FREE SPEECH VICTORY! AFDI does it again! "Morally Reprehensible" Chicago Transit Caves, AFDI #myjihad ads Will Run
It took months and plenty of sturm and drang, but the CTA finally
caved and accepted our #myjihad ads. It is disturbing that a government
agency is working hand in hand with a Hamas group, but that is indeed
the low state of the world at this point in the war.
Here is the white flag. Look at how they the city of Chicago calls our defense of freedom, of minorities, women and children, Jews, Christians, and Hindus racist, intolerant and "hatred." They have the indecency to call us "morally reprehensible." Oh, the irony. They are morally reprehensible for denying us our First Amendment rights. They are morally reprehensible for carrying water for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. They are morally reprehensible for abandoning religious minorites, women and children living under the boot of the most oppressive and extreme ideology on the face of the earth.
Our ads are like the silver cross to their Dracula. And the jihad aligned media can't get enough of the Muslim Brotherhood lie. Another glowing piece ran yesterday at CNN International. Look here. This is the same CNN who's Peter Bergen is telling us not to overstate the threat of al Qaeda. (link thanks to Larry)

Lawsuit forces Chicago to accept anti-jihad bus ads Neil Munro
The Chicago Transit Authority has agreed to display plain-spoken anti-jihad ads on city buses, following a lawsuit by the American Freedom Law Center.
City officials initially rejected the American Freedom Defense Initiative’s anti-jihad ads, even after the city accepted bus ads that touted a sanitized portrayal of jihad as exercise and education rather than warfare.
The center’s anti-jihad ads are “morally reprehensible — advocating racism, hatred and intolerance of cultural diversity,” said a Feb. 4 letter from Karen Seimetz, the general counsel of the city’s bus authority.

To which my lawyer, David Yerushalmi of the American Freedom Law Center, responded:
Dear Ms. Seimetz:
Thank you for your letter of today's date. To the extent that the indemnity you will ask my client to sign is commercially and legally reasonable and indeed an agreement required of all advertisers, I don't imagine that will be an issue.
As to you prefatory comment about my client's ad being morally reprehensible, I must note that you provide no basis for your professed moral outrage other than conclusory language about advocating racism, hatred and the like. For a lawyer employed by a state entity, your comments are both inappropriate and logically inept. My client's ad advocates no such thing. That suggests, of course, that your commentary is a political cover for the CTA, which in turn speaks to the lack of intellectual integrity and moral rectitude of both the CTA and its spokespersons.
Be that as it may, the CTA has capitulated grudgingly, apparently, to the First Amendment of the Constitution. And, apparently, we have my clients to thank for that.
