During her opening monologue on “The Kelly File” Wednesday, Megyn Kelly delivered an impassioned defense of America, the First Amendment and the right to free speech — whomever it might offend.
When she finished, Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz was so impressed he broke into applause.
Kelly’s comments were in response to those who say Pamela Geller and her organization, American Freedom Defense Initiative, purposely tried to provoke radical Islamists by hosting the Muhammad cartoon-drawing contest in Garland, Texas:
“The bottom line here is that some in this country have been so busy trying to figure out how to avoid causing any religion any offense they have forgotten what is offensive to Americans: those who would trample on our core ideals.
“In America we stand for liberty and freedom to offend, to provoke, to persuade and to defy.” After Kelly finished her monologue, Dershowitz applauded and said:
“Let me applaud your statement; it was fantastic. It is the paradigm of the way Americans have to look at our freedoms and our First Amendment. Jefferson would have been proud of you.” Those who agree that the First Amendment right to free speech was not designed to protect speech we like, but to protect speech we don’t, surely applauded as well.
Orarely and Hannabag always have guest hosts “in Season”. part of their contract.
Cannot jaunt to the Hamptons on a Friday!
How Gauche!
I love that woman!
Like a leader of the Black Panthers telling his followers, in plain English (or plain ebonics), to go attack nurseries where white babies are. But I haven’t heard one hypocrite on the left call him out,
Surely some of the illustrious techies on FR could arrange to flood the Social Media with such cartoons..................all in the interest of education, of course.
srbfl
The school has areas around the campus with boldly marked signs that read, “Safe Zone”. I guess the tender flowers at the college need a place where their sensibilities won't be bruised. The poor delicate dears!
BTTT
This is where a lot of people are going mushy.
Too many people think that "exhibiting an offensive cartoon" is "inciting criminal behavior".
That's stupid. Being offensive to some or all people isn't incitement. If someone decides to commit a crime in response, that's THEIR decision, and THEIR responsibility.
I wish I was in a position to reply to these idiots, every time:
I really want to see them twist themselves into a pretzel to rationalize any kind of difference.
Thanks for the link. I voted. If you catch the results you should post them. I will as well.
Sorry, I left out shouting fire if there is none......
***Fox needs to post some of the cartoons.***
Several years ago, on FOX news, Michele Malkin held up a large poster with several of the European cartoons of mad Mo-hammed on it. The camera angles quickly changed so the poster and cartoons could not be seen.
Now why would FOX be afraid of cartoons?
here’s another point.
Years ago, I couldn’t care less about Islam.
I saw no reason to oppose them, make fun of them, or draw cartoons of their religious people.
But then things started to happen, that THEY caused. We all know it well:
The Munich Olympics massacre.
The Rome and Paris massacres.
The 1979 Iranian Revolution, and the taking of America Embassy personnel for 444 days.
The constant attacks on us and other Christian and Jews around the world; Lockerbee, Beruit, Entebbe, Khobar Towers, the USS Cole, Breslan, to name only a few.
Then it all cumulated on 9/11.
And now constant beheading and threats.
I learned all about the suppression and murder of Christians and others who were/are not Muslim, and the brutality against women and children. I studied—Hell, WE all studied—this “religion”, and no thanks, it is horrific, brutal and always angry. It is of the Devil.
Satanic.
So, in DEFIANCE, I too spit in their faces, draw Muhammad cartoons, mock them, challenge them, and want these angry, insane, murderous killed.
THAT is why this is EVEN MORE than a matter of Free Speech.
EVERYONE of us should be doing this, or we WILL be overcome by them. We must keep defying them, at each and every chance.
For God’s sake, Westerners, oppose them, die or absorbed!
and this morning the Wall Street JOurnal dude was dissing Pamela
what stupid pinheads these people are
no wonder we are seen as weak as a nation and a people
How prescient you are, my FRiend.
>> Too many people think that “exhibiting an offensive cartoon” is “inciting criminal behavior”.
Such is the mindset of the libtard.
