4. I feel like a broken record today... it's all about cause and effect

Ramp up anti-Muslim rhetoric (which is her Constitutional right), hold an event that will piss off extremist muslims (which is her right), extremist muslims react by getting violent and being all extreme(which is not their right), Gellar gets to say, "See, I told ya so!" She has worked long and hard on creating a situation that would bring about this effect. I suspect she's feeling very smug today (which is her right).

Then people like myself that point out this clear path of cause and effect get accused of supporting terrorists (which I don't) or are anti-first amendment (which I'm not). It's like we've lost our collective heads.

Even though Gellar has every right in the US to say what she's saying and to do what she's doing doesn't make it right. That is not victim blaming, it's just a fact. Her anti-Muslim campaign has been going on for years. Close to a decade I think. Just like any anti-LGBT person has the right to say whatever they'd like to about the LGBT community (and they do it often) doesn't make it right or moral.
