Whaddaya know? MMFA's just a tad inconsistent in their calls for condemnation

That’s Media Matters’ philosophy, and they’re stickin’ to it!

Well, well, well …

Rush Limbaugh compared marriage equality to pedophilia Monday, now a Republican Senator refuses to condemn the remarks: http://t.co/f8hudzAP

Fast-forward a couple of years to this:

Fact check: Muslim leaders ARE condemning the Charlie Hebdo terror attack–even though they shouldn't have to: http://t.co/GZGRiR7ojX

No, there’s no law that says Muslim leaders must condemn the attacks. But surely if you expect Republican politicians to condemn remarks made by a talk radio host, it’s not so unreasonable to suggest that leaders condemn murders committed in the name of their religion.

@mmfa They kinda do have to.

@mmfa And why should they not? Everyone should. Muslims should also stand up for free speech and the right to offend.

@mmfa Of course they "have to". Moderates must stop the extremists by ostracizing & criticizing them. We can't do it with bombs & bullets.
