Robert Spencer at the YAF

Yesterday we noted that CAIR was trying to shutdown Robert Spencer’s speech to the Young Americas Foundation (YAF) scheduled for today.

Well, they have failed miserably. Michelle Malkin is covering the speech. Check it out. Here’s a sample from the beginning of Spencer’s speech:

Robert Spencer: They say in the letter that I am a well-known purveyor of hate…with a history of false and defamatory statement…but they do not manage to quote any…this is a common tactic…instructive lesson in bully-boy tactics…that is, to accuse every critic of purveying hatred and bigotry…everyone, no matter what…it’s good to see that you are not intimidated. I am not intimidated…so I’m here to tell you about the Truth about CAIR…

Can they really sue you for telling the truth?

…CAIR is highly successful…Law enforcement officials have received sensitivity training from the group…Mainstream media [has embraced]…There’s another side…it’s a side everyone needs to know about…

“CAIR is unusual in its extreme rhetoric and association with those who are suspect”…I’d like to say to CAIR’s lawyers that that’s not my statement. It was said by
Rep. Richard Durbin.

“CAIR has ties to terrorism…”

That was Rep. Charles Schumer.

“…nothing more than a apologist for groups bent on destroying Israel…”

That was Republican Rep. Bill Shuster.

Spencer reads from NYSun’s report on CAIR being named as unindicted co-conspirator in Hamas funding case.

There’s lots more at Michelle’s site. Read it all here.
