My taste runs more toward pictures of Mohammad using a pooper scooper while his dog laughs at him.

I would call art... democrats gang raping Lady Liberty..
And then over charging her for the experience.. after slapping her around a bit..

And Cloward-Piven would be putting her up used, dirty and wet..
All democrats are multi colored feathered race PimPs..

NOW THATS ART...

So when does the Pope issues a Papal Decree calling on all good Catholics to do their best to kill the artist?

Big Mo IS in there!

He’s featured in the frame to the left of Abe and George at the printing press. Pictured in the Persian style—kneeling with the traditional flamin’ halo.

The Timurid-era Persians, Ottoman Turks and Chinese Muslims often depicted him, along with people and animals. Contrary to later Wahabist proscriptions.

Of course he’s not shown yanking his wankie, but still...

The best way to great this is not to even consider it as blasphemy, just to assert that the artist is “derivative” at best and more likely “cowardly”, or just “timid.” Maybe even “impotent”.

And the best part is that you don’t even need to explain why they are cowardly, because everybody knows why.

Well...now we have a pretty good idea what’s going to be on the Obama Christmas Tree ornaments this year!

...And I thought NOTHING could beat last year....

Obama’s Christmas tree graced by Chairman Mao, transvestite.

“Art or Blasphemy?”

I’m not sure about blasphemy, but it sure as heck isn’t art!

I’ve seen better “art” painted on the side of a rail road car with a spray can.

If Mohammed were part of this “art” (and I use that term VERY loosely) we’d see the real-world difference between how christians and muslims.

I wish artists would take up a genuine challenge: doing something uplifting and aesthetically pleasing that isn’t too saccharine. I’m not rich enough to be an art patron, but I’d go see it in a museum, or maybe buy a print of it.

Art that is demeaning can be produced by any middle school student. Real artists should aim higher.

On my first day at POTUS, before attending the inaugural parade, within minutes of being sworn in, I would defend and eliminate The National Endowment for the Arts.

"Art that is demeaning can be produced by any middle school student. Real artists should aim higher."

Boy did you call that right....the definition of what an artist is also needs to be defined...some things are art...others are just far beyond acceptable as art.
