#1 The more realistic explanation for the three-day event, Lafferty said, is that administration officials, progressives and OIC officials are tacitly cooperating to gradually stigmatize speech that is critical of Islam.
Lafferty pointed to a July statement by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in which she said that free speech will be protected, but the U.S. government will use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people dont feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.

that's our Hillary

#2 I would just love to see Hannah Rosenthal and Hillary Clinton, forcibly married to some intolerant, rural Wahhabi, who would treat them like farm animals.

#4 I suppose she took the job as his secretary of state because she's so much more different and better and shit.

#8 I'm no fan of Hillary but in this case it is wrong to focus criticism on her personally, IMHO.

Some form of "Rushdie Rules" for non-Muslims in the West has been a consensus policy of the Western political class for some time. Big institutions in the US (Yale, Comedy Central, CNN, ABC, MSM press, Hollywood etc) are de facto in compliance.

Even a Ron Paul administration would pursue the same policy.

#9 One gets the impression that Islam is incompatible with Western Civilization.

#10 Islam has so many inherent contradictions, even it's incompatible with Islam. Let the death cult die the natural death it so richly deserves.

#11 Problem is, Old Patriot, natural death of Islam is taking too long and all the trashing about is hurting others. Put it out of its misery.
