I See the Conservatives Are Trying To Flex Some Muscle
Apparently today's playbook is to try to push Borders into carrying some publication that is reprinting the controversial Danish cartoons of Muhammad on inside pages. Okay, okay, waste your bandwidth if you must, but please, quit crying about the freedom of expression - Borders is a store, their job is to do what it takes to increase sales and reduce costs, and that's what they're doing. Borders has given Free Inquiry magazine more promotion than they probably get in a year with this action, so more good than harm has come to them as well.

I am a muslim. I have no desire to see these cartoons. But, he or anyone else can see them if they like. That's their choice, it doesn't mean he has to hold my eyes open a la "A Clockwork Orange" and force me to see them. And I can almost bet that my tolerance for intolerance is far greater than theirs - having had to face intolerance and prejiduce about Islam most of my adult life. Coming from a bunch of folks who call anyone who speaks out against this Administration a traitor, their call for free speech rings kind of hollow.
This guy, by the way, is drinking the same Kool-Aid as Michelle Malkin who has a button on her web site to view the cartoons. These people remind me of kids in grade school who, when they lose an argument, all they can resort to is making faces.
A bunch of illiterate ignorant morons!
