SALMAN RUSHDIE - INGRATE OF THE YEAR

All the money we spent protecting this man, and he learned almost nothing of import about our culture.

Next time you get yourself into trouble with Jihadists, why don't you have your friend Bono The Pussified Pacifist protect you, ok Salmanella?

Salman Rushdie, Pro-Ground Zero Mosque, Anti-Koran-Burning

His own book was burned by Muslim fanatics, and a fatwa was put on his head, but firebrand author Salman Rushdie said yesterday that he supports a mosque and Islamic cultural center just two blocks from Ground Zero.
"It's just a stupid argument," said Rushdie, after he spoke at the Brooklyn Book Festival. "Of course they should be able to build a mosque there."
The author of "The Satanic Verses" said the debate over the proximity of the mosque to Ground Zero was ridiculous, since a mosque was inside the World Trade Center itself.
Rushdie said he treasured America's First Amendment rights -- but not when it came to Florida Pastor Terry Jones' Koran-torching threats.

Salman Rushdie

"I'm not in favor of burning books," Rushdie said.

Here's the thing, Salman; the man has the right to burn the fucking Koran. And when the FBI, the Secretary of Defense and the President of the United States, all use the authority of their offices to scare this man out of exercising his right to Free Speech, then it becomes incumbent upon We the People to stand up against our government by doing exactly the thing they would forbid us from doing.


THAT'S HOW FREE SPEECH WORKS, YOU FRIGGIN' IDIOT.
