I wonder what Mr. Obama had to say about works of “art” like “Piss Christ” and the “painting” of the Virgin Mary made from excrement...

My guess is he did not have any “questions about the judgment” of producing those.

Those were free speech donchaknow.

Have to be protected at all costs. ACLU will jump right in if you want to display "art" like that and anyone raises so much as a peep in protest.

It'll be interesting to see how the ACLU reacts to this one. Yes, I know the 'A' stands for "American." They'll probably wrap themselves in our flag if anyone asks them. Which won't happen.

But they have to be readying their contingency plans for when a Charlie Hebdo happens here.

My bet: they define mass murder as "a form of speech or political expression" and side with the shooters

I think it is hard to argue with anyone who said that these cartoons might be inflammatory. Obviously true.

Just as obvious—offended Muzzies are entirely different creatures than offended Christians.

I think the families of those killed might be wondering whether publishing those cartoons was worth dying for.

There are a lot of crazy Muzzies out there. It’s dangerous to publish materials offensive to them. It’s wrong, but there’s no good in denying it. The crazy Muzzies take their religion far too seriously. I think they have nothing else to make them feel worthwhile.
