Cameron Slater is wanting to land a blow for justice and the freedom of expression by protecting the right of people to receive money from American Corporations while advocating for the mass murder of others who hold a certain religious belief.
Yep the crazy is especially strong here.
From the blog that shall not be named:
On October 29, Whaleoil published The only solution is to kill them before they kill us, an article covering how ISIS and other Islamic adherents bent on throwing gays off building and subjugating women are to be met by preemptive force to protect our way of life and freedoms, such as they are.
This set off a small but vocal part of Social Media. No surprise: exactly the same people that are always busy trying to damage Whaleoil in some way. This time a petition was created to request the Human Rights Commission take Whaleoil to court for “hate speech“. And as you’d expect, this was promoted by other blogs and even some main stream media journalists. (Oh the irony).
But our critics didn’t leave it there. They have also been busy placing pressure on our advertisers.
They can not just disagree with our position, we must be silenced. The irony of fighting for freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, and so on, by denying someone you disagree with those rights is remarkable.
Can someone help me? Is it possible that the advocating of the murder of all people belonging to a particular religion could be considered to be hate speech?
I had to check to see if this was in fact a Whaleoil and not a post from the Civilian.
Meanwhile Giovanni Tiso expresses things elegantly at 140 characters a statement …
And if you want to sign the petition the details are here.
