Racial insults are protected by the first amendment? Nice.

[Hoya Destroyer]

Isnt this ad just calling Jihadists "Savages", not Palestinians?

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Really? San Fran has been teleported to Alabama or something?

 

[el retorno]

The ad doesn't only call "enemies" of Israel savages it seems to call all Palestinians savages seeing how their not all "enemies" of Israel.

Not everything, you can't yell fire in a crowded theater or directly incite imminent lawless action.

They've gone so far to the left they came out on the right.

De-humanizing a whole group to make a political point is not a good idea. They could have pointed out the dangers of religious fundamental zealots without such a blunt statement that is devoid of nuance. Then again, that might have gotten people to realize that the religious zealotry is rampant on both parties.

Lets put our offensive ad on SAN FRANCISCO buses to maximize outrage and get free media exposure.

Muni Not Taking Down Controversial ‘Jihad’ Ads On SF Buses

San Francisco’s Municipal Railway said it won’t be removing controversial ads from its buses, but will instead give ad revenue to the Human Rights Commission.

Muni officials spoke on Wednesday, addressing the ads purchased by the American Freedom Defense Initiative that contains a message that has been called “anti-Islam” by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

The organization, called a hate group by the ADL is run by Pamela Gellar and Robert Spencer who purchased the ads that say, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel, defeat Jihad.”

Tom Nolan, the president of the Transportation Board finds the ads offensive but said removing them could cause other problems.

“What could happen here if we take them all down [is] we could be taken to court and [there] would be a big cost associated with that and we could be forced— I guess like New York, to put them back up anyway,” Nolan said.

These ads only cost $3,400; calling people savages, priceless.

How is it that Dallas has the common sense not to allow political or religious advertising on it's public transportation but a city like SF does?

Dallas > San Francisco

edit: Holy shit, anyone actually looked at Pamela Geller's website?
