Glenn Reynolds on CNN

February 12, 2006 Posted by John at 8:07 AM

Glenn Reynolds was on CNN yesterday, discussing the Mohammed cartoons. Glenn delivered a ringing defense of free speech: "You guys have blown it," he said, by avoiding publication of the cartoons. Most of the studio audience thought the cartoons shouldn't have been published. Glenn's best moment came at the end:

My beliefs are offended when gangs of ignorant thugs burn embassies, and where is the respect for my beliefs? Do I need to burn embassies to get respect for my beliefs? Because that's the message CNN sends. The message they send is, We will reward violence. And you're going to get more of what you reward, that's how it works.

You can watch the CNN discussion at Expose the Left (formerly the Political Teen).
