Better tell James Cameron’s ex wife to pull her Seal Team 6 film.

Simmons would not be able to live in the world he thinks he wants to live in. Hip-hop would be banned.

I was wondering when someone would make the yelling fire argument.

Calling Muhammad a brain-damaged, mass-murdering pedophile is not the same thing as shouting “fire” in a crowded theater, Mr. Straw Man.

God is not fond of anti-Christian or anti-Judeo films ...

I doubt if he cares one way or tother about Islam or any other false religion...

....says the a-hole who's made millions of dollars from a music form and lifestyle that glorifies violence/misogyny/racism and has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people in the inner cities and elsewhere.

Better send that "notice" to all of your friends in Hollywierd.

Imagine that, not being able to make movies or TV show making fun of or telling lies about Christianity!

Where will they be able to go for material?

I may research how to do a video. If all of us did one, how could they come after all of us? The mussulman is going to riot, kill, rape and pillage no matter what we do.

>> It would be illegal to yell fire in movie theater and it could be illegal to make hate film which was obviously designed to cause alarm?

It was only a matter of time when the jackasses started spewing this juvenile analogy.

This uneducated fool has absolutely no clue about the meaning of the 1st Amendment.

If the issue is that liberals are now concerned about making a film which offends Muslims, and thus offends someone’s religion, then what about Piss Christ? The liberals praised Piss Christ as fine “art”, and, defended the right of the artist to make Piss Christ.

Ditto with the image of dung on the Virgin Mary. In those cases, liberals didn’t care that anyone’s religious sensibilities were offended. So why, in this case, are liberals being sensitive to someone’s religious views and what offends them????

Simmons, are you good with Larry David simulating his urination on a picture of Christ? Should that be illegal, or you just making exceptions for the violent kind?

Just as I'm sure He's fond of your pronouncements in His name.

I doubt if he cares one way or tother about Islam or any other false religion...

You may want to crack open your Bible and do some reading.

There is no 'yelling fire' argument ~ there is, on the other hand, a 'falsely yelling fire' argument.

Failure to raise the alarm in a theater, however crowded, when there is a real fire, would be a crime.

I think that's what this Russell Simmons is recommending ~ that everybody be quiet while the Islamofascist "fire" sweeps all before it.

Yeah, he needs to be made against the law ~

How would he feel about having making any ‘anti-any religion’ illegal?

Russell Simmons - supreme perveyor of cultural rot.

Let’s say these riots didn’t happen on 9/11. Let’s say Obama got re-elected (God forbid) and these riots happened two years from now. Does anyone honestly think that celebrities like Russell Simmons and Bette Midler would be calling for this filmmaker’s arrest?

This is all nothing more than panic that these riots will undermine Obama’s chances for being re-elected. Liberals know that they’re in the minority. They know that a majority of Americans backed Bush’s aggressive response to 9/11. They know that all they’ve got is their soapbox and their 100,0000 watt megaphone known as the MSM/Hollywood/Academia propaganda triumvirate.

They know Romney’s response sounded strong and Presidential, and it will resonate with Middle America, so they have to insist that the opposite is true. If Obama was caught murdering a puppy, Russell Simmons would say “puppies are evil and we must get rid of them”.
