O'REILLY VS. MALKIN ON STANISLAV SHMULEVICH. O'Reilly is happy Shmulevich is being charged with a hate crime; Malkin looks at the context at Pace University--and is critical in general of hate crime law.

Check out Bryan Preston's post which seems to mirror Malkin's argument.

Shmulevich's arrest has chilled me to the bones. This is a political arrest, an arrest because of a "thought crime" and it has happened right here in America. For those who haven't read the book 1984 I suggest you do. I don't know whey there isn't more talk about how this symbolizes a scary turn for America.

As for Bill O'Reilly, I can't forgive him for the opinion he expressed last night. That is how I feel about it. I would hope that all patriotic Americans would boycott his show and I am sure that would bring him down quickly.

If you can't feel the chill then you don't understand history. America wasn't supposed to have politically motivated thought crimes in our governmental system but now we do. The liberals are turning us into a "Big Brother" totalitarian state.

I think part of the issue is that many think that the burning of the American flag and the desecration of religious objects being called art--these are things that should be actionable, yet have been shrugged off as free speech.

Some of those who are opposed to the action being taken against Shmulevich are opposed not because they tjavascript:void(0)
