Todd Shepherd of the Washington Free Beacon’s vicious jab at Pamela Geller: “Self-described free-speech advocate”

17

When conservatives attack Leftists, the Left circles the wagons and defends its own, no matter what they’ve done. But when Leftists attack conservatives, the establishment Right eagerly plays circular firing squad and throws its own under the bus. And that’s just one example of how the establishment Right is weak, pusillanimous, and essentially a tool for the Left.

Pamela Geller and I, and other foes of jihad terror, have been mocked, vilified, ridiculed, and defamed in the establishment media. This has been a classic manifestation of the Alinskyite tactic of isolating, personalizing (as in, acting as if what we say is singular to us, and egregious), demonizing and marginalizing a target. Few conservatives stood with us. And now Todd Shepherd of the Washington Free Beacon gives us a new example of this phenomenon. The Free Beacon is generally a trustworthy site, far from Leftist. But Shepherd, in speaking of our Garland event, writes that “self-described free-speech advocate Pamela Geller created the ‘Draw Muhammad’ event at which Joiner was providing security along with the Garland Police Department.”

The “self-described” adjective is a vicious jab that one would expect from some Leftist pro-censorship rag such as Mother Jones or the Huffington Post, but which should be unworthy of the Free Beacon. In reality, the Garland event was dedicated precisely to the preservation and defense of the freedom of speech. When jihadis are saying, “If you draw Muhammad, we will kill you,” free people have two choices: draw Muhammad or submit and surrender, and show that you are willing to kowtow to violent intimidation. So we held the event to show that at least some in the West will not submit to bullying, and will defend the freedom of speech.

Todd Shepherd and the Free Beacon should realize that. They clearly don’t. And the Left to which they are bowing and scraping will eventually steamroll over them, too.

“FBI Might Avoid Turning Over Documents in Texas Attack Lawsuit,” by Todd Shepherd, Washington Free Beacon, February 20, 2018:

…In response to the fundraiser, self-described free-speech advocate Pamela Geller created the “Draw Muhammad” event at which Joiner was providing security along with the Garland Police Department.The two attackers, Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi, were killed within yards of where they opened fire. It was the first attack on American soil for which ISIS claimed responsibility….

The Fee Beacon is ify…. They were involved with the FAKE Russian dossier.
They are NEVER TRUMPERS.

Washington Free Beacon initially hired firm that produced Trump-Russia dossier.

A conservative website, the Washington Free Beacon, has admitted that during the 2016 election cycle it initially hired the political research firm which compiled the explosive anti-Trump dossier that alleged Mr. Trump had long-standing ties to the Kremlin.

These are the gutless conservatives, the very same ones who are responsible for Trump’s rise. They are utterly cowed by the left whose intimidation they fear more than the loss of freedom itself.

When you POINT out the truth the left does not consider that “free speech”. But if you tell a LIE like their Negro “President” always did, then you are called one of the greatest, genius, the smartest guy in the room.

Always mocking people they look down upon. Tsk, tsk….

Pamela is absolutely correct. As I like to say, when Leftists circle the wagons, they shoot outward. When conservatives circle the wagons, they shoot inward (circular firing squad)!

I would say that Pamela is far more than a “self-described free speech advocate” when she held the draw Muhammad event. She was a hero of international proportion. Just consider: Back when Muslims started rioting all over the world because of the Danish cartoon depicting Muhammad, if the major newspapers of the West stood with the Danish newspaper and published that cartoon along with their coverage, it would have sent a powerful message that the West won’t be cowed into submission. Instead, most news organizations would not show the cartoon at the centre of the story. The West lost an opportunity to defend one of its fundamental values.

Fast forward to the Texas event, and we see Pamela Geller heroically standing up for Western values. It was an opportunity for the entire Western world to redeem themselves and thrown in their support with Pamela. Instead, they condemned her. Now a couple of years later they continue to smear her because her brave stand reveals them as the cowards they are.

Geller and Spencer are fighting one of the most important battles of western civilization and even conservatives are a stumbling block.

Todd Shepherd is a typical Democrat mouthpiece; disparaging, Pamela Geller’s advocacy for Free Speech. Todd and his comrades, of course, are opposed to the First Amendment for citizens diverse of his and the Democrats’ political/Marxist or social point-of-view. The Washington Free Beacon/Bacon is a misnomer; as is the party named the Democrats. The former and the latter are anti-Democratic; to be labeled or branded as such is an abject lie.

Thankfully, Geller and others, unlike this gaggle of autocratic true believers, do not back down from the truth. Geller will not be cowed or ensnared by a vacuous, subversive cabal’s bullying nor its perjurious defamation and lies.
