Some like to say that the US is becoming "fascist" and it's all over for "the land of the free". Littlegreenfootballs is a website dedicated to tracking Islamic extremism in the news. The left hates them and so do various Muslim groups.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he latest smear attack against Little Green Footballs is that the FBI is “investigating” us for “anti-Muslim speech.” Here we have Tikkun Olam moron Richard Silverstein snapping and snarling and acting as a willing tool for CAIR: FBI Investigates Anti-Muslim Hate Speech at Little Green Footballs.

" Finally, the FBI pays a visit to someone who deserves one (as opposed to the thousands of Muslim-Americans who’ve received unwanted visits from local agents since 9/11). The Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been monitoring Little Green Footballs’ comments section in which readers egg each other on to see who can spout more homicidal and hateful speech and thought against Muslims. After CAIR filed its complaints, FBI agents visited Charles Johnson twice. Here’s the little that he had to say about the incidents. I especially like the high moral dudgeon of this comment:

The premier Islamist front group is starting to go after the blogosphere, using the tools provided by our own society.

... I’d like to know what Chuck and the G-men talked about; and I’d like to find out what was the content of the LGF comments. Anyone reading this who can provide more information would be most appreciated."

This is a typical leftist attack; full of lies and invented “facts” that bear no relation to reality. (And for some reason, they always seem to think it’s the height of cleverness to call me “Chuck.”) The FBI did not “visit” me—I received two phone calls, both after CAIR filed complaints to harass LGF. The agents were very courteous, and the questions they had (about one comment that had been deleted months earlier and about some harassing emails sent without my knowledge) were handled very quickly and professionally. They were not “investigating anti-Muslim speech,” they were asking about two specific incidents that involved specific threats against one specific person—Ibrahim Hooper of CAIR. And in fact, one agent specifically told me they were not in the business of policing free speech. There is no ongoing investigation. End of story.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Miki', '2')-I have not seen a single criticism of Israel in that site. If you check the comments after their articles/news, you won't find a single one that defends Muslims or Islam or that criticizes Israel's actions and decisions. They obviously don't publish those comments. Is that the free speech that you'd like to see in the web?

[Miki]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rwwff', 'I')t is advocacy speech; and yes, that is exactly the best kind. People waddling around the net trying to be unbiased just look stupid; best to be open and forthright about purpose and bias; and LGF is absolute biased as an advocate for Israel.

[rwwff]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Miki', 'F')unny enough, a lot of US readers of LGF sincerely think the site is not biased. They think it's a good source of "the truth" that uncovers the "Muslim lies".

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')lso, you know like me that there are many *facts* that are hidden from the American public by the American MSM, and Americans would see those facts if they were exposed to other media.

You guys are all missing the point. This is not about lgf and al-jazeera. It's about how the FBI is not about trying to police free speech. It's about how Americans can still speak their minds.

Speaking of free speech did anyone catch Ted Koppel's Security vs Civil Liberties special last night on Discovery channel? Very good program with tough questions asked about Homeland Security and and just how much latitude Bush's executive powers should be.
