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."
