Some cartoonists, Mr. Trudeau, have the balls to attack people who are actually dangerous.

'Doonesbury' Creator Condemns Muhammad Cartoons Posted by Greg Sheffield on October 9, 2006 - 15:10. Gary Trudeau, creator of the 'Doonesbury' comic strip, says cartoonists should draw the line when it comes to offending people. In an interview published in the Santa Barbara Independent:
Q. What did you make of the Danish cartoon mess? I understand that you said you would never play with the image of Allah. But did you feel you should have done so out of a sense of professional solidarity, or to make a statement about freedom of speech? A. What exactly would that statement be? That we can say whatever we want in the West? Everyone already knows that. So then the question becomes, should we say whatever we want? That, to me, is the crux. Do you hurt people just because you can? Because you feel they shouldn’t be deeply hurt, does that mean they aren’t? Should the New York Times run vicious caricatures of blacks and Jews just to show the First Amendment in action? At some point, common sense and sensitivity have to be brought to bear.
Give me a break!
Do you have a link and source for this?
But it's OK to offend conservatives because they're not really people?
Why no link?
"cartoonists should draw the line when it comes to offending people."
Mr Jane Pauley dispenses vital wisdom without a trace of Upper East Side hypocrisy.
Oh, what an a**. He's offended a whole lot of people, himself, but apparently that's all right; they're not islamists.
Sorry. I got it from Newsbusters.

See post #9.
What a pathetic, arrogant pipsqueak.
I wonder if he'll be able to maintain the same hautere when the jihadis are sawing his dhimmi head off with a rusty kitchen knife.
Jerk.

is this from the Onion?
Most ridiculous thing I've read all day.
Free speech for me, not for thee. The modern liberal mantra.
Of course, anyone who won't stab him to death at the first opportunity when he offends them is fair game.
Sorry, I forgot, see post #8.
