In explaining her rationale, Geller pointed to an Iranian Holocaust cartoon contest that drew nearly 1,000 entries, saying We need to make a similar show of strength of what is right. Which extended to a drawing of Muhammad anally impaled on a pencil up through his mouth.

I listened to that too, as I was driving home from the event. I couldn’t believe some of what I was hearing. The guy that called that attended the event summed up what happened. After I finally got my car out of the parking lot I was interviewed by Fox 4 news Dallas and she was asking me why I thought the event was ok and was I scared and why on earth the free speech issue is so important.

Nah.... that was simply a job well done.
Should give the guy a medal and a raise.
As an aside, I am curious as to how many rounds went downrange.
