MSNBC: Falwell suing Hustler same as Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre

Jan 7, 2015 6:32 pm By Robert Spencer

This appallingly risible analysis is the mainstream. If you point out that suing someone for libel is quite different from massacring someone, you’re just a racist, bigoted Islamophobe.

    Truly despicable.

    Suing Hustler is the same as executing 12 people???

      Michael, you are one thick numbskull. Muslims are an oppressed Third World people of color, and their violence, even to the point of killing people, is a necessary part of their restoring their manhood and dignity–and the use of “manhood” in the preceeding sentence, since it is for the sake of human liberation, cannot be construed as in any way sexist.. Look at the faces of the murdered people. Clearly they are, by their very whiteness, implicated in the oppression of the Maghreb by French colonialism and the displacement of the poor, suffering Palestinian people. Jerry Falwell, on the other hand, was a bumptious WHITE Baptist preacher, whom all right-thinking people are morally obligated to calumnate. [sarc off]

        That is some high grade satire right there. I would have given it 5 stars, but it wasn’t quite weasly enough. Otherwise, excellent — it sounded just like an Associate Professor of Critical Studies. Bravo.

    The utter lack of any attempt at logical thought here, is truly frightening.

    How many people will actually think this specious example has some sort of legitimacy ? Dear God.

    moral equivalence, beautiful. It’s no wonder this crapbox of a news outlet is down to 5 viewers…

    Swallowing the, “this has nothing to do with Islam” pill is requiring more mental gymnastics these days, and is becoming more ludicrous than I could have imagined.

      I don’t know, a lot of westerners still manage to believe that it has nothing to do with Islam without too much trouble. Have you heard one western leader come out and say that yesterday and today’s murder of a Paris policewoman by a muslim male have anything to do with Islamic terrorism? I know they have said it was terrorism but not Islamic.

    Wow, is that the best comparison they could make? Reaching back decades to try and scrape up a newsworthy story demonstrating Christian antipathy to slander as a comparison to today’s massacre? And this is the best they could do? That means they really don’t have anything left in their pockets; they are dredging every irrelevant piece of “evidence” and coming up with zip. So they have to juxtapose this Falwell item to the latest example of Islamic terror. Pitiful. And laughable, if it was not so tragic.

    MSNBC: Falwell suing Hustler same as Charlie Hebdo jihad massacre
    …………………………..

    Ludicrous. Grotesque.

    For one thing, Falwell *did not* win, and probably knew ahead of time that he would not. He was trying to make a point.

    But even if he *had* won, everybody from Hustler would have walked away perfectly healthy. Would that this was true of the victims of the Jihad massacre at Charlie Hebdo.

    And Jerry Falwell was a real person—he could argue that the outrageous Hustler parody did hurt him—although someone would have to be a real fool to have taken this piece seriously.

    All in all, the whole affair was pretty much a tempest in a teapot, and had no dampening effect on freedom of speech at all—unlike the threats to freedom of speech from homicidal Muslims, where countless media outlets are overtly urging self-censorship, and many more are probably quietly doing the same.

    Including, of course, MSNBC, which is cravenly refusing to run the Charlie Hebdo Muhammed cartoons.

    I never watch MSNBC because it has cooties…Two of them were on the video.
    But they are not alone..The MSM and the PC elite also have them. Even FOX has a few. Whenever I hear a ‘host’, or guest, use the words extremists, radical, or moderate concerning Islam, I turn it off because they are talking cooties,
    or spewing taqyiyya if you like. Talking out of both sides of their mouths at once, is not a good sign of honesty. On FOX, Hannity does that, Kelly does that, and Bill O does that…accurate but not the least nit precise…

    The left long ago took suicide pills and jumped on the Yellow Submarine to go out and sink. “All We Need Is Love”??? What we need are balls. That is unless we want to become slaves of the Imams.

    Falwell, of course, did not storm Hustler magazine and blow anyone’s brains out. He merely filed a lawsuit charging slander—which failed because the court found that the contemptible Hustler article was of a nature that reasonable people would consider parody. Further, Mohammed has been dead for about 1,400 years; the likelihood of him showing up to file a slander lawsuit is minimal. The MSNBC guest’s reference to the Reagan administration and fundamentalists is clearly intended to suggest that conservatives and Christians are intolerant.
