Stand with Patterico, Aaron, and free speech

It’s “Everybody Blog About Brett Kimberlin Day” and, judging by the boss emeritus’s amazing link round-up, pretty much everybody has. In the unlikely event that you missed it elsewhere, go read Patterico’s heart-stopping post on what he’s been through over the past 11 months. And then, if you can take any more, read Aaron Worthing’s chronicle of his own waking nightmare. They’re not the only ones in the crosshairs, either: Stacy McCain had to flee his home to protect his family, an ordeal he described to John Hawkins. This bit from the same interview is tantalizing:
That a person like this should be entrusted as the director of a 501c3 non-profit boggles the mind…
Sources have told me that Capitol Hill staffers have been briefed about the background on the Kimberlin case. By the way, these briefings happened before I had ever heard of Brett Kimberlin. People have been looking at this for a long time and trying to figure out, you know, what’s going on here.
I can’t believe that the legal system could have failed so badly that Aaron, an attorney, and Pat, a deputy D.A.(!), were left with no recourse but to plead for help publicly in desperation. Yet here we are. Now that Glenn Beck and his megaphone are broadcasting about this, maybe that’ll change. Whatever happens now, the cops can’t say they didn’t know.
Go piece through Michelle’s link round-up up top. And give what you can at the National Bloggers Club to make this horror movie a tiny bit better for the people involved.

What? Muslim extremists don’t have a sense of humor?
News to me…

Wasn’t it the US Embassy in Cairo, which began the “we’re so sorry about the anti-muslim film” excuse first? You know, the one that our dear leader and his cohorts used as an excuse to arrest Nakoula Basseley Nakoula?

Get with the progressive ideal no culture is better than another one so the entire idea of human rights is a sham.

Blithering idiots.
They have no idea what they’re doing, and wind up doing the worst possible thing: Projecting both incompetence and weakness simultaneously.

The MoBro are the REB’s people, you can’t mess with them.

I realize the purpose of The Daily Show, but it’s pretty clear that even behind the jokes, they simply don’t get it. But, of course, they likely all voted for Barack, so intelligence isn’t something I’d highlight as a strong point among the TDS viewership.
Or the US Embassy.

As gutless as Morsi. Obama’s grand Middle East strategy in action. What courage! What boldness! All this from that purported multi-dimensional chess player.
Pahhh, what a clueless, idiotic clown.

Seems to me that we have had an inordinate amount of “glitches” since, oh, around Jan 2009.

I appreciate Jon Stewart because while a liberal, he is true to his convictions. I don’t appreciate the U.S. Embassay in Egypt because they are cowards.

Agree. Note how the audience cheers as Jon Stewart’s graphics put a jail around the Fox-News building because they insulted the president.
Also, Stewart doesn’t realize that the Egyptian government is Islamist and it likely is an offence to criticize Islam. Doesn’t he follow the news at all?
