    Free speech aside, why would anyone do something as provocative as hosting a "Muhammad drawing contest"?

        @PrisonPlanet Nice ! A grown man who can only speak via insults. Do you find it difficult to be polite to other people? Have a great day.

        .@rcallimachi Your suggestion that drawing cartoons is more "provocative" than shooting people for drawing cartoons is beyond an insult.

        @rcallimachi The fact that someone who works for one of the biggest media outlets in the world uses the term "free speech aside" is chilling

        @PrisonPlanet Once again, taking my words out of context. Sorry buddy, I'm outta here. Have fun debating someone who likes rudeness + lies

        @rcallimachi Putting #FreeSpeechAside is unacceptable in any context, especially in the US, especially by a journalist. @prisonplanet

        @LeeMarkle2 Like to California? Lol. Yeah. Thanks. Also might be useful if you cracked a grammar book. "Aside" doesn't mean "to the side"

        @LeeMarkle2 Exactly. And "to one side" does not mean "kick to the curb." Which is what you seem to have understood it to mean.

        @LeeMarkle2 "Besides free speech, why would anyone do this?" (I tweeted this because knowing Geller's bio, I doubt free speech was motive)

        @LeeMarkle2 Oh i think she believed in what she was doing. But the point she was trying to make is not free speech.

        @rcallimachi @jbrandstein same reason why people did "Piss Christ" but where was your outrage then? I guess making fun of Jesus is ok
