Pamela Geller, WND Column: San Francisco wages brutal war on free speech

Now San Francisco wages brutal war on free speech
Exclusive: Pamela Geller exposes left’s ‘oppression and tyranny’ in silencing Americans

In a unanimous vote, the uber-left San Francisco autocratic government shut down free speech on transit systems last Tuesday after our organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, or AFDI, submitted our latest ad campaign to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority to run on buses across the city.

Story continues below advertisement

This action is emblematic of the left: Silence your opponents, as all totalitarians do.

Here is where the euphemistically named “Free Speech Movement” has taken us: not to free speech at all, but to oppression and tyranny. This is an outrageous violation of our First Amendment rights. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed precisely to protect speech that was offensive to some in order to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech opposing them and silencing the powerless.

Our latest ad merely calls for support of President Donald Trump’s immigration ban, and it runs the names of refugees into the United States who have been convicted of Islamic terror-related crimes. We intend to run it in sanctuary cities across America where the freedom of speech has not yet been banned. Sadly, the list of cities where it has been banned is ever-increasing. New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, Miami and Chicago have all banned “political” and “cause-related” advertising.

Suppression of free speech will be the trigger that destroys the left. Once people are suppressed, they ill find other outlets to make themselves heard. socialist islamic democrats will exhaust themselves trying to do the impossible.

I cannot express how much I care about your criticism, Mushu. But living in the glorious past as I do, an ancient and noblely stunned unemployed asshole with unenlightened opinions, I would like to point out that your freedom to remain colossally ignorant was purchased by me and my patriarchal ancestors at great price.

I would say you’re welcome, but stupid as I am, I really do not think you are welcome. I now wonder how the hell some moron, like youself, managed to get into this country in the first place?

How quaint, another burnt out remnant of the 60’s, a flower child gone to seed. Resting on the laurels of other people and your ancestors is no tribute to ewe, another has been that never was. Allow me to mention that my freedom to be the way that I am, is bought and paid for by paying my taxes, which I have for decades. It is easy to get into this country, imbeciles like you are not watching the border, not that it would make any difference, as my ancestors had the skills that allowed them entry to take advantages of opportunities they were given nothing, the money was invested to pay for indigent natural born bums welfare. You are welcome.

What US war did you fight in Mushu? Oh, the war of theft and grifting? Take your decades of taxes [which I am certain now you cheated on] and shove them up your ass. Dying is the ultimate tax. Who died in your family defending the country? Perhaps you should go back from wherever you came…except you could not survive there now.

Your treatise on presumption is a tribute to the peasant like liberal democrat edition system you suckled the stale tit of for what you pass off as an “education”. Apparently you died a brain death defending the right to be stupid and the ridiculousness of socialism.

I am talking to the mentally ill. You appear to be another troll on MM. OK. Was your lifetime goal to be a slut. Is there anything you will not do for money. Is your profile picture a cartoon because you are a 400 pound blue haired lesbian?

Wow I read the whole exchange. You Rod ran out of debate in record time and devolved into personal attacks as all liberals do. You have no argument so the personal attacks. You sir are a small person. Not in statue but in character. You need to stop look in the mirror let the scales fall from your eyes. Ask for forgiveness and grace. God Bless.

Seamen, I reply in kind. Like you, Mushu had no debate. There were no facts. Want to rant, then get ranted. Want to insult, then get insulted. Want to discuss, bring the facts and evidence and we will discuss.

So looking at your rant, Seamen, I note with particular glee your absolutely libtarded filter that perverts your own personal perception. You opinions are crap. Like Mushu, you resort to insults because you have no game. You do not know what a discussion is. You cannot see facts because you do not know what facts are.

Hope this was good for you Seamen, because ordinarily I do not recognize Trolls twice. Come back when you get an education.

The left may dumb down the masses but they will never be able to get them to shut up. Ask everyone on a cell phone. Maybe the right needs to offer subsidies on them. The left would really blow a fuse.

Publicly ridiculing leftzo’s always infuriated them, provoking them to greater heights of stupidity.

Yeah, I disagree with your logic. But I agree with your projected outcome as it stands now. Whether in “spades” or worse…it’s coming. Last time the delusional left hallucinated about revolution was the Doors song “We got the numbers”. Oops, WE got the numbers and we have no reason to settle.

Generally the Board of Stupidvisors is the problem. Or some lesser agency filled with their flunkies.

I was told about their plans to take over SF, back in the late 1960s, and they succeeded.

Since the San Francisco city “leaders”, term used very loosely, seems content to abrogate the First Amendment rights of those they consider contrary to their party line, then it is a foregone conclusion they would not be interested in the enforcement of public law as found in 8 US Code Section 1182 entitled “Inadmissible Aliens”. You know, inadmissible as in the case of the illegal immigrant who had been deported five times and ended up murdering SF resident Kate Steinle with a weapon stolen from the vehicle of a US Government agent? Do the hardware stores in SF carry a decent selection of rope and materials for constructing a set of gallows?

The more bizarre and suggestive of outright evil the more the left enjoys it – as usual.

Never has there been such a concerted effort by one party – the demo-rats – to attempt to obstruct and denigrate another party – the gop – by collusion with the media. Today’s technological abilities are far more sophisticated and potentially more extensive than in the past but such development is now only rivaled by the moral depravity and sheer arrogance of leftist backed organizations funding daily doses of hit pieces and diversionary “news”. What’s more, as the industry is changing increasingly to newer forms of expression – e.g. from newspapers to social media- there are serious problems with immediacy influence of fake news and partisan reporting. Even so-called fake news checking is often fake. There is a great need for getting this information across to the mass consumers so they can see that they are often suckered. Critical thinking is needed now more than ever but it remains to be seen if the left will continue to “pull the wool over the eyes” of their followers as they label anything right as everything wrong.
