(20,582 posts)I never said there should be a rule against drawing anything, but when you do it knowing and hope for violence, as I fully believe she did and endanger the lives of others - you don't get to play victim. Warmongers do this same thing all the time - goad, provoke and do things you and I might find trivial, but it all feeds into that bucket of hate that feeds the desire to eliminate whole groups of people - and sometimes it even works. Hitler got a lot of support for his propaganda by first demonizing and dehumanizing Jews, the handicapped, Roma, gays. And yes, I know she certainly doesn't have the power of Hitler, but ordinary Germans were spreading this bigotry and hate. How far do you believe someone should be allowed to go with it?
Since 9/11 the flames of hatred for Muslims, regardless of how tolerant most probably are, and how big the lies against them, have been fed with this crap. I'm quite sure she and her bigot followers are praying for violence, maybe even more war. I consider her in the exact same class as Coulter - they both make me sick.
