Hyatt Hotel caves to Islamic pressure, cancels Free Speech (controversial, suspect, Obama)

[subsound]

Pamela Geller (a.k.a. "Atlas Juggs") is the epically insane writer who blogs at Atlas Shrugs (named after Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged). She is well-known for her ridiculous vlogs, her hatred of Muslims and her tendency to show off her... "assets" by appearing in tight tops and bikinis.

Yeah, she is a great source of information.

From the OP link:

"..enforce the blasphemy law under the sharia."

Tell me who has any legal authority to enforce this so called "law" ?

From another article..the hotel officially said it was canceled due to changing security needs.

Sugar Land hotel in Texas cancels Tea Party event over anti-Islam activist Pamela Geller | Mail Online
"Part of her speech at the event was intended to promote her new book, titled Stop The Islamization of America: A Practical Guide To The Resistance"

As good a source as "rationaliwiki.org?"

Pam Geller? As in Pam Geller the crackpot? Why should the Hyatt associate its name with nutcases like her?

Progressives don't know the difference seeing as they deal in extortion as the means by which to justify the end.

Again, if this proves true, which it probably will. A nation wide boycott of Hyatt would be nice. Certainly, locals should be calling their local stations and making sure this story is told. True, Hyatt can do what they want but if their business suffers as a result, they may not "want."

Free speech and extortion. You really had to ask?

Probably won't happen.

Extortion has a way of scaring any corporation away from controversy.

The *next* venue this group approaches for a speech will think twice.

Think "chilling effect on free speech."

I hear ya. That is why this story needs to be told. Nip it in the bud before it is way too late.
