But I'm told that Geller is so much worse because she targets only one group - iow, she's picking on religious people so it's not fair.

The people who want certain kinds of speech banned are clueless, claiming provocation is "incitement" because someone went off the deep end and shot at a hate group.

Incitement is encouraging your followers to commit violent acts.

You don't get to shoot at the person who hurt your fee fees and then have them arrested for provoking you. That's not incitement, it's a severe lack of coping skills.

Why is that so hard for some to understand?
