Putting anti-Islamic messages on public transportation, really???



On edit- I believe you can say just about anything you want provided it isn't defamatory, libelous, or false. I just don't see how publicly funded institutions can be compelled to publicize it.

2. It's pretty friggin' dumb; I'll give ya' that.

But there is that First Amendment thingie to consider as well.

5. I believe in the First Amendment too...

But I don't believe public transit authorities have to carry ads for anybody. I am sure they would turn down ad for a topless bar that depicted a naked woman.

9. It has to do with the criteria used to ban ads that are political in nature

because they are a government entity, First Amendment prohibitions on prior restraint or bias make things very complicated when deciding what point of views are acceptable or not.

Banning the naked woman ad would be easy - it is not political in nature.

3. It's perfect. Causing dissension and turmoil while not risking your own life.

It fits right in with the cowardly, classless bunch who Geller represents.

8. I would bet the same ones who wants anti-muslim messages on public transportation would take up arms

if the muslim wanted to put up messages against their religion. What are these people thinking, we have freedom of religion, we should not be discriminating against any religion.
