The WaPo’s Kathleen Parker recently penned this attack piece against Pamela Geller. One wonders if anyone at the paper comprehends the self-mocking nature of the headline: “Pamela Geller’s abuse of free speech”

Update: Mark Steyn shares his thoughts h/t ‘BJG’
It won’t help. Kathleen Parker can grovel all she wants, but ISIS will still be coming for her.
Steyn carves these A holes up real well. The limited use of one liners in the piece tells me he’s quite pi$$ed about it.

I wonder if its ever sunk into the heads of the Washington Compost that ISIS opposes Freedom of the Press especialy when it comes to Muhamed cartoons and art
I to am waiting for the MSM to go the way of their patron saints the dodo birds. I will cheer when the Herald and their ilk finally have to tell urnalists like Mr. Braid there is no more room upstairs in the publishing outhouse, but he could rent the basement if he wants to write his columns. And this Parker she is one point dumber than most urnalists. Our media is as much an enemy of our freedoms as any bearded lunatics are.
“It’s an American point, actually”
Yes! and the WAPO article is anti-American…time they took a deep breath,.. The consequences of “abuse” by an non-American opinion maybe unhealthy for the cockroaches.
Dhimmitude comes easily to 99.99999% of the MSM.
How dare Pamela Geller flaunt her Freedom of Speech like that! Any woman that tarts around in her First Amendment Protections is just asking for it. You know she really wanted it. Some women are just that way. Those poor deluded ISIS murderers just could not resist.
Her showing of those Mohammed Cartoons forced them to react. Any decent person would according to Kathleen Parker. I am surprised Kathleen didn’t go down there and kill Ms. Geller herself?
Martin Luther King Jr., should never have tried to march across that bridge in Selma Alabama. He should have known that those Democrats would react like that. He was just too provocative with his “Right to Vote” for black people. He was being uppity and just taunting all those fine upstanding white democrat Alabamans.
As an operating principle, mightn’t MLK try less incendiary means of problem-solving? I don’t know, maybe something less likely to lead to violence?
But Martin Luther King is a media creature and knows how to bait a media field as well. Make noise and the media will come. Draw a crowd and the cameras will roll. Become the “victim” of fire hoses, night sticks, and attack dogs and, voilà, you’re on TV. (The MGM lion better watch his back.)
MLK got exactly what he wanted. You’re nobody in this town until you’ve been beaten by Klansmen. Pray that no harm comes to him, I hasten to say.
Free speech advocates on the left (meaning, the phony ones) are worth defending, the actual *real* ones…yeah…let ’em twist in the wind. What’s even worse is that those apologists can’t even comprehend where their view leads eventually.
” I take a back seat to no one when it comes to defending free speech ”
Yeah Ms.Parker, you aren’t in the back seat, or up on the trunk. You aren’t even in the stands watching the cars go by.
You are under the stands getting raped by the diverse tolerance that you embrace.
And you know what, you deserve it.
You can tell us why in your next article.
Best column of the decade, at least.
I suppose it hasn’t occurred to Miss Parker that Pamela Gellar is proven right time and time again with each attack from the “religion of peace” and their apologists.
If Pamela needs anyone to come over and mix up some lasagna on a saturday afternoon or maybe help with hanging a portrait on the wall, she knows I’m available….
All these anti Geller statements have one thing in common. A complete lack of common sense. These twits just can’t seem to understand that Gellers message and motive is academic. The subject is why one should be killed for drawing a cartoon ? Why every other religion and atheism is fair game but only Islam is exempt, a religion that can never be compatible with western values and is responsible for terrorism and carnage around the world. It’s almost like Neville Chamberlain had a genetic disease that was passed on to all liberals and their offspring. Common sense ? What happened to it ?
If Pamela Gellar was black they’d call her Dr. Martin Luther King.
Bravo Pamela Geller! There are not only 2 less muslim insects infecting this world but were also able to poke a stick into the eye of the dhimmi MSM.
Is this Parker person potty trained….?
She sounds infantile.
This a corollary of “look what you made me do.”
Was she never taught that “sticks and stones break bones but….”
Does Parker also feel that Rosa Parks did not need to sit at the front of the bus?
If, say, the annual gay parade in Toronto were attacked by Islamists, would anyone conclude that the gay community knew full well they were acting in a deliberately provocative manner?
Reminds me of a recent incident here in Victoria where a HA clubhouse opened and the local mayor initially said he would instruct the police to run them out of town. The local press all ran stories that were very much anti-HA on their websites. Then… all of a sudden they were all pulled and the mayor’s comments were much more supportive of the HA clubhouse. I used to like that that mayor too.
The only thing missing from the “you can’t draw me” cartoon would be blood splatter. Perhaps also a second panel showing a crowd of nervous MSM drones whistling nervously as they walk passed a graveyard.
