Where does CNN find these idiots?
On Friday May 29, CNN's New Day show featured Chris Cuomo bloviating about a draw Mohammed free speech gathering in Arizona. He said the contest was not a freedom issue, because the right to free speech is certain, but rather a moral issue. He likened the contest to the use of the N-word.
In fact, use of that word is selectively defined as hate speech. Cuomo and Pamela Geller got into shouting match over that analogy. Cuomo went on to opine that the other real problem with the event, in addition to its immorality, was that there is not enough gun control, because a Marine had advised people to bring their guns.
Mr. Cuomo forgot that it was a citizen bearing a legal gun who prevented a massacre in Geller's draw Mohammed contest just a few weeks ago!
Cuomo thinks it is immoral, in itself, to use free speech that offends a differing opinion. But most astonishing was his assertion that "[t]he First and Second Amendments weren't put together to defend each other, that's for sure." Does Cuomo really not see the significance of the sequence of these amendments – the enumeration of rights followed by the right to bear arms to protect them? Can he really believe that the First and Second Amendments are not related?
It seems that left-wing insanity is accelerating.
edit: dropped contention that n-word is illegal
