On Saturday, the Fox News Channel’s “Justice with Judge Jeanine” host Judge Jeanine Pirro argued the US should “stop blaming the victim, and start killing the murderers” in her opening statement on the Mohammed Art Exhibit and Contest.
Pirro stated, “You know, free speech in america is non-negotiable. No matter what the perceived consequences, no matter the worry about retribution from Islamic extremists, period, end of the story. A primer, the First Amendment wasn’t established to protect speech that everyone agrees with. The whole point is to protect even hate speech, speech that offends, speech that insults. Even that liberal icon of the Supreme Court, Justice William Brennan wrote, ‘government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because…[it] finds…[it] offensive or disagreeable.’ The Supreme Court ruling burning of an American flag, burning of a cross, and cursing dead soldiers at their funerals by the Westboro Baptist clan, all disgusting and repulsive to me, are protected by the First Amendment. Pam Geller’s draw the prophet contest in Garland, Texas pales in comparison to those examples.”
