Pamela Geller, yet another xenophobic Internet cow, sponsored a contest to draw a cartoon of Muhammed. Her precise intention, despite her shallow and disingenuous protests to the contrary, was to elicit exactly what happened. Two Muslims took the bait and started shooting. They are now deceased Muslims. Following that she screams Muslim persecution in the most viciously cynical voice possible because her Web site, "Atlas Bugs," will profit from it.
Murder is vile but making money on it is an additional dimension of evil that goes far beyond a simple killing.
The headline in CNN was NOW IT'S IN TEXAS.
Yeah, yeah. It came to Texas because Pamela Geller staged it there. Too bad that gutless bitch wasn't the one to take a bullet.
Geller's Web site is a variation of "Atlas Bugs" but Atlas wasn't even there, was he. This bait and switch terrorism is a fool's game and I don't have a damn bit of sympathy for someone who provokes the violence and is then a 'victim' of what follows.
Clarification: to make this precise. I don't endorse any of this, neither the provocation nor the killing. That the attackers did not accomplish their objective doesn't absolve them of anything. However, I see only one person standing to profit by it and the exhibitors were, in effect, pawns she was willing to sacrifice to that end.

Dont the two murders who pulled the trigger have any culpability
Or does the sponsor and gun companies
So if I am offended by your left wing ideals I am justified in shooting you
But you do continually want to shoot GOPs as morons And werent you going to shoot the kid with the loud stereo
There is so much violence in you to be casting stones
As I said, two fools took the bait. There are no good guys in this travesty. They were all wrong.
Pro tip: if I were violent, the Looney Bird would be paste by now! (laughs)
Correct like a big dog you bark a lot but would never act on it
Evidence to document that fact:
Cat knocks guitar off stand and breaks the neck. Turns to me and gives me a what's your problem look. Walks away. The Mystery Lady can testify I was speechless and did nothing.
Days ago, a cat knocked over a tripod holding a camera which originally cost over a grand. I'm pretty sure but not positive the camera still lives. I'm definitely sure the cat does.
It's not appropriate to talk publicly about detail of what happens here but the fact I am not charged with capital murder is all the evidence of pacifism I will ever need. Too bad I can't prove that!
Words are hugely purgative for violence and I recommend them highly. You can blow shit all over the world and maybe people find some reason to read it or they don't but nobody gets dead.
It's not that I have to blow out thoughts on which I would otherwise have acted but I see things and review them. Anyone can see Les Mis and visualize lopping the heads off the rich and enjoy that vicarious violence but my preference nevertheless is the super-rich behave better. Chopping off their heads would make cool TV, tho.
Dude every other blog posting you have is killing someone in your words. That fact that you dont doesnt make you non violent
And yes I would agree you are in fact a pacifist
But you words ate incredibly violent
Delayed response. Crazy runs heavy today. You don't want to know, believe me (laughs).
My posts may tend toward dramatic but I'm fairly sure where I learned that move so I'll take the cop it's genetic. Yah, that's my answer.
I don't invent any position about Geller as she is adamant she will do it again. If she is the first one to take a bullet if she provokes something then I may respect what she does but otherwise I will consider to regard her as a snake. If you slap a tiger, you damn sure ought to expect to get bitten. Why do it.
There are three hundred million people in the country and getting some crazies out of that large a population isn't a difficult thing. It's always easy to motivate stupid people to do stupid things. Whammo. Instant headline. Send me money to continue the fight.
Yes, I have a fundamental problem with this.
She's collecting money for her cause. Do you think she would be willing to submit to an external audit of where that money goes before she stages another one of these and someone else gets killed??
It doesnt matter where the money goes unless it is for an illegal activity.
I know nothing if this person and do not intend to learn about her.
Her 1st amendment rights need to be honored just as the KKK has the right to march and spread their stupid ideas. The 1st amendment does judge on the intelligence If the ideas
So if she stages another she can
The two gunmen are the ones who killed
As usual you send blame to everyone but the guilty
Should we build them a pedestal and raise them up as victims of bad publicity since ISIS in your words is a pure ideal
She, Marine LePen and others operate the same way as they know the precise boundary of 'hate speech' so they stay just short of it.
I do, in fact, blame the guilty and I'm hugely surprised that you would tolerate what she does. I've said several times there are no good guys in this guy. I don't care about the gunmen as they were stupid, predictable, and now dead. She played them for what she wanted and she got it.
I'm not defending ISIS but neither will I defend someone who causes a problem and then screams persecution as a result of it, particularly when she profits. These diseased organizations are popping up globally as this is just one of them in U.S., UKIP in England, PEGIDA on the Continent, and NAZIS for those too stupid to come up with anyone else to hate. They have precisely the same theme and I absolutely will not support what they do.
But you must support their right to do it
This is not a hate crime by her. You give her too much credit if you think she thought that this woukd happen. Just as the moron preacher that burns the Koran.
If there were green people someone would hate them
Just you cant legislate morals you cant win against stupidity
Free speech is difficult here just as it is in Germany where you get vile hateful crap just the same. The legal definition of 'hate speech' is weak and vague so it's come to mean I can be this hateful but that hateful and I'm busted.
My thinking is you give her too much credit for naivete and that point I believe is emphasized by her reaction to what happened. She insists she will do it again.
My problem with her is provoking a problem and then running away as if you have nothing to do with it.
Just as the Jewish lawyers fought to allow the Nazi party to be allowed to march in Michigan years ago The ACLU has had some pretty ugly bedfellows when it comes to free speech. It is either free or it is not Only if you can prove my purpose is to incite a riot is my speech limited If I am just spewing hate then I am a moron but not limited in what I say
I remember it as Skokie (Illinois??) but they do live free speech and that was the proof of it.
I'm not sure I'm that strong as it burns my ass to see people deliberately causing problems.
It's not an isolated thing as there's a whole lot of hateful stuff flying about globally particularly regarding Muslims. It's hugely concerning as why does it continue growing and people keep making it worse. It makes no sense to me.
Oops yep Skokie
