In today’s Detroit News editorial page editor Nolan Finley dares to endorse the President’s use of the term “fascist” to describe our Islamic enemies. We at DU have the stopwatch running to see how fast the local ADC and CAIR chapters respond. But we aren’t expecting any public rally out of them this time, since Muslim firebrands just now learned how much those Dearborn traffic cops really cost. (This was unexpected: back home in southern Lebanon, at least in the good old days before July 12, you could use your own local soldiery to enforce order at mass rallies. Enforce attendance, too. We in America could learn a few things about free expression from Hezbollah.)
Finley, as informed dhimmis know, was recently censured by CAIR and the ADC, through its factotum the Michigan Legislature, in House Resolution 214, which was intended to punish Finley and the News for daring to remark that Hamas has an appetite for killing Jews. The Resolution was a breathtaking attack on free speech. I’m convinced the ACLU would have been more critical if they weren’t so busy trying to protect the rights of lawyer Nabih Ayad to give confidential advice to terrorists in the Middle East without the nosey old government wanting to listen in. Dearborn’s, and my, own representative in Lansing, Gino Polidori, voted for Resolution 214, but he never answered my letter asking for an explanation.
Anyway, good for Finley for ignoring the fatwa. May God protect him.

Hello, Defender
The problem is that, as he says himself, the resolution is against discriminatin opinions. I just don;t think he understands the First Amendment. A resolution is not the expression of legislator's private opinions, it's a statement of the sense of the Legislature, and by extension of the State and the People. Thanks for letting me know what he told you.
