#21  Jack, probably threatening the government for cutting funding for the artist.

One key difference between the West and Muslims: at worst, the West cuts off funding for an artist we don't like (unless he sues). The Muslims cut off the artist's head.

#19  Only objectionable speech needs protection under the first.

There are laws relevant to libel, slander, shouting fire, and fighting words.

I claim it is my unalienable right to criticize Mohammedanism as a benighted and barbaric cult which threatens the world social order. They claim those are fighting words. SCOTUS will have to decide.

#18  This is the original article in a local newspaper.

The quotes are from an interview with Killian, according to the article.

A good question is whether Killian himself is committing an illegal act of intimidation under the color of law, depriving people in his district of their full free speech rights.

#17  A second source would be most excellent.

#16  Following the Canada playbook. Corrupt.

#15  This administration is a nightmare unfortunately, you are awake, you see the world as you knew it in your youth melting away, and you are powerless to stop it.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

#12  Over the years the Obama administration has embarked on a fervent crusade to befriend Muslims by creating a variety of outreach programs at a number of key federal agencies.

A tad un-artful description IÂ’d say.

#11  I for one, see nothing wrong with the IRS and NASA looking into this. Surgical DOS, DRONE sweepers, City monitoring balloons, roving gummit web MOD's...? Surely there is an answer.

Papers please, your papers ?

#10  Do they take the same strong position for hate postings about the Tea Party, conservatives, or gun owners? Nah, didn't think so.

#8  Social Media Posts Trashing Muslims May Violate Civil Rights

What if it's true?

And what about my right to free speech?

Now how could trashing Muslims be akin to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater? Other than causing the usual riot, of course.

#7  Some observations:

1. Killian's 'egregious' example is about as offensive as a generic gangsta rap album's title & cover.

2. The issue isn't 'terrorism', which is a method. The issue is islamofascism, a totalitarian political ideology.

3. What will Chinese, North Korean or Argentinian profilers make of the US & UK response to islamofascistic attacks. Is this response making deterrence more credible, or less?

4. The political class as a whole agrees with Killian. That includes Pat Buchanan, Barack Obama, Lindsey Graham, Hillary Clinton, even Ron Paul.

5. Finland had an objective reason to finlandize. What's the US' and UK's reason?

#6  The Theosophical Society of America includes Communism, Marxism, Maoism, Socialism and Liberalism in it's religious book section. Enough said.

#5  even though some in the faith have committed terrorist acts, Christians have done the same.

NO THEY HAVE NOT, name the last time a "Christian" Has very publicly committed a beheading" In the name of Religion".

Can't name one, then admit it's a lie.

#4  The only "religious" group at constant war against the American public clearly are the Islamists. They are the ones that should be warned by the DOJ.

This is simply the Hussein regime protecting that war against the American public on behalf of Islam.

#3  And, even though Timothy McVeigh may have been an altar boy in his youth, he did not commit his act of terrorism in the name of Christianity.
Posted by: Rambler in Virginia   2013-06-01 01:10  

#2  even though some in the faith have committed terrorist acts, Christians have done the same. As an example he offers that the worst terrorist attack in the U.S. prior to 9/11 was committed by American Christians in Oklahoma City.

That is a flat out LIE - The OK city bomber was a dedicated ATHIEST and not a Christian. The DOJ is fully aware of this and is lying.
