My latest in PJ Media:
Everyone knows the double standard is in place. It is taken for granted so much that people barely remark upon it anymore. When someone who dissents from the Leftist agenda offends Leftist sensibilities, his or her career is ruined for good. Remember Roseanne Barr, Tim Allen, and a host of others. Now the Left has Joe Rogan in its sights for daring to dissent from COVID orthodoxy and has suddenly discovered that years ago, he used a racial slur. Spotify has removed over a hundred of his podcasts, and the end is not in sight. But if someone who is reliably Leftist says something that offends the self-appointed guardians of acceptable opinion, the punishment is slight at best, as we have just seen with Whoopi Goldberg’s two-week suspension for Holocaust denial (which doesn’t really bother the hard Left, but they have to keep up some semblance of an attachment to truth and basic decency). And if the offending speaker is a member of a group with enough victimhood privilege, he or she won’t be punished at all, as the career of Mehdi Hasan indicates.
Mehdi Hasan is a hate-filled far-Left MSNBC host who espouses fashionable Big Lies such as the claim that “white supremacy is now a key ideology of the Republican Party” and “the far-right domestic terror threat is more dangerous than even Al Qaeda after 9/11.” During the Whoopi Goldberg controversy, remarks that Hasan made in 2009 resurfaced, leading many to question why Hasan’s star has consistently risen in the Leftist media, despite his manifest hatred and contempt for non-Muslims.
Hasan, a Shi’ite, said of the early Sunni caliph Yazid: “All of these ulama unanimously agree that at the very minimum if Yazid was not a Kaffir [unbeliever] — then at the very minimum he was a fasiq, a transgressor, a breaker of Islamic laws, a corrupt individual, a tyrant, a killer, a drunkard, a dog lover, a music lover, a homosexual, a pedophile, a sexual deviant, someone who slept with his own mother.”
Now, the Left has no problem with corrupt individuals such as Hunter and Joe Biden if they’re on the right side of the political divide. Tyrannical themselves, Leftists have no problem with tyrants, either. Killers? Depends on who is being killed. Drunkard? Dog lovers? Music lovers? Come on, man! Homosexuals, pedophiles, and sexual deviants? Are we talking about the staff of CNN now?
Anyway, Hasan then broadened his targets to include atheists: “In this respect the Koran describes the atheist as cattle. As cattle of those who grow the crops and do not stop and wonder about this world.” The Qur’an does indeed say: “Already we have created many of the jinn and mankind for Gehenna, having hearts with which they do not understand, and having eyes with which they do not see, and having ears with which they do not hear. They are like cattle, no, they are worse. These are the neglectful.” (7:179)
There is more. Read the rest here.

Whoopi GOLDBERG adopted a Jewish stage-name on the supposition that being Jewish helps in show business. That in itself is ‘racist’ or anti-Semitic. I can’t think of one Jew in show business who didn’t get there through their talent and hard work.
Mehdi Hasan is a kafir-o-phobic member of the Red-Green Axis. He suspiciously never criticizes Leftists his fellow-travellers in destroying Western civilization.
Mehdi Hasan is a great calumniator, because Islam believes that kafirs should not have their ‘honor’ protected. Calumniating kafirs and inventing false slanders against them is ‘PERMISSIBLE’ in Sharia law and perhaps even laudable for the Muslim who does it.
CALUMNIATING kafirs is one form of VERBAL JI(HAD that would be appreciated by many Muslims.
The sin of CALUMNY is actually TWO SINS in one: firstly, it is the sin of lying and inventing false tales; secondly, it is the sin of intentionally trying to destroy a person’s good name and reputation and hurt them so they may not have a job and earn a living.
mortimer says
TWO-FACED? DOUBLE STANDARDS? That is because TWO is the SACRED NUMBER IN ISLAM. Islam is DUALISTIC. However, Leftism is OPPORTUNISTIC and AMORAL … being two-faced is normative in Leftism, because Leftism’s goal is one thing only: political power.
Leftists know that once an authority has the power to censor some speech, it has the power to censor any speech at virtually no cost.
And what did O’Brien say to Winston Smith just before plucking out his tooth in the dread Room 101?
– “The object of power is power.”
The Leftists at CNN know that too.
That is why Leftists will eventually destroy Islam when they achieve unopposable power.

One would think…if one thinks…that if Whites posed the greatest threat, more people would be more careful when it comes to offending Whites. IF we are so dangerous, shouldn’t they be careful what they say, be careful about making us angry? Isn’t it that “they won’t like us when we are angry”? (“Don’t make me angry. You won’t like me when I’m angry.” Incredible Hulk)
mozlums always point the finger at those who don’t pose a threat in order to cause people to look away from the real, the actual, threat…of islam and the rabid mozlums who carry it around.

*Spot on*, Somehistory. Yet everyone can insult white people in the most grotesque manner–no fear there, which gives the lie to white people as a group being a threat.

Seconded, somehistory and gravenimage.

1. Joe Rogan has some fascinating podcasts,like about the Sphinx being more than 9,000 years old,according to scientist Robert Schoch. Love it.
2. Rogan is a Leftist who was with BERNIE SANDERS but he is respectful of non-Leftist.
3. He has apologized TWICE and Leftists still want to destroy him, he has taken down 113 podcasts. He is a broken man, having BETRAYED his principles. Who will be NEXT?
4. My bet is RUSSELL BRAND ( Leftist who is more centrist now ). Many of his youtube videos are seen by 1 MILLION. Many think he will not Bow Down on his Knees and Beg for Forgiveness like Rogan,
but I think when they start censoring him, he will Betray his Principles like Rogan.
Brand has made a video about Joe Rogan ( 2.2 MILLION views) called “The Truth”.
a. About Mehdi Hasan and his OPEN hatred of non-Muslims. Truth is, Muslims are SO sure of winning the War against Western Civilization, that Muslim debaters ( new generation )
do NOT hide they are Against Human Rights.
b. It is Proudly Proclaimed,for example:
Apostate Prophet yesterday had a debate with a new generation Muslim apologist on
“FULL DEBATE | Should Ex-Muslims be Executed? | Apostate Prophet vs. Dr. Khalid PhD” ( 1 hr 30 m )
The Muslim said YES. His argument was that apostates destroy society,so kill them.

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan, Joe Rogan, and the Left’s Cancel Culture Double Standard
…………..
Yes–that the appalling Mehdi Hasan gets a pass shows that Muslims–including Jihadists–are mostly untouchable. Insanity.

A Brown Supremacist ny any other name…

Actually, this is more about Islamic supremacism than it is about race.

Roseanne got double-whammied because she dared to confront some of the Sex Traffickers Who Must Not Be Named, mainly because they worked under the protection of high-ranking Swamp Dwellers. But I digress.
I study a philosophy because I wonder about the world. Proponents of Islam’s b.s. referring to us as “cattle”? Moo-hoo. Many are offended, but only the whores of imaginary Allah and Mo’ prescribe murder.
“A homosexual, a pedophile, a sexual deviant, someone who slept with his own mother,” well, that’s halfway to an accurate description of the “Prophet”.
There are those it is impossible to “insult”. But it’s fun to take a whack at it now and then.

Whew! Good thing I vote non-partisan.

Left has the ecosystem on their side, all companies are on the left side. So people who want to survive have to bow down. Because they got no choice.
We need to create an ecosystem similar to the left otherwise be prepared to worship 5 times.
gravenimage says
The ecosystem is not on the side of leftism; leftists just pretend that it is.

Cancel culture needs to cancel, it is just plain stupid.
