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.
