I guess that depends on where you draw the line. If she says something idiotic then she deserves to be called an idiot. I have no problem with idiot. However lets not pretend this is about calling her an idiot. Why do you ingore the calls for her to be killed or raped?
Because I suspect you made it all up, and because you ignored it to, until you needed somewhere to backpedal to.
Prior to that it was all about blaming Islamophobia for your ignorance of whether her critics were also criticising other ANZAC tweets, proclaiming your ignorance of and disinterest in all the stupid things she has said and done, and accusing me of Islamophobia for reasons you appear to also be ignorant of. Apparently you think whether it "looks like Islamophobia" is a substitute for knowing what you are talking about.
So where do you draw the line? After all, this is your made-up right we are talking about. Does Yassmin have the right to not be called an idiot every time she says something stupid? What else does she have the right to not have said?

does that make sense to you FD?
No John. I agree that it is idiotic to suggest Yassmin has a right to not have things said about her. Yet that is what you are saying.
Quote:As always with Effendi, the discussion gets bogged down and a mile away from where it began.
It began with John frantically backpedaling on his claim that Yassmin has some kind of right not to be "vilified" for the stupid things she does and says, and her hysterical victimhood mongering since. It has not gone anywhere.
Quote:Is this woman stupid. No, she is not.
Did she say anything stupid. No, she did not. She did make a remark she later apologised for concerning "Lest We Forget." She had no need to apologise. Last night on Q&A, Matt Canavan said it was naughty of her to link what is identified respectfully with Australian Armed forces with bad stuff in the Land of Arabs. Rubbish. There is a clear current link.
Our Armed Forces are there right now destroying lives and turning big rocks into little rocks.
What has any of that got to do with Islamophobia?
If it was not a stupid thing to say, why did she apologise for it?
How stupid would someone have to be to misuse public money to fund their tour of the middle east to promote their new book, then take that opportunity, standing on the doorstep of the middle east's newly resurgent sex slave industry at the hands of another Islamic state, to declare to the world that Islam is the most feminist of all religions? Perhaps she thought no-one would notice?
How stupid would someone have to be to refuse to take responsibility for their tanking public image and flee the country in the middle of a drawn out session of hysterical victimhood mongering, Islamophobia blaming and general attention whoring?
