If you have ever traveled by subway in a major city, such as Washignton DC, you will see ads for all types of leftist groups. What happens when a conservative group wants to put an ad up?
The question becomes not do they have the money for an ad, but do they have the money for lawyers.
From the Washington Guardian:
A federal judge says the D.C. transit system must allow a pro-Israel ad that equates Muslim radicals with savages.
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer said in a one-page opinion Friday that the advertisement must be displayed no later than 5 p.m. on Monday.
The American Freedom Defense Initiative sued last month for the right to display the ads in the Metro system. Metro officials had delayed putting up the ads because of the violent reaction in the Middle East to the video the "Innocence of Muslims," which denigrated the prophet Muhammad.
Metro spokesman Dan Stessel says the system will comply with the order and the ads will go up this weekend.
The billboard is simple. It says:
“In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel, Defeat Jihad.”
On September 11th, Washington was struck by Jihad. Five Jihadists crashed a plane into the Pentagon, killing everyone on the plane and killing and injuring hundreds of others at the Pentagon.
The question is not should these ads be allowed to be run by the Washington Metro Transit Authority. The question is why AFDI had to go to court to be allowed its First Amendment rights?
In New York, AFDI had to sue to have the same billboards put in the New York subway system. Leftist groups are now putting up counter billboards, but there is one huge difference.
Because the local government supports the left wing groups, they are not being forced to sue to allow their First Amendment rights.
When it comes to free speech and these big city governments, all speech is equal. Some speech is just more equal than other speech.

This should be interesting... how many pastors actually spoke out today in defiance of Obama's intimidation efforts? Try to find their videos posted, and share them. http://www.speakupmovement.org/church/LearnMore/details/4702

It wasn't, it was a planned Al Queda strike on an unguarded building. Next, the lies that Egypt uprising and protests were due to the movie. That is a lie too, as we are finding out. It was over their demands that we release the Blind Sheik. http://beforeitsnews.com/blogging-citizen-journalism/2012/10/cnn-ex...
all these lies to curb our Free Speech, and to press the UN Agenda, signed onto by Hillary and Obama, to make blasphemy of Islam outlawed. http://factreal.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/obamas-blasphemy-law-to-protect-islam/

For a period of years after the nearby National Airport had its name changed to Reagan National Airport, the DC Metro system refused to put Reagan's name on their train station paper maps or mounted wall maps on their stations. That was political censorship.

Permalink Reply by Deanna Zohar on The fact is until Obama and Clinton tried to cover their rears by using the video it had only had a total of 300 views and had been online for 2 months. Obama and Clinton making an issue of it brought it to the attention of the Arab nations and caused the ensuing protests. You know as well as the media does that Ambassador Rice was not the first person the media contacted for answers nor was she the person the intelligence angents would speak to, it was the president and Obama, her bosses. In fact Clinton was the first to tell the people it was caused by the video and then the president repeated it at the UN Clinton's has never had to pay the laws they have broken because thye send a thrill up the media's leg Bill gave N Korea the water they needed to build ir nukes, he tried to give a active duty Chinese General and a known gun runner a US Naval base in Long Beach, CA , a port used by our Naval ships. These same people spent Christmas as the guests of the Clintons at the White House! Hillary Clinton has white water gate that they were ready to indict for but was blocked by the left.

She is a consistent and effective voice against the savages of Islam and the 7th century barbarism that is their ideology. Islam is made possible by the left in this country and is brought to you by George Soros, Peter Lewis, Barack Obama, and countless other philosophically and intellectually defective sociopaths on the left. Nice, why aren't these traitors swinging from ropes and their ideology outlawed as a hazard to civilization and human life?.
