After sparring with CNN's Alisyn Camerota the day before, anti-Islam activist Pam Geller on Tuesday came up against criticism on Fox News.
Geller was on third day of interviews after two gunmen were killed on Sunday while opening fire on a security officer at an event she organized in Garland, Texas. The gathering was a contest to draw the Prophet Muhammad.
Fox host Martha MacCallum noted that Geller has taken criticism from the staff of Charlie Hebdo and American conservatives such as Bill Donahue of the Catholic League. Donald Trump also called Geller's actions "DUMB!" and said her cartoon contest was just "taunting" people.
Geller brushed off Trump's critique, and then rolled out an analogy that left MacCallum reeling. "What would he have said about Rosa Parks?" Geller said. "'Rosa Parks should never have gone to the front of the bus. She's taunting people.'"
"No, no, no, where are you getting the Rosa Parks comparison?" MacCallum interrupted, before moving on.

The central point that she is making is that we, as Americans, need to insure that we - as Americans - have the right to exercise our right to express ourselves. The 1st amendment is fundamental.
Now blast me.... god forbid someone disagrees on DU.
