Mayor Peter Swiderski addressed a letter to the entire village of Hastings on Hudson, New York, making clear his conviction that facts which offend the sensibilities of the left must be condemned as “deplorable, hateful and morally repugnant” as they do not “reflect the ideals of [the] community or…of [the] nation.”
At issue to the mayor is an ad placed on a series of billboards in Westchester County, Metro-North stations by the American Freedom Defense Initiative. The ad states that there have been “19,250 deadly Islamic attacks since 9/11/01 and counting,” and continues on with the fact that, “It’s not Islamophobia, it’s Islamorealism.”
Oddly enough, Mayor Swiderski does not question the truth of the group’s claim. Rather, like so many dhimmis across the country, he simply finds it disgraceful to “tar a faith and its followers because of the actions of a few.” Remarkable how viciously active those “few” are, given 19,250 attacks took place even though the Mayor’s contends that “…the vast majority of believers in [Islam] (and all other) major religions, embrace peace and do not endorse the violence wrought by [those] fanatic few.”
The executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative is Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs fame. It was a series of anti-Israel billboards and kiosks that inspired Geller to begin the “Islamorealism” campaign in the Westchester Metro stations. Sponsored by Henry Clifford, co-chairman of the Committee for Peace in Israel and Palestine, the ads “… featured maps of Israel from 1946 through 2010 focusing on the expansion of Israel at the expense of Palestinians.”
Neither Mayor Swiderski nor members of the Hastings on Hudson, Board of Trustees took offense at the anti-Israel postings. Apparently none of these pillars of the Westchester community consider attacks on the Jewish state to be either “deplorable” or offensive to “the ideals of the community!”
Geller responded to claims about the inappropriate nature of her group’s advertisements by stating, “Jihadists worldwide make recruits among peaceful Muslims by portraying themselves as the exponents of true Islam. Rather than being offended by my ads, Muslims who genuinely oppose jihad should be joining me to fight against it and challenge the jihadist interpretation of Islam.” Not surprisingly, she was ignored by the left as its members pressed their attack.
“Apparently, after legal review, this ad did not qualify as hate speech and falls under First Amendment protection,” moaned Mayor Swiderski as he provided Westchester residents with the name and address of the Metro-North chairman. Beseeching his offended townspeople to complain to the chairman about Geller’s unacceptable use of her 1st Amendment rights, Swiderski made it clear his interpretation of free speech rights mirrors that of every other liberal. That is, say something with which I agree and I’ll not consult with attorneys about your despicable example of hate speech!
All in all, just another example of the true American spirit brought to us by the dhimmis of New England!

Hey Mayor Peter Swiderski, this is America, we say what we want, when we want and to who we want. You don’t like it, tough, move to some raghead country. Take that muslim boon in the White House with you when you go and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Your an idiot and if the people are smart they’ll vote your butt out of office and the sooner the better. People should start to demand recall elections when guys like you start with your unconstitutional hogwash. You friggin liberals better smarten up fast, we are sick of the likes of you, you work for us, we elect you, we don’t crown you lord and master. Get the hell out of our country with your queers, commies and raghead arabs.
WOW…………you know just how to answer these DINGBATS………and yes they are going to leave…….JUST WATCH WHAT THE LORD IS GOING TO DO TO THE WICKED ONES IN AMERICA…AND FOR THAT MATTER IN THE WORLD…The Lord can take just the BREATH away, or put an EARTHQUAKE under their important buildings, where they keep some very interesting paper work and do all their evil dealings…oh so many millions and billions of WAYS THAT OUR GOD THE LORD JESUS CHRIST can deal with the wicked…I myself can’t even comprehend what could be done…THIS IS WHY I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF THE WICKED MEN AND WOMAN…you reap JUST WHAT YOU SOW…
Yeah, leave the USA! If you don’t love it, leave it, Mayor Peter Swiderski. You just don’t want to hear or read the truth. You live a delusional life out of touch with reality. Face the facts, Swiderski!
Well said. I say they should tar and feather that mayor for starters!
“deplorable, hateful and morally repugnant”
Honorable Mayor, (gag, cough, barf)
YOUR action is all the above. I must admit though, you are an endangered species…a left winged dingbat!
Wonder if this democrat feels like he offends little babies’ sensibilities when he is standing in line with those who abort them?
I also wonder if this piece of snake-like humanity is wanting to tell vetrans who are without arms or legs and even all of their stomaches what to say, what to eat, who to like, and who to pray to and not offend those trying to take their freedoms they fought for away? I wonder if he has a megaphone over the graves in Arlington cemetery who died for America the same? I wonder when he and his bunch of less than snakes are going to try to take the very crosses off these mens’ graves? I wonder what it is going to take to let these people know that we are MAD as HELL as what they are attempting to do in this country. We know who the enemy is and it is the ones who are trying to overthrow this nation.
You can not ever trust an islamist. Throw them out now or pig fat them later.
blackyb ~ I could not have said it better!! I have been screaming since 2008, that this @#&* is a Muslim, NOT MY PRESIDENT…..WTF, is happening in America??
Where do they get these people?
The truth hurts! And I’ve never met a Democrat that was interested in the whole truth ,just their particular version af what the want you to believe is the truth. Quasi-Truths and distortion of the truth,to out and out lies.”You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth.”
As much as I blame these overly PC, lefty nutjobs, I also blame the liberals who keep electing them.
Don’t forget to include all the good Christian’s sitting on there hands not voting or doing a dang thing expecting a “pre-tribulation rapture”
Please take some time to research your topic before making asinine comments. (No offense)
Islam according to the koRan is the most violent, racist and intolerant belief system on the planet.
For proof all one has to do is some RESEARCH!
For a brief set of outlined facts research this site: http://www.hauns.com/~DCQu4E5g/koran2.html
Verse 9:123 – “Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you.”
Verse 66:9 – “Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal sternly with them. Hell shall be their home, evil their fate.”
5:17 – “Unbelievers are those who declare: ‘God is the Messiah, the son of Mary.’”
5:51 – “Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another.”
5:72 – “Unbelievers are those that say:’God is the Messiah, the son of Mary.”
Unless your a muslim, there talking about You!

People Wake Up! Islam is set on ruling the world by submission or death there is no other way.
All political correctness aside, the islamization of America MUST BE STOPPED NOW!
Crashaxe, thank You, for another link of which I can study…. I AM MAD AS HELL, I feel so frustrated that OUR words are NOT reaching the people WHO can expose this!! I DO know what is meant when a Muslim mutters; “First Saturday, then Sunday”…..
Political correctness is killing us!!!!
The Irish are always trying to drag black people into their IRA arguments, when they are the most racist, anti-black people around. Just look at terms like “Billy club” the Irish were built for brawn, not their brains. The Child abuse scandal in the Catholic church, is beyond forgiveness.
@shockandawe What thr hell do the irish have to do with what we are talking about here. Your a racist, guess your another libtard troll. And yeah I’m irish.
“Broken-back Obama” and his tired side-kick are Irish, they were in part voted in as president and vice-president on that basis. Have you heard the one about the Englishman, the Irishman and the Welshman…? In these ‘jokes’ the Irishman is always shown to be an idiot. America got what she deserved with O’Bomber and O’Burden.
Your a racist pig. You have to be a liberal. Liberals love to blame everyone of being racist by using racist remakes. Being the commie liberal you are, if you was on fire I wouldn’t even piss on you to put it out.
“Broken-back Obama” and O’Burden have promoted political speech so much, that when we try to have an honest debate about the things that affect our lives, we are callously, and unjustifiably referred to as ‘racists’. “Broken-back” and O’Burden, because of that irish dimension, will hook up with anyone (including racist, anti-white, anti-American muslims) to promote their joint causes. A bomb, here, a bomb there, it makes no difference to these types, they are the “oppressed”. Both black and white American’s have one thing in common to O’bomber, O’Burden and the muslims, they are Christans, (infidels) and are therefore a ‘legitimate target’. As for my being ‘liberal’, you have got to be kidding!
d120965… HUH? Did you eat some funny mushrooms or something? The first 4 words in your reply are, “Your [sic] a racist pig.” The poor grammar aside (it should have been you’re ~the contracted form of you are~ not your) you then go on to say that, “Liberals love to blame everyone of being racist”. Again, I excuse the grammar and point out the fact that you just called YOURSELF a Liberal! You’re a funny guy. Or should I say YOUR a funny guy? LMAO!!!
@Bandini, Maybe if you bothered to read, you would see why I called someone a racist. Laugh all you want, most here can understand what and why I said what I said. Sounds like maybe you’re some sort of an english teacher. I’m sure most people here don’t really care about mine our their grammer. The main story here is free speech, free speech means we can say as we please, good or bad grammer does not matter as long as you have the freedom to say it. Everybody watch out the grammer police are watching.
Hey, Swiderski: Why don’t you and your raghead friends…you know who they are, the Muslim Jihadists, just take the next Metro North train on into Grand Central Station, grab the next airport bus out to JFK, and get the hell out of America? On your way, grab your good friend, Bloomberg, and drag him along as well: Your kind are not wanted in the United States. Until you’ve been booted out of office, I’ll never step foot into Hastings-on-Hudson again; it used to be a pretty nice little village, until traitors like yourself managed to win a few votes from the Villagers…what did you promise the good people of Hastings: a new garbage dump?
Thank God for James Madison and his buddies who foresaw fascists like this mayor as a possibility in America’s future and made sure that free speech would be there for us to enjoy as long as America remains free.
Pamela Geller did a great job of countering the anti-Israeli ads. But now that she’s won the fight to get her own billboards on those buses, the lefties who don’t like that her first amendment rights didn’t violate their own rights in any way are destroying them. The “ads on a NYC Metro train kiosk were destroyed and defaced with this: ‘Countless acts of terrorism and violence have been committed by Christian extremists. Does this make all Christians terrorists?’” http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2012/08/islamorealism-ads-vandalized-on-nyc-metro.html Why do left wing thugs act this way, when they don’t get their own way? We should all pull a “John Galt” and leave this country for them to die in.
vote!!!
Nothing is ever inappropriate especially in politics if it is the truth.
Islam is not a religion. It is a government and dictates a religion. That is why we can’t stop them and many local governments are bending to them.
Our constitution says a government can not create a religion. As they use the guise of being a religion they bring their Sharia law and impose it on us. Our socialist government entities are falling for the ruse and handing out guilty verdicts against victims and taking away the rights of Americans.
If you immigrate to America then you leave your old culture behind as far as the law of the land is concerned. If you can’t do that then go home because you are not a true American.
Mr Mayor, You have it backwards. P.C. is not going to interfere in Our .free Speech. We also are free to express our own views without you shutting us up You need to be recalled..
Mr. Mayor if your way of thinking had prevailed the minutemen at Concord bridge should have just waved as the country was assualted . , To call Islam a reiligon of peace is to ignore history and the words of the Koran,You only have to look toEurope and Africa to prove yourself wrong.I’ve yet to hear of Christians attacking Moslems at worship while histroy and current papers prove you wrong>Ask the Coptics of Eygpt or Churchs in Barry’s homeland of Kenya,try finding a Church or even a Bible in most of the middleast!
Now the children have to have their eyes scanned and their finger-prints taken before they can have , lunch? I’d remove my child immediately! In fact, ALL the parents should remove their children from any school who distrusts and insults their kids in this way. They go to school to learn, NOT to be treated as criminals.
Hey Mayor Swiderski, what will you say if the Muslims overran Westchester county, took your wife as a sex slave, and had his way with her, then passed her around to his friends? Then for kicks and giggles, they kill you. Wherever these people go they take over and enforce Islamic law on everyone, not just Muslims. So called moderate Muslims are not following their religion, it is the zealot or radical Muslim that follows the teachings of the Koran. Do not dismiss Muslims for being harmless, they are quite the contrary, and you will find that out at your own peril. Islam means to submit. Islam is a tyrannical and brutal form of government shrouded in a “religion”.
