CNN publishes offensive art (to Christians) VANITY
CNN ^ | March 2000 | Me

Posted on 02/15/2006 2:08:39 AM PST by Bon mots

In March 2000, CNN showed a picture of the Virgin Mary made out of dung and vaginas:

http://archives.cnn.com/2000/STYLE/arts/03/27/museum.flap/index.html
Right there on CNN’s website you have a picture of "The Holy Virgin Mary" by British artist Chris Ofili. He used elephant dung and images of female genitalia in that ‘work’.

This garbage posing as ‘art’ was deemed offensive to Christians. CNN had no qualms about showing it and offending Christians. It has remained on their web site until today. Nearly five years now.

In fact, if you click on the link above, you will see this ‘work’ - still proudly displayed on CNN’s website.

Now the violent Muslims are rampaging and burning things - again - about a few cartoons, and CNN says, “CNN has chosen to not show the cartoons out of respect for Islam.”

Hypocrisy?
Do not trust the MSM.

I am posting this as a vanity, because I think that this double-standard needs to be called for what it is.

Here, in black and white, is proof-positive of what many of us have been saying. All one need do is follow the two links:

Dung Madonna

Kowtowing to Muslims

Messianic Complex is a psychological state in which the individual believes him/herself to be the saviour of the world.

The term is also used to describe the mindset of 1st Century Palestinians who believed the coming of the Messiah to be imminent.

I think we need to collect all media outlets that printed/ published picture(s) that were offensive to the Christians, but were hiding behind free-speech argument when they're protested. Then, send them the copies of their print (plus their answers) if any, and demand that they print the Muhammad cartoons.

The difference Bon mots is that the chances are very slim that an angry mob of Christians will drag them out of their offices and murder them for showing these images.

With the sons of mohamet however, the chances are very good that they stand a significant chance of their lives coming to an abrupt and violent end.

It's not about cartoons at all. Islam wants to start the war of cultures, before the information age reaches it's brainwashed minions, and weakens it's adherents. As far as media goes, they are cowards. They are more than willing to sell out our freedom, and have been doing so for decades. Islam isn't much different than the communism they support. They will do anything to weaken and destroy our way of life, even if it costs them a little. They will not stop attacking Chrstianity, because they know Christians won't take to the streets.

I think the war of cultures has already started my friend.

And as far as the legacy media goes, their a bunch of pansies IMO. Oh, they'll talk a great game about freedom of the press, and how important it is that even offensive speech be protected, but once their lazy behinds are in the crosshairs....fuggetaboudit.

They're your classic bullies. They'll only pick on something that they're darn sure isn't going to pick back at them.

So, conservatives, Christians, straight people, standard two parent families, home-schoolers and the like are all fair game. But when it comes to a bunch of bearded fanatics who aren't afraid to kill people who 'insult' them all that 'courage' goes right under the bus.

Like I said. Pansies, the whole lot of them.

Since there are no Christian theocracies CNN has lucrative contracts with, Christianity is fair game.

Also CNN does not have to worry about Christian leaders calling for "Crusades" against CNN employees.

CNN sure seems to be all in favor of the "high horse" when it suits them...

But know that if they thought that their rating would improve, that they would do anything, and I mean anything.

Christians don't behead your reporters and burn down or blow up your offices. It is safe to insult them. Case closed.

That was my point.
Too bad stories like this never grow legs.

If you ever get a job at CNN you have to pass the I Hate Bush exam and have the complete set of Jane 'Hanoi' Fonda workout tapes!
