Rosa Parks was a victim of American oppression and fought back. Pamela is a victim of her own imaginatiom. Huge difference. It appears YOU can not see the difference.
Pemela is a victim of political correctness, and is trying to effect change in America. Just as Rosa Parks did.
I can see the difference, but I"m not asking for a comparison of the difference. I"m asking what lessons people take away from Rosa Parks and her knowingly antagonizing the powers that be.
If we fear to express controversial speech, we are being oppressed, just as Rosa was being oppressed.
Wrong.
This fails as a false comparison fallacy.
Ms. Parks and other African-Americans in 1955 Alabama were subject to segregation measures enacted by government and enforced as authorized by the law, where indeed Ms. Parks was subject to arrest for having violated that law.
Unlike Ms. Parks, Geller is subject to no laws, acts of government, or measures seeking to deny her her First Amendment rights or her right to speak freely.
Indeed, there is no such thing as 'political correctness,' it's a myth contrived by the right in an effort to deflect from the GOP and conservatives the racism and bigotry that find refuge among the ranks of republicans and conservatives.
That there are private citizens denouncing Geller's ignorance and hate in no way constitutes a 'violation' of her right to 'free speech'; only government has the authority to seek to limit or preempt speech when such efforts comport with First Amendment jurisprudence. Private citizens have no such authority, nor does the myth of 'political correctness.'
In fact, to attempt to compare Ms. Parks and her courageous struggle against segregation laws with the likes of Pamela Geller and other hateful, ignorant bigots is repugnant and unwarranted.
