WVA official forced to resign for saying, "all Muslims are terrorists"

Damn dune coons.

I do have some decent Muslim friends, but by and large, she's right.

Cruse missiles, armed drones, cluster bombs, invading innocent countries like Iraq, air/fuel dispersion bombs like used on the Highway of Death, etc., are all vastly more terrorist acts then 9/11 attack on the WTC.
So then clearly the US is far more terrorist than all the Muslims of the world combined.

Where does the US use weapons except to make a situation better?

Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny!

An opinion is not hate speech. It is an opinion, and in this country you are allowed to express your opinions, in public. On signs, on t-shirts, on vagina hats, on a soap box. Let's keep that right. Let's allow people to continue express themselves. Political correctness is tyranny.

But you are not free from consequences for your spoken opinion...unless you can point that out in the Constitution.

See, that is the point. There are no consequences. That is what free means. You can speak your mind without being assaulted in this country. Or threatened, or arrested, or media blitzed, or put on lists, or whatever other tactics and threats the Left has approved, to try to stifle those who disagree with their special feelings.
You people need to get over yourselves. Your opinion does not trump the Bill of Rights...

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) --*UPDATE 3/2/19 @ 8:25 a.m.*

West Virginia Republican Party Chairwoman Melody Potter is speaking out after a war of words broke out at the West Virginia Capitol Friday over a controversial poster that was displayed during a “Republicans Take the Rotunda” event.

"The West Virginia Republican Party does not approve, condone, or support hate speech," the statement says. "One of the exhibitors at our West Virginia Republican Party Day at the Capitol displayed a sign that we did not approve, were not aware of before the day started, and we do not support. Upon learning about the sign, we immediately asked this exhibitor to remove the sign.

Our Party supports freedom of speech, but we do not endorse speech that advances intolerant and hateful views. We have shown that when West Virginians are united, when we respect each other, embrace our differences and focus on moving our state forward what we can accomplish."

The firestorm has grabbed national attention since the story broke.

A meeting is set for Saturday morning to address the events that unfolded.

UPDATE 3/1/19 @ 10:30 p.m.
The reverberations of an anti-Muslim poster on display at the West Virginia Capitol rotunda continue, with the House Sergeant at Arms resigning and talk of possible discipline against a lawmaker who allegedly injured a doorkeeper Friday.

Sgt. at Arms Anne Lieberman resigned Friday afternoon after delegates accused her of using an anti-Muslim slur. "The sergeant of arms of this body had the nerve to say to us 'all Muslims are terrorists' that's beyond shameful and that's beyond freedom of speech," Del. Michael Angelucci, D-Marion, said.

The poster that sparked the controversy consisted of two photos. The upper photo was a picture of the World Trade Center towers during the 9/11 attack. A caption read, "'NEVER FORGET' - YOU SAID.."

Below it was a photo of Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, wearing a hijab. Omar is Muslim, and was one of two Muslim women elected to Congress. That picture's caption said, "I AM PROOF - YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN."

Fair enough. Now when are liberals going to be forced out for saying President Trump's supporters are "deplorables"?

If it will be, it is up to thee.

You have a very odd definition of free, as well as a strange idea of what the Bill of Rights involves.

One person's freedom to speak does not prevent the freedom of others to react to that speech, particularly through speech of their own.

Threats and assault are illegal, of course.

All Muslims want a world wide Caliphate or they're not real Muslims. The fact that they all aren't willing to throw their lives away in Jihad is besides the point.

Potter's statement concerned an entire religion, not politics. Turning to politics, do you want all of those who make disparaging statements about supporters of the Democratic Party forced out as well?
