A running theme amoung the asshats I honor on my blog is the repeated attempts to stifle the speech of people the asshat doesn’t agree with. Few have gone to such hysterical lengths to shut someone up as our favorite paranoid islamophobic Islamic Studies professor, Denise Spellberg. First gracing this blog last August, Professor Spellberg shows all the subtlty of Sean Hannity on crack, warning editors at Random House how if they dare publish this book radical Islamists will break down the doors right now and kill them all, at the same time she was doing her best to stir the pot and warn Islamic websites about this awful book. Random House drops the book, and the author goes and finds another publisher. Official reaction from Al-Queda, “meh.”
