Free speech alert: Pastor Terry Jones imprisoned by judge in Deerborn, Michigan to prevent him from protesting against Islam there.
As much as I think Jones is a publicity-seeking fool, his right to speak is sacrosanct. I hope he sues the judge and the city of Deerborn for everything he can get.
Freedom of speech in Michigan: Dearborn denies permit, says Terry Jones could face arrest if he protests.
O really? “We need to protect our authority.”
Leftwing civility: A University of Iowa professor tells college Republicans to “F” off.
Freedom of speech alert: A Michigan town passed a ban on all political signs in a public park in order to silence a Tea Party protest.`
This woman bluntly, clearly, and without apology explains freedom, the first amendment, and the difference between peaceful protest and violence to Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina).
Make sure you watch part 2 of her oration, where she goes through the worst quotes from the Koran (bookmarked with bacon strips!) and burns those pages.
The religion of peace: Two beheaded and eight others murdered in Afghanistan today in protest against Koran burning.
Burning the Koran might have been a poor idea, but such an act doesn’t justify murder.
Then there’s this: Penn State students assaulted for putting up a display outlining what they considered Palestinian lies.
Once again, the only answer Islam can give to criticism is violence.
Civility for thee but not for me: Bill Maher considers it perfectly acceptable for him to use four-letter words to attack conservative women like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.
The new civility: A Wisconsin Republican lawmaker has canceled public meetings due to vandalism and death threats.
How the White House bullies the press.
So who are the real hate-mongers here? David Horowitz speaks at Brooklyn College while under heavy security. To me, the key quote is this:
Mr. Horowitz began by ruefully observing, “When I went to college you didn’t need all of this security on campus, but things have changed and that’s the reason we now need checkpoints on campuses. Checkpoints are essential to defend against terrorists and Jew haters.” Adding that he has been verbally and physically assaulted on campuses around the country for his forthright views, he said, “Our campuses are controlled by liberal fascists and it is a movement to suppress the free speech rights of conservatives.”
