Megan Kelly Video: If we blame Pamela Geller, the terrorists are winning
No PG used this as an opportunity to prove what Muslim Islamic Trash is all about. Killing and violence. She played them perfectly and they didn't disappoint.

Well, Chris Matthews did on his show last night. I was able to stomach about 10 minutes of it
He blamed her for the violence itself?
I don't think so. I don't remember verbatim what was said. Just basically said that she's responsible since she knew her even is offensive to muslims and that she was trying to get this kind of reaction. Kind of like the gun control folks blaming the gun manufacturers when someone goes on a shooting spree.

Well, she did do this in the hopes of getting a response, possibly a violent one, so he's not wrong. But the only people to blame for their being a violent confrontation are those who traveled there to start one. As much as I hate the KKK and what they stand for, a person throwing a rock during a KKK rally is wholly to blame for that rock being thrown.

Yep, I think she's an idiot as well, but she has every right to be an idiot.
And we as a society have every right to marginalize her viewpoint, while still defending her right to express it.
Well said.
Doesn't that standard apply to this room as well? So the last few months with the bans, etc. shouldn't have happened if we just agreed to disagree? SMH

I'm a bit new to this room, were bans made out of pure disagreement or was there something more to it?
