WAR: Afraid to Speak
Comments
Yea the liberals are willing to stand up to people when they know the worst thing that could happen to them is that get arrested (briefly) by US police. But they have no guts to protest against regimes or others who might actually inflict harm on them. How many times have they protested Iran, Russia, Cuba, etc? How often have they stood up to Islam as Islam persecutes women? Where were they when the Taliban was doing their dirty deeds in Afghanistan? Why, now where to be found! The liberals are basically cowards and hypocrites.
Exactly right - if they were going to black out the Islamic-related content, then they should have blacked out all the other religious references. It's not only gutless, it completely arbitrary line-drawing. Posted by: MVH at May 3, 2010 10:05 AM

Posted by: MVH at May 3, 2010 10:05 AMThey cross the other lines because they are protected by the society in which they live and Constitution that we adhere to. Also the other religions they mock do not condone violence. They did not cross the Islamic line because they know that Islam has no sense of freddom and hence some nut would try something and be justified by his religious leaders for doing it. For all of the good things that can be said about the Islamic religion; their condoning of violence (against both Islamic and non-Islamic people) is a major flaw.

One has to be deeply ignorant, deeply dishonest or consumed with petulant self-victimization and anti-Muslim bigotry to pretend they don't exist. I opt (primarily) for the latter explanation in Douthat's case." "The liberals are basically cowards and hypocrites." Berto, Please explain how your question relates to what I said? I don't understand. Thank you. Posted by: Lee at May 4, 2010 8:11 PMSure thing, Lee. So let me see if I understand your point. You are equating the desire by people not to hold civilian, criminal trials of non-citizens near the site of the 9/11 attacks by the people who had a part in these attacks with the "gutless" behaviour I pointed out in my comments? Is this what you are saying? You can't really be trying to make the two equavalent? Come on, you can be serious! Posted by: Lee at May 6, 2010 4:31 PMLee, Berto, I am not avoiding your question, rather I don't see it's relavance and felt it was not worth my time to react to it. It was you who tried to spin things off in a different direction and totally avoid commenting on either Crank's original post or my comment. So if you want to stay on the topics at hand and not hijack the thread, then start staying on topic or start your own blog site! Posted by: Lee at May 6, 2010 9:45 PMLee, So if you want to make statements (which are easily disputed), and you don't want people to point out your hypocrisy, start your own blog and restrict comments there. Posted by: Berto at May 7, 2010 11:49 AMTruly great article you have here. I'd like to read something more about that theme. Thanx for giving that info.
