Andrea Mitchell To French Ambassador: Why Are ‘Provocative’ Anti-Muslim Cartoons Permitted?
Daily Caller ^ | 01/12/15 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 01/13/2015 4:18:31 AM PST by Enlightened1

The host of MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” asked French ambassador to the United States Gérard Araud why “provocative” anti-Muslim cartoons were permissible in France, when they had taken steps to ban Holocaust denial.

“So why is it permissible to be as provocative as these anti-Muslim cartoons were?” she asked, before ominously adding, “This is a debate we’re having in the United States as well, you know.”

Only libtard moon bats consider free speech debatable.

And yet “Piss Christ” and “Elephant Dung Mary” are permitted, because Christians are fair game.

Andrea has no problem with Islam.

She'll just put on a burkah and call it a day.

No wonder FR threads are so short these days ....

We get it immediately and everyone else doesn't feel the need to bother replying.

The MSM are no longer hiding they're the enemies of civilization.

Muslims beheading/Killing Journalists - Ok.
Cartoons mocking Muslims - Kill The Journalists.

Andrea Mitchell meets all the requirements for a mandatory burka: Butt Ugly.

Not because we are fair game, but because we do not hunt the offenders down and kill them or their families.

As I paraphrase what another thread said; Christians are obligated to pray for their enemies, Muslims are obligated to hunt their enemies down.

If this came FROM a Euroweenie media type to an American president, we could understand it but this dunce is so far out of sync here that it is jaw dropping.

Did she ask this with a sack over her head, while being escorted by her husband?

She still thinks it’s the religion of peace.

This is even though on record over the last 20 years 95% of all terrorist attacks were done by Muslims.

Oh but who does the left target the Tea Party, Veterans and conservatives.

Right now Crime overall, according to the 2012 FBI Crime Stats, is at a 20 year low. Moreover, the people least likely to commit a crime is Tea Party, Veterans and Conservatives. As a group they are the lowest on the record to have committed some type of crime which is usually a misdemeanor as opposed to a felony.

Then we have politicians screaming were going to be attacked, but at the very same time REFUSE to secure the border.

This is also why all those check points by the boarder patrol on the highway is a joke. Are they not aware the border is wide open yet look where they are illegally stopping and harassing U.S. citizens. It’s all big joke!

They really think the American people are that stupid, and it’s why they continue to do what they do.

The intellectural argument needs to be taken to this silly point....there are at least fifty different Christian/Jewish/Muslim prophets. To make any such law to work to forbid things....you’d need to list out all fifty of these guys.

For the sake of this argument, I will also input this...there are the sons of Jacob who are generally not listed as Prophets by the majority of “sources” but a handful of enthusiasts will list the seven sons as Prophets...BUT not the two daughters. Do we bend this way or that?

And we are busy....ever so busy...arguing over this silly notion....cartoons on God are OK? And if ban God cartoons....why not Mary and Joseph too....but they weren’t on the status list of the Prophets?

Somewhere down the line....someone will say it’s not right to list Mighty Mouse or Micky Mouse as cartoons, and at that point....I would have used up all my dope to make myself stupid and dumb....coming out of the irrational stage.
