“Protesters swarm DOJ’s ‘condescending’ lecture on Muslim hate speech”

Once again new media provides an alternative to the relentless leftwing bias of the traditional media outlets. It's only a matter of time …. until then, we press on.  Excellent article over at BizPac Review on last night's free speech demo:


Protesters swarm DOJ’s ‘condescending’ lecture on Muslim hate speech"

First Amendment loving, free speech
supporting patriots turned out en masse in small town Manchester, Tenn.
Tuesday night to protest the upcoming DOJ stance that Muslim bashing on
social media may lead to federal civil rights charges.

Conservative activist Pamela Geller was among the 600-800 protesters
who filled the conference room, according to Bill Hobbs who live tweeted
from the event.

The American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee sponsored the
event, called “Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society,” which featured
the top two U.S. Department of Justice officials in the state, the U.S.
Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Bill Killian, and the
special agent in charge of the state’s FBI office, Kenneth Moore.

TN protests

The DOJ officials discussed the fact that not all American Muslims
are terrorists and those who trash Muslims on social media may be
violating civil rights. You can read more here from BizPac Review’s, “DOJ warns Muslim bashing on social media may be federal offense.”

Geller took to her blog “Atlas Shrugs” to counter the typical liberal media spin on what took place at the event.

According to Geller, who helped organize the protest that had hundreds more people outside the building:

U.S. Attorney Bill Killian gave a power point
presentation on hate crimes and hate speech. From beginning to end it
was full of condescension, smears, charges that the crowd was racist,
and thinly-veiled threats that truthful speech about Islam could be
prosecuted. Never once did he address the fact that people aren’t
concerned about Muslims because of racism and xenophobia, but because of
the reality of jihad terror and the uniform denial and obfuscation, and
victimhood posturing, that follows from Muslim communities after every
jihad attack. Killian even stooped so low as to claim a sharp rise in
“religiously-motivated hate crimes,” without ever informing the crowd
that he was lumping in anti-Semitic hate crimes (which are at worldwide
record levels, largely due to Islamic antisemitism) with anti-Muslim
hate crimes. FBI special agent Kenneth Moore was little better. Both
echoed the Islamic supremacist speaker’s opening remarks, all about how
the people of Tennessee had to learn to be welcoming of people who were
different.

The crowd was having none of it, shouting “Boston!” “Free Speech!”
and other responses after they would say something entirely ridiculous. A
couple of people in the crowd got up and called out to the patriots to
be quiet and let the speakers speak, and to be respectful, but the crowd
was being just as respectful to Killian, Moore and Co. as the speakers
were to them. It was good to see their condescending anti-freedom
propaganda challenged. The speakers were only accepting questions
written on cards, and people knew it was a horse and pony show. We are
not going to go quietly into the night, or remain silent when we are
lied to. This is just the beginning. We will not go away, we will not be
silenced, and we will never stop fighting.

The Blaze covered this event and failed to mention AFDI. Is that nuts, or what? All they did was talk about a few local hecklers.

If the DOJ is prepared to criminalize “Muslim-bashing” in social networking sites, they better go after all the people who are “Christian-bashing” “Pro-life” bashing, “Gun-rights supporters” bashing, “conservative politics” bashing…ad nauseum.
I see the bitter, hate-spewing leftists threatening (or wishing) murder upon those with whom they vehemently disagree.
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Oh. Wait…in THIS Amerika only SOME citizens have the right to complain about being offended. What was it the great Oracle said…”some pigs are more equal than others…”

This criminal government is ruling by intemidation. Their threat against people criticizing Islam is contrary to the first Amendment. They are the lawbreakers and they should be prosecuted and locked up.

these events are helping to build up “anti-bodies” in the society so that when the real threat comes in hard & heavy the people will be ready. & Europe will follow.
