More On Geert Wilders

Overnight Thread: Pat Condell on Geert Wilders, the Netherlands, and the Death of Free Speech
H/T BigHollywood

Whatever you think of Pat Condell — the British internet talking head, former Roman Catholic and now committed atheist, who regularly heaps hot helpings of scorn on his favorite targets (Islam, religion in general, multiculturalism, European cultural suicide) — you have to admit the man is both brave and funny.

Here he is on the grotesque mockery of the judicial process currently going on in Holland in the Geert Wilders trial:

What To Expect From The Courts For the Next 3 Years

Zero will load the Appeals Courts with activist judges and the Inquisition will commence.

For Liberals, Hamilton Is 7th Heaven

When President Obama nominated David Hamilton to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, his staff said the selection "is a kind of signal" about the kind of judge this White House is seeking. If that's the case, then the signal must be: left turn ahead!

Judge Hamilton is an anti-faith extremist whose cases are only notable for their blatant religious prejudice. In the suit for which Hamilton is most recognized, the judge struck down 188 years of prayers "in Jesus' Name" to open the Indiana legislature claiming it unconstitutionally "advanced Christianity." It was a decision that was later reversed by the same court to which Hamilton is now nominated -- the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. What Hamilton lacks in Christian tolerance he makes up for in Islamic hospitality.

The judge may have struck prayers in Jesus' name but has welcomed any in Allah's.
As for his interpretation of the law, Hamilton is on record suggesting that America 's judges "writ[e] footnotes to the Constitution." He's ruled against abortion waiting periods and tougher penalties for sex offenders.

The Washington Times warned readers, "This judge is a radical's radical," whose past jobs have included fundraising for ACORN and heading up Indiana 's chapter of the ACLU. Senate leaders are hoping to slip a vote on Hamilton's confirmation past conservatives this week.

Our sources on the Hill tell us that Democrats may be persuaded to postpone the vote if the grassroots make enough noise. You know what that means! Pick up the phone today and call your Senators. Remind them that a vote for Hamilton is a vote for a judicial activist who is committed to driving a political agenda that's out of step with mainstream America.

Full Court Press for Abortion Doctor's Murder

But Heaven forfend that the same Justice Department investigate the cold blooded, pre-meditated murder of a young soldier, in broad daylight, in middle America, by a nutjob turned mooslim jihadist "freedom fighter". No mooslims in the woodpile, but you know those pro-life nutjobs are everywhere and they have to be stopped.

Do I detect a double-standard here or is it just my cynical nature? You think they might be on a fishing expedition?

Pro-life 'smear' suspected in DOJ's Tiller inquiry

One pro-life leader is questioning the motive behind the Justice Department's announcement of a probe to determine if others were involved in the murder of abortionist George Tiller.

Late Friday afternoon, the DOJ made it clear that it believes other individuals or groups may have been involved in Tiller's shooting on Sunday, May 31. The agency's press release stated it will "work tirelessly to determine the full involvement of any and all actors in this horrible crime, and to ensure that anyone who played a role in the offense is prosecuted to the full extent of federal law." (See earlier story)

Is it a legitimate investigation -- or a political payoff from the Obama administration to the pro-abortion movement? Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America, believes politics could be a motive. But she suspects there may be more behind the announced investigation than meets the eye. "This may be more of a nefarious effort than it appears on its face," she exclaims, "that in fact, the Department of Justice may be trying to smear pro-lifers, as if we all belong in the same camp, as if we all advocate violence, when it's [actually] just the opposite."

Naw, no double-standard here.
