Goliath’s Crocodile Tears

16

Has anyone ever seen or heard Alex Seitz-Wald of Salon rail against, pummel, and smear the devout jihadists who slaughter in the name of Islam? Has anyone ever heard him apply even the most remote standard of humanity to those committing holy war in the cause of Islam? Ever heard him denounce the sharia that brutally subjugates women and non-Muslims? Me neither.

David-goliath

And yet from his airless chamber, he fashions himself morally superior. Do these self-important clowns ever catch a cold hard glimpse of themselves in a mirror? We ought to stage an intervention for these hapless, ego-mad scribblers.

Story continues below advertisement

Today, Alex Seitz-Wald takes issue with Robert Spencer and me for defending ourselves against the onslaught of libel, misrepresentation of our ideas, smears and lies. It is wickedly funny. This spineless, gutless wonder whines about how mean we are.

It's hard to imagine that I have scared my critics into silence — you mean there would be more daily attacks on my character, cred and body of work? But there are only 24 hours in the day.

Seitz-Wald claims that we "want the First Amendment to work
only in their favor." Uh, wrong. I only want the First Amendment to work. Period. I want to be able to run my ads without having to file six-figure First Amendment lawsuits. I want to speak and not get canceled. I want a scintilla of truth to be reported about the work I do. Just for starters, we are anti-jihad, not anti-Muslim. No matter how many tens of thousands of posts, columns and books I write to the contrary or how many Muslim girls we help get to safe houses — these tools propagandize and carry water for the most notorious Islamic supremacists. Seitz-Wald shills for the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth and he is pulling moral superiority. What he lacks in spine and guts he compensates for in cojones.

Calling on the media to be accurate is an insult to their craft. And when I defend myself and pointedly expose their agenda, that whole ship of fools starts bawlin'. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Catholic diocese boots anti-Muslim speaker Alex Seitz-Wald, salon

A diocese in Massachusetts disinvites Robert Spencer

The response from Spencer and Geller was predictable: Blame the
media.
Writing at FrontPage, Spencer claimed that he was “informed” that
the Boston Globe’s reporter, Lisa Wangsness, “instigated the entire controversy
and that she “asked [Muslim groups] to call the diocese and demand the
cancellation.” Spencer published his entire, lengthy email exchange with
Wangsness, including her phone number and email address, along with a
correspondence with Wangsness’ editor. They declined to comment in an
email to Salon.

Geller picked up the same line of attack, writing, today, “I am surprised that Lisa Wangsness didn’t shout allahu akbar at her attack and victory over the free exchange of ideas.”

This
is typical for a group of people who want the First Amendment to work
only in their favor. They cry foul any time anyone writes something
critical of their work, condemning the supposed infringement on their
freedom of speech, yet they turn around and try to bully critical voices
in far more aggressive ways than any action directed at them.

Any
journalists or public advocates who cross them are bound to have their
emails published and a string of ad hominem attacks thrown their way in a
manner than can only be intended to intimidate. This effectively
silences many critics, who may feel it’s not worth incurring the hate to
write about Geller or Spencer.
Of this reporter, for instance, Geller
once said it was “only a matter of time before he is getting measured for a suicide vest.” She called a Jewish group in Chicago that spoke out against her anti-Muslim bus and subway ads “Judenrat,” as in Jews who collaborated with Nazis.

That’s
fine and they have the right to call anyone whatever they want, just as
the diocese is free to rescind its invitation to Spencer and the Muslim
groups are free to criticize it and the Globe is free to write about
it, but you can’t have it both ways. It seems Spencer and Geller are not
interested in “the free exchange of ideas,” as Geller said, but rather
licence to express themselves with impunity and without criticism.

UPDATE: Spencer has a takedown of Seitz-Wald: Salon whines about Spencer and Geller fighting back against smears and defamation

just as the diocese is free to rescind its invitation to Spencer and the Muslim groups are free to criticize it and the Globe is free to write about it, but you can’t have it both ways. It seems Spencer and Geller are not interested in “the free exchange of ideas,” as Geller said,
Gee Alex, I don’t think anyone is denying their right to disinvite Robert Spencer. The wisdom and appropriateness of rescinding their invitation is a different matter.
But how do you figure Spencer and Geller are not interested in the free exchange of ideas? Spencer would very much like to engage in public discourse- I suspect after his presentation there would have been time for a Q&A (question and answer) session. It is people like you, and now the diocese, who do not wish to allow such an exchange to occur. Who now, is avoiding the free exchange of ideas?
Moreover, Robert Spencer has challenged numerous defenders of Islam to a public debate. His challenges have not been accepted. That doesn’t sound to me like a man who is avoiding the free exchange of ideas.

Who doesn’t want a free exchange of ideas? Oh, that’s right, the Islamists, the United Nations, and Obama with their anti-blasphemy pronouncements. Their goal is to suppress free speech. Their idea is to destroy in criticism, or even objective observations, about Islam, sharia, and jihad.

It should astound us what sort of “American” slime supports the islamo-facist murderers, but then, look what we have in our White House at the moment.

Islam is not a religion , it is an organized group of mysogynists, with only primitive caveman style rules, and that is not meant to slander the primitive men, of history.
Islamists do not have any intention of reasoning with anyone, only to dictate as the supreme men.
The slimeballs need to be treated like the scum they are and prosecuted for threatening every person on Earth with their islam garbage.
islam must be voted out of existence on North American soil.
Obama is the son of a foreign agitater, with anti-American thoughts and actions, taqiyya is obama’s way.
obama can be removed by following the Constitution, Article 1, section 8, paragraph 10. the Law of Nations is recognized, and the meaning of natural born citizen is found there.

“I only want the First Amendment to work. Period.”
Except when it comes to Al-Jazeera broadcasting in the US.
Your cognitive dissonance and lack of self-awareness never fail to amaze, Pamela.

you have the right to be shot and peed on for treason too.
Al jazera Gore has the right to treason, but we have the right to try him.
We the people will not be fooled by gore the way hillary was by bill,
.
Hillary seems to think The Benghazi 4, is just another right wing conspiracy, like her denial of bill living with Jenifer Flowers and so on.
islam is the fire not just in a crowded room but in a small planet that is being consumed by the fire called islam, the fire needs to be exterminated, and I also have the right to tell you to go to alla( another word for hell)

Islam is an elaborate hoax. That stuff never happened; and even if any of it did, it was not all that bad. Sound familiar?

Enemy propaganda is a tool of warfare. Subversives like ‘Hot Karl Rove’ would like to sell al Jizz prop as free speech.
There is a difference.
Seitz-Wald of Salon is a mental midget, a nasty little ankle biter and a useful idiot in the service of our enemies. Annoying like a blowfly in summer, but that’s as far as it goes.

I don’t doubt that Alex has a crush on Pam, similar to the crush that Lisa woman has on Spencer…He showers Pam with attention, hoping to get Pam’s attention…He, like Lisa toward Robert, is begging Pam, ‘Please look at me, please look at me’…That’s pathetic for a man Alex…

Muslims just want jihad to work, and to put people like Geller and Spencer out of work. Who cares what clueless American leftists that they’ve influenced think?
It’s more important to train your brain with the facts to fight Islam on its own level as a global political conspiracy. Start 2013 right by going back to school with the Historyscoper’s free Muslimscope:

@HotKarl-
As someone who values the open marketplace of ideas, I too feel uneasy about using the strong arm of the law to bar Al Jazeera from buying Al Gore’s network. Certainly in an ideal world, any foreign company would have the right to buy an American firm.
However, the First Amendment perhaps properly applies first to Americans- I don’t know that we should be obliged to allow foreigners who have made their animosity to the USA clear to set up shop here. Now it would be an exciting world if, say, people of Pamela’s persuasion were free to argue their position (or their religion) in the Muslim nations- I won’t hold my breath for that.
You will, of course, support my right to open a church in Riyadh?
One other thought, that I suspect you might find a novel idea. Al Jazeera is built on stolen money. Should Americans allow the fruits of theft to buy in the the public square in the USA?

@Larry S.
Not that the domestically owned news networks are much better, but why should a foreign owned “news network” be allowed to broadcast on US public airwaves? I can make a good argument that by and large Al Jizzera isn’t really what they claim to be at all, but rather an islamonazi propaganda outlet — especially WRT coverage of Israel.
