If the MSM didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.

NYT......the fourth estate equivalent of “she was just asking for it”. The hypocrisy of liberals is just truly astounding.

It’s too late for the Muslims to complain. We all know what Mohammed looked like now!

I don't want anyone here at FR to miss the fact that Bill O'Reilly, the idiot in the photo below, totally accepts the New York Times view of this event. Fortunately for Fox, they at least have Megyn Kelly defending the 1st Amendment to OUR Constitution.

Personally, I have given up watching even bits and pieces of O'Reilly because of this incident. No big deal since those bits and pieces had already declined to just crumbs. But now the crumbs are gone.

Someone said that the best drawings at the contest in Garland, TX were the two chalk drawings in the parking lot.

It only makes sense when one realizes the Left and islam share a short term goal, the destruction of these United States.

The Associated Press actually tweeted out a link to a story on the aftermath of the event that read, “Pamela Geller says she has no regrets about Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest that ended in 2 deaths.”

LOL! The contest ended in 2 deaths!

The worst whitewashing job since The Adventure of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

You're right, marginally conservative O'Reilly was a usual watch for me too.

But after the idiotic and asinine comments about Garland and Free Speech, no more!

The Times editorial board actually wrote, “the Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest in Garland, Tex., was not really about free speech. It was an exercise in bigotry and hatred posing as a blow for freedom.”

This from a paper that exercises bigotry and hatred towards Christianity and Conservatism posing as a blow for freedom on a daily basis.

It is amusing to me that these leftist religion haters (Christian religion, that is) can be so farsighted in their goal to ‘attain’ power, but be so shortsighted into the realities of what WILL happen if they do get that power.

The largely white, progressive left thinks they can get more and complete power if they pander to minorities, illegals and Muslims - and they likely will succeed in this.

Yet, they have in the back of their minds these groups will just go away - assimilate, disappear, melt or acquiesce and they can have power and continue to rule. When things get bad and they have consolidated control they'll just stop the gibsmedats and pandering and nothing will go wrong because THEY are in charge. Obama is in charge - that's working out just ducky, ain't it?

This ALWAYS fails. You see it in a dozen or more South American countries, you have seen it in the USSR, Europe and a number of places in the past. It always fails.

When established law becomes obsolete and the whimsy of rule becomes operative (see Zimbabwe), it always is impossible to please all of the people all of the time.

Resources to meet needs require work, work needs people, and the people you have on your side don't want to work. Otherwise you end up with a Dystopian future with masses fighting over rapidly dwindling resources that can't be replenished.

Oppositely, rule-of-law (and its strict adherence), freedom from the whims of mob rule and a foundation of ethics and morals works. It's that simple.

Part of the big lie, the distraction, is the constant claim that terrorists are “upset,” “offended,” etc. That Pamela Geller should have known that the event would “inflame” somebody, that it was “pouring gasoline on the fire” (the Pope’s newspaper used that line), and that some “nutjobs” would come “unglued” and commit violence.

All these expressions are attempts to blame EMOTION for the attacks.

The attacks were carried out because of PRINCIPLE—the teaching of Islam.

I do watch certain segments of his show and if necessary I mute him. I do watch his series “Legends & Lies: The Real West” which he has on Saturday evening before Judge Jeanine. It’s quite interesting.

The New York Times is a hate group. They exist to promote leftist ideas and to spew, promote, and spread hatred of all things conservative, especially if it is also christian. In the category of “the enemy of your enemy is your friend,” they love muslims right now. Make no mistake, they do not really love them. They just find them useful because muslims often target christians.

The Garland event wasn’t christians vs. muslims. I am only addressing that because the NYTimes thinks insulting Christ is fine but insulting Muhammad is over the top.

to the old gray whore, brothel tender for the presstitutes.....

the goal was not to strike a blow for free speech, the goal was to ridicule those that get their panties in a wad.

The arousal over free speech is collateral achievement

The great measure of success was two dead wackos

Similarly, the Assyrian and Akkadian empires were “asking for it” by creating sculptures offensive to Islam, thousands of years ago. I’m surprised that the Times didn’t scold the museum in Mosul for putting on display artifacts from the birthplace of civilization, which naturally infuriated ISIS into sledgehammering them into tiny fragments in February.
