Its always a sad day when someone you admire tremendously, who has entertained and challenged you for years lets you down and reveals themselves to really stand up only for themselves instead of the ideas of freedom they claim to support.
Reason Magazine highlights some deeply discouraging remarks from Penn Jillette, the libertarian co-host of the extraordinarily great Showtime show Penn and Tellers Bullsh*t:
Are there any groups you wont go after? We havent tackled Scientology because Showtime doesnt want us to. Maybe they have deals with individual ScientologistsIm not sure. And we havent tackled Islam because we have families.

Imagine you are Penn Jilette. You decide to take a stand and do a show ridiculing Islam. ... Then one day, your little daughter disappears from the schoolyard... So we must tread softly lest we incur the wrath of this guy?
Bunk.
Here's a better idea - we put the word out that anyone carrying out a fatwa against someone who "insults Islam" will be hanged with a pigskin-leather noose, and their body fed to hogs.
And do it.

There is enough risk someone will get to your kids without insulting Islam. For the pedophiles, gang-bangers who murder, Islamic terrorists (for that matter the whole goddamned bunch), etc. they
will be hanged with a pigskin-leather noose, and their body fed to hogs.For all those too squeamish to do the job, PLEASE pick me.

I neglected to mention the first time around ... we should keep in mind the example set by
Gen. Sir Charles Napier regarding the charming Indian practice of suttee.

I don’t suppose you followed my link at #64? I lived in Egypt in the early ‘80’s. Took a long hard look at this “religion” and its practitioners.
I said it before we went (back) to Iraq. WE DO NOT OWE THESE PEOPLE ANYTHING.

Someone on Free Republic once said You probably dont think you need a belt feed automatic weapon, but you really do. I read once that the Branch Davidians in Waco were accused of having anti-tank weapons. Given that they were attacked and a bunch of them burned to death by tanks I'd say the ATF and the FBI made the case that people need anti-tank weapons.

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard an intelligent utterance spew forth from Penn Jilette’s mouth.
