Are You One of the Atholes Offended by a Cartoon? Then What Are You Doing Here?
There are plenty of left wing and Muslim insane asylums where such perpetually offended atholes would feel more at home than at this blog. Cartoon riots are common in the Muslim world, and now under Barak Obama we are seeing cartoon riots in the US. Do these morons actually believe that they have the right not to be offended?In protests this week, students at a New York college urged boycotts, began burning newspapers (a hop, skip and jump away from burning books) and demanding that anyone involved with the cartoon be fired. Fair enough.The war against free speech has been on ever since the leftists took over the university. Leftist faculty and staff prevent non-leftists from speaking on campus. Leftist professors prevent non-leftist academics from obtaining tenure, and give non-leftist students poor grades if they dare to contradict the professor's viewpoint. These academic indoctrination camps have been going full steam for decades now.
But now the Reverend Al has ordered a meeting with the Federal Communications Commission so he — a man who has set off more chaos, loathing and racism in New York than any cartoonist — can discuss the ownership of The New York Post. The FCC, according to Sharpton, has acquiesced to meet in Washington.
As an antiquated government entity, the FCC controls the public airwaves and ownership of media companies. What if it meets with Sharpton and then moves against the New York Post's owner?
We've largely avoided the corrosive trend of chilling free speech — though discussions about the "Fairness Doctrine" (and its derivatives), which allows government to dictate what opinions Americans should hear on the public airwaves, remains a hobbyhorse for some lefties.
...Recently, Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician who produced the film "Fitna" — which asserts that Islam is a threat to enlightened Western values — was refused entry into England because of that nation's policy to "stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages."
The Brits proved Wilders' point about Islam's influence by suppressing his right to free expression. Wilders, who is in the U.S. right now, offers a cautionary lesson: Feel free to be indignant and hurt. Feel free to boycott and to cast nasty aspersions on the decency of those who offend you. But let's keep government out of it.
The war against offensive speech can, if we're not careful, morph into a war against free speech. _DenverPost_via_Instapundit
Under D'oh-bama is it so surprising that the war against free speech would escalate to take in the entire news and entertainment media, all of popular culture, and every aspect of public (and soon private) life in America?
So if you are offended by a cartoon that makes fun of Nancy Pelosi, and takes crude advantage of a real life "chimp gone mad" that had to be put down, then go ahead and be offended, athole. But do it somewhere else.

I am offended that the cartoon is in black and white. All pixels of all parts of the spectrum should be equally represented.
And the cop who shot the cartoon gun has a head/neck which looks like an elbow. Frankly I think that this does a disservice to all the elbow-headed people who contribute to all aspects of society by portraying them as weak chinned and trigger happy.
But seriously, to extract the ridiculous meanings out of this comic that the usual suspects have done would be truly evidence of insanity if it were not so obviously motivated by a desire to slander one of the few papers that actually attempts to be something other than a sycophantic cult publication for the Marxist/Islamist sect.
I know it's nothing novel to point this out, but this excerpt is so Orwellian that it is almost beyond parody. Except, of course, it's real:
Recently, Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician who produced the film "Fitna" — which asserts that Islam is a threat to enlightened Western values — was refused entry into England because of that nation's policy to "stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages."
Baron, they may have pulled the trigger too soon. A lot of Americans have been giving D'oh-bama and his supporters the benefit of the doubt, waiting to see what they will do.
It is becoming ever more clear that D'oh-bama and his teeming zombie hordes are chomping at the bit to completely re-make America in their own image. Once the majority of Americans understand what is happening, a formidable opposition to the radicalisation will form.
