The organization&#8217;s president, Pamela Geller, an ardent supporter of free speech, defended the event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Islamic jihadis are determined to suppress our freedom of speech violently,&#8221; she told CNN. &#8220;They struck in Paris and Copenhagen recently, and now in Texas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>PC is the same as Orwell&#8217;s <i>Newspeak<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Geller&#8217;s defense of her event garnered no small amount of criticism from a number of Muslim sympathizers. But the greater outrage was saved for conservative comedian Evan Sayet; after the shooting, he tweeted out: &#8220;My favorite drawings at the Muhammad cartoon festival in Texas were the two chalk outlines out front&#8221; &#8212; a reference to drawings by police on the pavement around the two bodies of the attackers.<\/p>\n<p>Sayet was immediately criticized as being &#8220;insensitive&#8221; by a number of people on Twitter, which he acknowledged <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2015\/05\/05\/median-reacts-to-backlash-from-his-truly-epic-tweet-on-garland-shooting\/\/\">in an interview with <i>The Daily Caller<\/i><\/a> but which he dismissed as so much political correctness.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Political Correctness &#8212; which is just a euphemism for the totalitarian concept of &#8216;Newspeak&#8217; written about by Orwell in <i>1984<\/i> &#8212; has nearly destroyed comedy in the same way that it has nearly destroyed education, journalism and the other fields where the powers-that-be are on the Left,&#8221; Sayet told the DC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, just as the &#8216;education&#8217; system is used to indoctrinate children and &#8216;journalism&#8217; is used to give credence to Leftist policies and positions, comedy (and the whole of the entertainment industry) is used to reinforce Leftist propaganda,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I only regret we live in a society where a joke at the expense of would-be mass murderers is something that anyone thinks I have to defend. And, again, the Leftists have accomplished their goal. Who is really irreverent here, me in a silly tweet about would-be mass murderers or those who sought to assault that which SHOULD be revered, the First Amendment right &#8212; the HUMAN right &#8212; of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/free_speech.html\">free speech<\/a>?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some negative responses to his tweet included:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course it is. It&#8217;s the people like you that make me hate this country more than I already do. Have a nice life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NO! JUST NO! I will defend free <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/speech.html\">speech<\/a> vehemently. But as a Christian I will NEVER REJOICE in the death of anyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Death is never funny. Even when it&#8217;s necessary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But if the subject turns to vaccine-damaged children, and the comedian is Jimmy Kimmel, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/048834_Jimmy_Kimmel_hate_speech_labels_anti-vaxxers.html\">boy, <i>that&#8217;s funny<\/i><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><b>Cultural and ethnic minorities &#8212; and now vaccine-choice advocates &#8212; have historically been persecuted<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As reported by <i>Natural News<\/i> editor Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, in a March 2 article, Kimmel pummeled vaccine-damaged children and their parents (see his distasteful rant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebaumsworld.com\/video\/watch\/84488954\/\">here<\/a>). Adams wrote:<\/p>\n<p><i>In this astonishing display of bigoted hate speech, Jimmy Kimmel legitimizes the public&#8217;s verbal abuse and aggressive bullying of children like Angelica Black, a child whose family was recently awarded a $2 million compensation by the <\/i>National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program<i> after it was factually proven that vaccines caused severe, permanent brain damage that crippled Angelica Black for life.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Adams goes on to point out that most Americans have never even heard of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. He also notes that &#8220;anti-vaxxers,&#8221; as vaccine freedom advocates are being labeled, are being ridiculed and desensitized in a way that ethnic and cultural minorities in the past have been demeaned.<\/p>\n<p>Geller should beware; her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/free.html\">free<\/a> speech event which spurred two people to attempt mass murder is being panned as improper, while <i>their<\/i> actions, in some U.S. cultural circles, are being praised as <i>proper<\/i> and <i>justified<\/i>.
