The whiny babies, er, special snowflakes, er, employees of the liberal “think tank” (using the word “think” loosely here)
were very upset at the prospect of meeting someone, or even being in the same building as someone who does not think exactly the way they do.
So they did what Libs do when they get upset:
They threw a temper tantrum:
Via Weekly Standard:
The Center for American Progress (CAP), one of the largest and most influential liberal think tanks in Washington, recently extended an invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He spoke there yesterday, and the New York Times write-up notes that Netanyahu “project[ed] a benevolent tone even as he countered criticism of his approach to resolving the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.”
And yet, in the run-up to Netanyahu’s speech, a number of CAP employees objected to his appearance because, well, they think he’s a bad man and it seems they don’t like being exposed to ideas that differ from their own. At a meeting on Friday, some staffers read aloud a statement objecting to Netanyahu’s appearance.
The poor things are being totally traumatized by Bibi:
Coming to work at CAP gives many of us the opportunity to make this country safe and accepting of all. While we watch the hate crimes, discrimination and biases faced by some of our communities, we come to work every day proud that this institution is a space where our voices will be respected and where our leadership assures we feel safe, respected and heard. In that sense this place isn’t so much a job or a profession or a nine-to-six. It’s a survival tactic. But it’s not just about our individual struggles because, in the words of MLK, we’re not free until we’re all free.
And at CAP we are a family. We spend more hours with one another at this institution than we do with our own families and friends outside the office. It is imperative that we feel confident in this building to improve the lives of all Americans, and essentially to work on getting us all free. It becomes difficult to step outside of our building and say to our allies why this visit is happening, for some of us here we ourselves feel that we were not considered in that decision….
So what comes next? What happens when we come back to work on Thursday Nov. 12? What is the Center for Americans Progress to the people whose lived experiences Netanyahu’s policies directly impact? How do we face our communities with answers?
….Again, we are appreciative of this institution, and the opportunity to speak out because this is a family and right now as members of the CAP family we are in a place of confusion and hurt….

Then they drink their brains out and head out to soak up the latest in violence and debauchery from Hollywood.
One of these days I’m going to catch whoever is slipping me hallucinogenics. The things I hear and see in recent times cannot be real. I need a safe space.

Right about now, the people in Paris are desperately scrambling to find safe space. This highlights the subtle distinction, often missed by liberals, between “microaggression” and mass murder.
Since these CAP staff quote MLK, here are some other MLK quotes (from the web).
“Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
“The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.”
These people would put MLK into Birmingham Jail but not let him write his Letter.
Shifra, they ARE special, but they are not made of snow – they’re just special flakes. The special CAP Flakes seem not to fathom the concept that America in fact should NOT be a “country safe and accepting of all.” Some things are vile, are evil, are dangerous and should be eschewed by a nation run even by feeble-minded do-gooder lefty-loosey nitwits. It is a consolation to me, though, that America’s Special CAP Flakes are hard at work — as busy as little termites destroying a structure’s underpinnings — “getting us all free” even as they build Big Government on the banks of Mordor on the Potomac.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie,
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
Guessing these same morons would declare that they’d love to have been able to interview Adolf Hitler back-in-the-day.
Legacy media supported Hollande earlier this year when he said that there were no No Go Zones.
Prayers for France.
Apparently, safe space in Paris was at a premium tonite…A rare moment when Jerusalem was safer.
