Fox News Houston: Hyatt Hotel Cancels Tea Party Event featuring Pamela Geller

On Tuesday night Geller had an extra message for her supporters: "boycott" the Hyatt Place Houston Sugar Land hotel for canceling the tea party's reservation there. "I think it's reprehensible, the restriction of free speech, because that's what we're talking about," Geller said. Geller is a longtime critic of Muslim causes. She's been accused of promoting Islamophobia and Muslim hate speech on her blog and at events. "I think she's telling the truth," said Bill Moore, the Sugar Land Tea Party president. Moore believes the hotel succumbed to pressure. "I think we're seeing this more and more in America, our freedom of speech being oppressed," he said. Jamie Zimmerman, a Hyatt representative, issued the following statement: "Hyatt Place Houston/Sugar Land respects the various opinions expressed by our guests and visitors. In this particular situation, the changing security needs required for the safety of our guests and others on the hotel property and to avoid business disruption prompted us to ask the organizers to move it to an alternate location. We are pleased that the organizers were able to identify a venue better equipped to provide services to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved with the event."

So they support "diversity" when they protest against the speech of the "minority." lol They are so full of shit!

If I believed these people contructed these thoughts themselves it would be a sad example of human filth, good thing I know these thoughts were manufactured by evil anti-American front groups like CAIR Code Pink and the Tides foundation. They don't even make sense. It is creepy how slippery these freaks are.

To the Obamabots Geller is guilty of 'thought crimes' and the leftists will use any and all tactics to silence her. They can't compete with Geller in a conversation or discussion of ideas so they just try to prevent any conversation at all.

In America? Cowardly businesses continue to deny Americans their right to assemble! Succumbing to the whims of Bigoted, Racist, Hateful and Intolerant Socialists and Muslims!

Man te protestors need to get their head examined.. the Tea Party had to move because Hyatt said because of "NEW SECURITY MEASURES NEEDED" ahh WHY?? because the "sweet loving adorable peaceful, kind, compassionate' open minded" MUSLIMS were THREATENING with VIOLENCE!! The VERY thing that Geller is talking about!! Those whackos out there protesting the Tea Party would be the ones wanting to kill Paul Revere!!. They are going to get Americans killed.
