San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency has posted a counter campaign to Pamela Geller’s bus ad campaign – ‘Support Israel Defeat Jihad’ – because they object to the use of ‘savages’ to describe Muslim terrorists. Funny, they never posted a counter campaign to the ads that denigrated and slandered the state of Israel.
ABC Muni has taken the unprecedented step of condemning one of the paid advertisements on several of its buses. It all started with a controversial ad in support of Israel that included some hot-button words like “jihad’ and “savages.” Friday, the transit agency got involved with its own counter-ad.
The dueling ads appear almost side-by-side on 10 Muni buses. The original ad popped up last week reading “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat jihad.”
PAMELA’S CAMPAIGN
Friday, Muni came back with its response — a bus card saying its policy prohibits discrimination and it condemns statements that describe any group as savages. “Obviously we think the ads in place right now are repulsive and they definitely cross the line,” Muni spokesperson Paul Rose said. “So there’s not a lot we can do in light of the First Amendment.”
SAN FRANCISCO TRANSIT’S COUNTER CAMPAIGN
The group behind the pro-Israel ad calls itself the American Freedom Defense Initiative. Pamela Geller of New York heads the group and she says she’s now planning another Muni bus ad.
I WONDER HOW THEY WILL COUNTER THIS CAMPAIGN?
“Those ads will be calling out the institutionalized and systemic anti-Semitism of the government of San Francisco,” she said. “They’re clearly picking sides. They should be running disclaimers on every ad, not just mine.”
The Council on American-Islamic Relations welcomes Muni’s counter-ad as a step in the right direction. ”A lot of the damage has already been done; we have heard from many community members both at our organization and other organizations across the Bay Area who say they don’t feel comfortable boarding the buses that carry these ads,” CAIR spokesperson Zahra Billoo said.
“This is someone who’s thriving on creating fear of millions, if not billions, of Arabs and Muslims across the world,” Billoo said. (And this is a bad thing because WHY?)
In CA the PC attitude will be their undoing. Let’s just cut them off from the rest of us. They can have all the illegals, muslims and any other group. Let that state take care of them without my help.
Even the Peoples Republic of Beserkley could not stomach the idea of a sister city relationship with gaza. Their freakazoid sister across the bay has managed to out do them.
How about a campaign calling Romney & Ryan savages? I bet there would be no disclaimer.
REALLY, I thought all the NAZIs that fled Europe ended up in SOUTH America – SILLY ME.
These lefty scum must be the grand children, you know, HATCHED against the wall by the SUN. How anybody can excuse the stabbing , throat cutting and point blank shooting of JEWISH infants and children not to mention the tens of thousands MURDERED by JIHAD around islams borders since 9/11 is beyond me. ZERO mercy for the NEW NAZIES.
One day, these filleted eunchs might be culturally “enriched” by a nice big BOMB in one of their gay clubs, i wonder how THAT will go down.
Progressives are so blind and lost. Righteousness, Godliness, and Truth are all offensive terms for them. They are of the darkness and hate the light…
“Men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light , and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light , so that it may be seen plainly”
Jesus
Welcome back again, BNI!
So the SFTA, unable to engage in outright censorship because of that pesky First Amendment stuff, is resorting to plain old-fashioned cowardice and policially correct dhimmitude. You have to wonder what “other characteristics” of “groups” the SFTA might consider worthy of designating “savages”. Cannibalism? Human sacrifice? Slavery? Public hanging of homosexuals… oh, wait…
Thursday night I had the privilege of attending a talk by Clare Lopez on the Huma Abedin/Muslim Brotherhood scandal. Whatever you have heard or read about this so far is probably an understatement. This is infiltration of our government at the highest levels by Muslim supremacists at the very top of the stealth jihad ladder. The Obama regime MUST be defeated in November. Lopez recommends Walid Shoebat’s site for continuing coverage and updates on this situation ( http://www.shoebat.com/ ) as well as that of the Center for Security Policy.
RRA, before I went down I had posted all the Shoebat stories on this.
Hate speech? What morons! Read the Quran lately? The hate speech against this proud infidel in that war Manuel is offensive and disgusting as is the bag on your head!
There is no “group” mentioned in the Pamela Geller ad that is on the bus. Are the muslimes paranoid? Can’t wait for cair to demand that the ads be removed. I’ll bet that they (muslimes) just hate it when we use OUR constitution against them.
Dawn, they already tried that.
Shame on the San Fran transit for wasting tax payer’s dollars to go against the truth. I absolutely like the second sign telling the world of the over 19,000 terrorist attacks done by cult members of islam. The truth is the truth. We must keep the truth front and center and in the face of the savage muslims of islam.
The anti-semitism and anti-western bigotry of San Francisco is amazing when you consider how Sharia Islamics treat gays who are a key constituency of San Francisco! However, what it really shows is that San Francisco’s establishment is so far left that they have no perspective on real world reality! All that matters to them is supporting the left-wing, political correctness, new speak!
Notice, everybody, how Municipal Transit’s mouthpiece, Paul Rose, hates the First Amendment in his comments? Wow! Let’s suppress free speech in the name of political correctness is his attitude!
As a national culture, we have to ask ourselves as Americans how we became so dense? In some ways, the Sharia Jihadists almost have a point about us! How can a culture so full of dense flakes in their governing structures deserve to survive?
The Obama has to go in 2012 or we are so done! This country needs a major house-cleaning after Romney takes office! As an act of survival for the sake of our national existance, we need to dramatically curtail Islamic immigration and influence in this country first and foremost!
Best Wishes, Everybody!
This is Polosi work . Funny her name sounds like a virus. You got to understand were these people are coming from. They use to do big ads how good it was there with drugs and everything goes. They had become the runaway capital of the United States. These kids became hooker and it didn’t matter what age or sex they were.
Did they really do anything to stop this no not at that time. Politicians were using these kids as well for sex. Until the aids virus got real bad they had to put a stop to it. Am not saying it only happened there. Were I live politicians were doing it to. They would help women to get apartments in projects by day and stop at night for sex as payment.
When these women got pregnant they had a doctor who would come to the house to perform abortions . Some it was too late the babies were alive they were found crying in sews. But they didn’t last long. At the time abortions were against the law maybe that’s why they changed the law. Massachusetts leads the way like in gay marriages.
We had a judge and a hooker came up and he saids I let you go before and your back again what am I going to do with you. He then said I will take care of it see you tonight.
Another judge with juvenile court, judge the kids during the day at night he be out to pick then up. Now who don’t believe our politicians are not slime balls. But as for these ads showing wasteful spending could be why that state as well as others are broke. There is a city here the city council put on the agenda at last min. a pay raise of 44% for themselves.
Now wonder why people are losing homes in this city. When the city hall cut workers and closes the city hall at noontime on Fridays. One city counselor said we deserve the rise .
Could be were times are hard drug sales are down and insurance companies might get wise were one counselor burn 2 houses.
Funny there was 8 houses burnt in the last month and a school burnt could be insurance companies are paying. But whats real sad the river was polluted with P.C.P.’S . Government came in spent million of federal tax dollars to clean it up.
Now it just finished so to celebrate they tore a mill down next to the river that was filled with P.C.P’s and buried it so it can leak back into to the river so another generation of kids can die from cancer. The mayor lied and said it was moved to Washington State and the company who took the building down moved workers else were to try to cover it up. And the Mayor left office. But the people still found out about it.
Same city cops killed people in the cells what the city do. Nothing but look the other way. Now they are not allowed to hold anyone. Prisoners go to the house of corrections now. May you should replace police offices who use the barge for themselves. That’s hard to do their union runs the city.
That could be why schools have low education standards . A superintendent said you don’t need a education for all jobs. Because the superintendent he replaced had a doctorate in education and he had a teaching certificate. The F.B.I did come in once because they took a man out of the hospital unconscious to be arraigned in court . He was arraigned after 3 pm on a Friday. So it was posted the next day that was a Monday.
Another judge said he saw the man in court on Monday walking around. Well if this judge was on he would of handled the arraignment but he leaves at 3pm. But he did know the guy . When the guy was 16 he got him drunk at his Champlain rally.
Needs a federal investigation of this city but Obama people are too busy with getting arms to terrorist around the world even to England and France plus working for C.A.I.R to make this a terrorists playground do the job. May Allah drop dead on them.
well with the way the glaciers are melting a lot of california will soon be underwater anyway.
San Francisco is the gay capital of America. You’d think they’d have a clue that muslims hate homosexuals and believe they should all be killed. Dumbasses!
San Francisco where the flower power people originated. They must still be a little slow on dope to even suggest a thing.
How about bus adverts displaying the Muslim slaughter of innocents such as the recent beheading of a Christian and others, the little child being hung by the neck somewhere in the Muslim world, the results of our boys being blown apart by theses savages, little girls being circumcised. Stonings, photos of women having acid thrown in their faces, and so on. Savages, yes. It’s time the truth was displayed for all to see and not just those of us who are in the know.
Pam should make a sign that reads: I ride this bus to support Israel. Jihadist be damned!
LONG LIVE PAMELA GELLER!
Defeat sick, evil Jihad! Down with Fashist Islime!!!!
