Oklahoma Libertarians Form Human Chain to Protect Muslims From Bigoted Tea Partiers

What, you thought they were the same thing? That's what you are supposed to think.

As Oklahoma Muslims descended on the state’s capital last week on February 27 for ‘Muslim Day’, they were met by bigoted reactionaries fearful over the supposed takeover of Sharia Law in America.

The protesters resembled ‘Tea Party’ groups and were flying American flags. One “freedom” loving American said “You don’t like our laws? Go back to where you came from.” According to the Tea Party News Network, these (protesters) included conservative groups Overpasses for America and III Percent Patriots of Oklahoma.

One woman, notorious for claiming that Monster Energy drinks are a product of the Devil, interrupted the Islamic prayer taking place inside the State Capitol.

...

But the story that isn’t being told here is the role Oklahoma Libertarians and other groups played on Muslim Day. According to witnesses, Libertarians who were supporting the event eventually had enough of the bigoted reactionaries. They spontaneously formed a human chain to make sure that Muslims would have safe passage into the capitol.

You don't need to be some sort of seer to under-stand that there are actual real concrete differences.

How much did they charge the Muslims for this service?

 

[Tom Sawyer]

Good for them. That was polite and respectful.

 

[untermensche]

The problem is these bigots and these Libertarians vote for the same Party.

 

[Jolly_Penguin]

Cool to see this.

The problem is these bigots and these Libertarians vote for the same Party.

If you say so, then it must be true in spite of the facts.

I see what you did there.

Credit where credit is due. Props to the Oklahoma Libertarians.

Props to all who organized the human chain and who participated in it:

A group of volunteers that included Libertarians but was organized by the Interfaith Alliance walked as “body guards” to shield the Muslim people entering the Capitol from the vulgar display of hate.”

They don't both vote primarily Republican?

Sure, show me the facts.

 

[TSwizzle]

LOL ! I'm sure these "libertarians" are smugly patting themselves on the back for a job well done. Facing down these knuckle dragging bigots must have been frightening.

And why the fuck does government have a "muslim" (or whatever) day anyway ?

Yeah, when I read the OP quote, "and other groups" stood out.
