Here’s one for the Mintoffjani (and from a Democrat, too)

“I know it is hard for some people to understand why the United States cannot or does not just prevent these kinds of reprehensible videos from ever seeing the light of day.

“I would note that in today’s world, with today’s technologies, that is virtually impossible.

“But even if it were possible, our country does have a long tradition of free expression which is enshrined in our constitution and our law.

“And we do not stop individual citizens from expressing their views no matter how distasteful they may be.

“There are of course different views around the world about the outer limits of free speech and free expression. But there should be no debate about the simple proposition that violence in response to speech is not acceptable.”

– Hilary Clinton, this morning.

Now go back to your vacuous Facebook groups and carry on discussing whether I should be gagged, stoned, hanged, shot, have my face smashed in, be run over by a truck (make that a ‘trakk’), or be deprived of any form of protection so that all of this can be done to me at once by all of you.

Shame you don’t know what pitchforks are, though you could always look up the word and research its significance in context.

And then you have the nerve to consider yourselves somehow superior to the Libyan underclass who set fire to the US consulate in Benghazi with the employees and ambassador still inside – and yes, defining all Libyans by those people is like defining all Maltese by the ‘awwww aaaaa bott l*ba’ brigade. Don’t do it, because it’s wrong.

That ghastly incident is just the perfect illustration of how similar you, horrible Mintoffjani, really are to those who set fire to the US consulate because they didn’t like an American film they hadn’t even seen and couldn’t even understand because it is in English.

Didn’t your daddies and grand-daddies, your uncles and big brothers, do exactly the same thing and set fire to a newspaper building with the employees still inside, because they didn’t like what that newspaper stood for?

The only difference is that with The Times of Malta, there were upstairs windows and brave neighbours (Monsignor Philip Calleja of Dar L-Emigrant, actually) with a long ladder. The people at the US consulate in Benghazi were not so lucky.

    Good point, Daphne, but unfortunately your cogent comment will not register with these mindless, ignorant, illiterate sickos.

  2. Natalie says:

    They will never understand these basic concepts.

  3. Observer says:

    The sad thing is that even The Times has forgotten about this incident to the point that much of the time it is flirting with Labour.

  4. H.P. Baxxter says:

    Hilary for President, what. That’s probably the most European pronouncement ever to be issued by an American official. And beautifully phrased too.

    Meanwhile, back in Malta…

    At the end of the day it’s all about:

    Freedom of speech being the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
