Anyone see the connection between what these kind of Americans today think about Muslims and what the same kind of Germans of yesterday thought about Jews, and how that all turned out?
Hoping to gain notoriety as an even nastier Christian bigot than Pam Geller, former Marine Jon Ritzheimer organized a so called Free Speech demonstration and “draw a cartoon of Muhammad” outside a Mosque in Phoenix Friday. Ritzeimer on Facebook called for fellow Christian Republicans to bring their guns to the late afternoon rally.
Following in lockstep the street soon filled with angry purple faced bikers, Republicans and Christians many openly carrying handguns and assault rifles while waving American flags, carrying obnoxious racist signs and screaming bigoted slogans at a line of Americans defending the actual 1st Amendment and the free exercise of religion.
On that other side of the street – separated by a line of police – was a makeshift group of questionable Americans with no guns, no assault rifles, nary a flag and carrying signs that called for love, kindness, tolerance and peace.
Of course the mainstream media reports the confrontation as equal, can’t take sides, hurts share. News is no longer read, it is marketed.
What I find interesting in this is why these kind of people like Pam Geller, Jon Ritzheimer, Cliven Bundy want to join the historic names of Bull Conner, George Wallace, David Duke and so on… I suppose it is a legacy they want to put upon their children. Which is nice…
