You don't draw fire where you live.

You put that too mildly. I would have said "You don't go to the Potty in your living room floor." But some folks like living that way, and I like watching the results. Makes for interesting News Casts.

Jihadi Censorship comes to America - looks like it's working great on the Leftist Media who condemns the stick figure and not the Head Chopper.

If you insult Moses, a devout Jew will ignore you.

If you go around kicking Hornets Nests, you will get the crap stung out of you.

If you want to "Protest" being stung, go kick another nest and get stung again.


Stupidity has come to America. Looks like its working great. The nutcases are going after the other nutcases. I just hope they have more video Cameras next time.

Why don't all you frothing right wing war mongers just come out and admit it?
You want the US to start a war with 1.4 billion Muslims, starting with the 3 million here in the US. Pam Geller is your pointed stick in the eye. From the Nastiness she fostered concerning the Islamic Community Center, 8 blocks from ground Zero, to the evil posters she had located on the buses in NYC to the nasty, inflammatory signs she has hanging in the NY subway system, this latest caper by her is just another poke in the Islamic eye that she and all you "patriotic posters" here on CD will use to inflame the population against American Muslims. Come on! Be strong and truthful for once in your life. Admit it. That's all you want is open season on Muslims and Geller is your point person.
I for one truly believe that Geller and some on this very thread are rather disappointed that there wasn't a bigger killing at the "Lets take a dump on the Prophet Muhammad" festival.

Get a freaking clue people. We created Homeland security just because we knew there would be future attacks on our nation. It is common knowledge that there are currently home grown terrorists living among us just waiting to strike. So far we're averaging 5 a year, that we catch before they act. It's also common knowledge that there are well trained Americans who will be or already have returned from advanced terror tactics in the ME, that will be putting their talents to use at some future date.
And you get Geller saying "Hey! Lets have a festival of insulting and defaming the Prophet".
How utterly stupid is that? Unless it was a deliberate act looking for an expected response.

What is the most disappointing aspect of the whole situation is the fact that not one of you self proclaimed, right wing, conservative, patriotic, constitutionalist, self reliant, bohunks will even acknowledge that what she did was foolish and endangered innocent lives for no reason than to promote her agenda and the agenda of the pathetic war mongers who want to start killing American Muslims and start a war with the other 1.4 billion.

Sometimes the level of pathetic becomes almost intolerable around here.

Not long ago we had a topic where Muslims were harassed because they stopped and prayed at their requited time while they were on top of the Empire State building. I was one of the few to defend them.

When they wanted to build a mosque near the old Twin Towers I said they had as much right as anyone to buy property and do with it as they wish.

I was against Obama getting us into a war with them in Syria. I refused to vote for Romney because he wanted to escalate the wars.

That said, the portion of Muslims.that can't take a joke don't have a right to tell others what they can or can't say about their religion.

Stupid or not I'll defend her right to do it before demanding for her to stop because it offends someone.

1. What makes me a right wing conservative? And she endangered no one. The only thing she can hurt with pen and ink is feelings.

Obviously I agree with you here.

You act like if we just didn't draw cartoons, why then all the terrorists would just pack up and go pick on somebody else.

News FLASH....terrorists don't need incitement......that's kind of the definition of a terrorist.
Bingo.

Then again, in our country, we have evolved to ignoring facts and often stand firm on biases and ignorance. In those cases we go to court and spend a lot of money and waste time to have strangers decide the "red" apple is "red", after looking at it.
The 1919 case went to the U.S. Supreme Court. You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater either - if there is no fire or danger, and you just want to get a better seat.

What? You don't like "Free Speech?" or is it OK only if I agree with you? Pathetic.

Need a "Hypocrite" button too....

Says the guy who did not spend several haunted, tense minutes waiting for a cell phone call to hear that his wife and daughter got out of the area safely.
