Things are still “fresh” or at least the info has not been released in full. But the saddest part so far has been the apologists of the attack because, you know, them drawings were so mean:
Now, if an excuse could be made for violence because cartoons are deemed by a group as to be so insulting they demanded the killing of those who draw them and support them, Does that mean that the Gun Community can go on hunting? We have been insulted over and over by cartoonists in the last 30 or more years, right?
Remember, we have been accused of every kind of madness and insulted in ways that would send chartered planes full of Jihadists to NYC to try to park them inside skyscrapers and in all that time not one single pro-gun control cartoonist, commentator, editorialist, journalist, etc has been killed because of their work against the Second Amendment.
But usually, the people who dislike one right, tend to have little consideration for the others, even when they are protecting what feeds them.
Oh well, I need more coffee.
Also, how DARE those evil white racist cops shoot those innocent protesters who just wanted to speak truth to power!
What, exactly, is the purpose of her “focusing on Islamic extremism”? Seems as if she hasn’t learned much other than “don’t make them mad.”
She earns her living covering FOR Islamic extremism, if you get my meaning.
Yep, I do.
I’m gonna double down on your comment. Whenever I saw a left-wing “anti-war” rally, especially during the GW Bush years, there were always a myriad of signs that said (in effect) America is going to war to protect Israel or the Zionists are sending US Solders to die in Iraq. There were viciously anti-Semitic signs about “Zionist Pigs” or “Israel is an apartheid state” or showing Israeli flags with swastikas instated of Stars of David. You scratch a leftist and Antisemitism pours out of them thinly veiled as support for the “poor oppressed Palestinians.”
Of course when you ask some white, middle class, Volvo driving soccer mom with the Obama/Biden bumper sticker, why she is screaming “Death to Israel, down with the Zionist state!” and waving a Palestinian flag. The response always comes back “freedom of speech.”
Despite the number of times I’ve seen my people portrayed as hook-nosed, blood drinking, money-grubbing, monsters, and as often as I’ve seen the Holocaust dismissed as a hoax (by the same people who believe that global warming is gospel) to gain sympathy for Israel; I’ve never seen any Jews shoot up a liberal “peace” rally.

Why does anyone need to place a crucifix in a bucket of piss?
I recall how many people were killed over that – the number is zero.
It was held up as a touchstone of the right to free speech.
Funny that if people might actually get killed as a result of their speech, the progressive line is to shut up and sit down.
Nice.
Adding insult to injury, Piss Christ was paid for in part by a grant (subsidy) from the National Endowment for the Arts. The American tax payer paid for Piss Christ.
That’s the thing that gets lost in the shuffle about “Piss Christ” and et cetera. The issue wasn’t “Is this offensive?” The issue was “If the taxpayers gave you money, do they have the right to tell you how to spend it or to take it away if they don’t like what you do with it?” The Left wasn’t peeved that Jesse Helms didn’t like Robert Mapplethorpe; they were peeved that someone in government might shut off the NEA money tap.
“Free speech aside” – this from someone who gets paid because “free speech”.
What ever happened to ““I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”? The only reason terrorists would not support free speech is because they want to change this country into a part of some Caliphate. Sorry, Abdul, but your saying it does not make Islam the religion everybody ought to convert to because you say so. My High(er) Power was conceived by JMB (PBUH) and you are just going to have to live with that unless you are in a hurry to claim your 72 virgins – http://tinyurl.com/nhsune7 (guaranteed SFW).
stay safe.
I wound if Rukmini has thought about the fact that the people she is supporting would have only allowed her a third grade education, she would not be allowed on TV and in her present state would be ether beaten for violating religious laws or even bearied up to her neck and her head smashed in w five pound rocks
@Greg are you talking about Palistinians or Orthodox Jews? You know they both can and do treat women unfairly. You don’t even have to go to Israel to see it, just come to Brooklyn.

They came from Phoenix, I guess they missed the sign at the state line that says “Don’t Mess with Texas”.
