, “no matter how abhorrent,” and you don’t have to endorse it to defend it. And with all the focus on scolding Pamela Geller‘s group, Kelly said, “if this is where American sentiment stands on this, then the jihadis are officially winning.”

Kelly even accused the media of drawing a “moral equivalence” between people who do offensive things and people who kill over those offensive things. She brought on Eugene Volokh to continue emphasizing the point, going after the media and CNN’s Chris Cuomo in particular.

I am proud of her

Laura Ingram fumbled this one last night in her zeal to defend Catholicism as relative

Kudos to Le Chin

Shame on you.

Megyn Kelly said what needed to be said and may well have put herself in danger by doing so.

Seems you just want to jump in and undercut her.

[ozzymandus]

Greta and O’Reilly can pound sand. Two dead terrorists sounds like a win to me.

[ozzymandus]

Lot of that on FR from keyboard commandos who think they can prove their conservative bona fides by trashing real conservatives.

[Ken H]

It’s her turn to be the pressure relief valve. Next week she’ll be praising gays again and someone else will play the bad guy/conservative.

Some people are just not getting it. Jihad has come to America. Pamela Geller received an on-air, face-to-face death threat from an imam tonight.

I don't think it's at all far fetched to say Megyn Kelly put herself at risk with her words tonight. Putting it bluntly, islam is targeting our women. Agreed?

[nutmeg]

Kelly did great.

Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham have been sickening on this entire subject.

Agreed. Laura Ingraham's comments were particularly surprising. And sickening...

[Ken H]

Laura Ingraham's comments were particularly surprising. And sickening...

Agree. We have Rush on the right side of this, as I knew we would. It's like red meat to him.

And screw Hannity for giving that vile man air time.

[Norm Lenhart]

I would agree Islam is targeting any non Muslim. As for risk to MK, it’s minimal at the moment Since Saudi is so heavily invested in Fox.

One of the things people either don’t get is that wonderful phrase in Islam, (paraphrased here)

“My village against other villages, my house against your house, my brother and I against my father, I against my brother.”

Eventually they will come for her as they will come for us all. But right now, they are in the same house. The house of Saud, as are all Fox employees regardless of what she says. And another thunderous aspect of islam is that once they get their hooks in something, it’s theirs. Until they get to the next part of their code, she’s safe.

PG went to the heart of their insanity so she got the current attention.

[Norm Lenhart]

What do you expect from someone that trashed Romney on air as the devil for months and then staunchly hopped in his corner as if none of that ever happened? She’s not exactly a pillar of integrity and her actions proved it before now.

[Norm Lenhart]

Edit: WONDEROUS, not thunderous

[HeartlandOfAmerica]

Jihadi’s won the instant we decided to rebuild the WTC one inch shorter than one inch taller than the one they destroyed.

[PhilDragoo]

Greta and O’Reilly can pound sand. Two dead terrorists sounds like a win to me.

Bush was wrong: It's not a religion of peace. It's not a religion at all. It's a Manson/Jonestown death cult founded by a pedophile serial killer bent on ruling the world.

POTUS is a Muslim sleeper as is his DCI Brennan as is his Homeland Security douche.

ISIS is a direct result of Hussein pulling U.S. forces from Iraq then arming and funding "moderate" Muslim warriors fighting Assad.

His whole Arab Spring was a removal of secular leaders and replacement with Islamic ones.

And Hillary's in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Megyn Kelly speaks for America.

[cynwoody]

Megyn is a twit...

The First Amendment rules!

You are the twit. And Megyn Kelly is a great American.

As is Pamela Geller, who coaxed a couple of insects out from under their rock so that they could be duly squished.

If, to keep the First Amendment, we have to roast a billion insects with nuclear weapons, then we must do it without a second thought!

[maddog55]

She hit’s it out of the park just sitting there.. but that’s just me.

[MarMema]

She is awesome on this one!!

[MarMema]

That’s a good one Phil.

Megyn is a twit...

Good for Megyn - I saw BOR and his insane position that "There is nothing more wrong than mocking one's religion and went into a rant (my poor wife is kind enough to call it my being "passionate about some things" about how maybe he should consider that killing innocents because someone hurts one's feelings might be considered just a smidgen worse than mocking someone's religion. BOR and others might as well tell us that we need to convert to the murderous "religion' so as to not offend the poor muzzies and "unnecessarily incite them" into terrorist activities.

I'm sure they would sing a different tune if Christians reacted similarly even though Christians are attacked/prodded/goaded/incited/persecuted way beyond the muzzies. By their reckoning, Christians should get the same backing if they decide to take it to the streets...
