		<description>First of all, Trudeau is a lousy cartoonist. He admitted the strange symbols, like a Trojan helmet for Bush, are due to his inability to render a likeness of anyone, and his look alike characters flow from the same lack of talent. Mallard Fillmore is consistently funnier and better drawn political strip than Dingleberry, with it&#039;s oh-so-dry, no punchline &quot;humor.&quot;
 Trudeau is the archetypical liberal, mad at the mean old military like some bratty child who hates his parents for not letting him play on a busy street. He and Jane Pauley wake up every morning in their mansion, having slept in safety thanks to a military which endeavors to protect even ingrateful, self-righteous, pompous asses. Everyone is stupid but him, in his mind.
  His despicable listing of American war casualties in his &quot;comic&quot; strip, shows he is as cruel as he is demented. He&#039;s so leftist, had Kerry won, we&#039;d be hearing nothing from him regarding the Iraq/Afghanistan campaigns, which would still be going on.
  Limousine liberal all the way.</description>

		<description>Trudeau is a &lt;strong&gt;LIAR&lt;/strong&gt;, a &lt;strong&gt;FOOL&lt;/strong&gt;, and a &lt;strong&gt;COWARD&lt;/strong&gt;.

POINT ONE:  he &lt;strong&gt;lies&lt;/strong&gt; about the content and meaning and actual images of the 12 Danish, mainly &lt;em&gt;self-satirizing &lt;/em&gt;POLITICAL CARTOONS.

They were &lt;strong&gt;not &lt;/strong&gt;done &lt;em&gt;to offend Muslims&lt;/em&gt;, but to mock the cowardice of the tiny Danish illustration world, and berate Danish testicular fortitude in general.  All because a children&#039;s book author tried and failed to find ONE Dane artist willing to risk Islamic reprisals and illustrate a juvenile &quot;Life of Mohammad&quot;.

Trudeau slanders his fellow cartoonists.  Either from ignorance, or malice.

POINT TWO:

He expects his lies to go unchallenged.  A Moron.

POINT THREE:

He somehow thinks an audience &lt;em&gt;sophisticated&lt;/em&gt; to grasp his cartoon metaphors will not see through this flim-flam, jibber-jabber, tap-dance castrato falderol &lt;strong&gt;-posing as tolerance and respect and &lt;em&gt;noblesse oblige&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;

When we know it is the &lt;em&gt;Chicken Dance&lt;/em&gt;.  A step done by once-respectable newspapers and t.v. stations everywhere.

&lt;strong&gt;The OEDIPUS Press.&lt;/strong&gt;  &lt;em&gt;Who blind themselves rather than face the fearful&lt;/em&gt;.

With Gary as their official Cartoonist -&lt;em&gt;without portfolio&lt;/em&gt;, of course.

And honorary Court Eunuch.

&lt;strong&gt;ALLAH NEWS THATS FIT TO PRINT.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;“Muslims have noted with concern that the &lt;b&gt;values of tolerance&lt;/b&gt; are &lt;i&gt;eroding and there is now shrinking space for others’ religious, social and cultural values in the West&lt;/i&gt;,” said a statement sent to Reuters by the Jeddah-based OIC, the world’s largest Islamic grouping.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And there you have it... a Muslim spokesman is ultimately the one who - unwittingly - spills the blunt truth to the whole world.</description>

		<description>Summing up the position of editorial cartoonists like Trudeau, from &quot;Drawn To Extremes&quot; by Chris Lamb:
&quot;If you don&#039;t cross the line occasionally, you forget where it is. Too many of us censor ourselves, and I think it&#039;s a far worse sin to self-censor than to cross the line occasionally.&quot;
Steve Benson, cartoonist for the Arizona Republic, revealed the mindset of the overwhelmingly left-leaning contingent of editorial cartoonists, including Ted Rall, Clay Bennett, and Trudeau.  This statement in defense of free speech and the right to caricature just about anything came before the Mohammad cartoon flap.  The book was published in 2004, and highlights the &quot;censorship&quot; of those lefty cartoonists who took on the administration after 9/11.  To them &quot;censorship&quot; consists of any speech that criticizes their delicate cartoon sensibilities.  Trudeau, though, inadvertently reveals the double standard when coming to the &quot;sensibilities&quot; of the victims, in this case offended Muslims:
&quot;So then the question becomes, should we say whatever we want? That, to me, is the crux. Do you hurt people just because you can?&quot;
They apparently have no problem applying this to anything conservative/patriotic, hypocritically invoking the desire &quot;not to offend&quot; those who might actually pose a danger to them.  Right-wingers and conservatives? Censors, deserving of scorn and attack. Muslims and their opinion on big Mo&#039;? Victims, deserving of self-censorship and understanding.</description>

		<description>AP,

Granted it&#039;s a wonder the Jihadists can talk about the value of tolerance without bursting into sustained, maniacal laughter. And Trudeau is the Keith Oblermann of editorial cartoonists. I&#039;d rather be waterboarded than defend him, which makes what I&#039;m about to say personally painful.

Things like the Martin Amis quote go a bit beyond sticking it to the mullahs. The Conrad quote within the quote is pure atheist agitprop. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

Now I get that for you and Amis this comes down to some kind of reason vs. religion showdown. But you should realize that when you break things into those categories, you&#039;re essentially lumping everyone who isn&#039;t an agnostic in with the mullahs. I don&#039;t think it&#039;s quite that simple. And I didn&#039;t think you did either, but that&#039;s sort of how it comes across here.

Again, Trudeau is an twit. But if the problem with his comment is that he&#039;s too deferential to &quot;religion&quot; (as opposed to being too deferential to the ROP), then I guess I&#039;m with the twit on this one.</description>

<p>Now I get that for you and Amis this comes down to some kind of reason vs. religion showdown. But you should realize that when you break things into those categories, you&#8217;re essentially lumping everyone who isn&#8217;t an agnostic in with the mullahs. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s quite that simple. And I didn&#8217;t think you did either, but that&#8217;s sort of how it comes across here.</p>
<p>Again, Trudeau is an twit. But if the problem with his comment is that he&#8217;s too deferential to &#8220;religion&#8221; (as opposed to being too deferential to the ROP), then I guess I&#8217;m with the twit on this one.</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And there you have it, from a body representing some of the most fascistically intolerant cultures on the face of the earth. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

C&#039;mon AP, we are the only ones that are capable of being intolerant - these rules don&#039;t apply to anybody else.  Also, and more specifically, inside the U.S. the only true intolerant ones are the conservatives.  So show some tolerance, man.</description>

		<description>&quot;Should we say whatever we want?&quot;
Well, Mr. Trudeau, that never stopped you before. 
Oh! Excuse me! Insulting my values has never mattered because I would not call for his death.</description>

		<description>He a really &lt;a href=&quot;http://images.ucomics.com/comics/db/2006/db060520.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;tolerant&lt;/a&gt; guy ain&#039;t he? Lets seem him print &quot;pbuh Dammit&quot;. I guess it&#039;s okay to use the Catholic prayer ending in an offensive way, let&#039;s see if he antes up and uses the Ilamic prayer ending whilest defaming it. I&#039;m tired of all the lefty&#039;s religious hypocrisy.</description>

		<description>And then of course the equation of mostly-neutral portraits of Muhammed with &quot;vicious caricatures&quot; of races.  That&#039;s been a popular disingenuous comparison.  The only ones that were at all critical were critical of terrorism--it would be like Trudeau&#039;s satires of, say, creationists&#039; attitiude toward science being taken as &quot;vicious caricatures&quot; of Christians per se.  

As for Trudeau&#039;s first pompous question--what statement did the cartoons make--he answered it backwards himself: you no longer &lt;em&gt;can&lt;/em&gt; say whatever you want in the West.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ft.com/cms/s/c4ac4a74-570f-11db-9110-0000779e2340.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here&#039;s another version&lt;/a&gt; of the answer.</description>

		<description>I wonder if someone handy with pen-and-ink or Photoshop could arrange to change G. B. Trudeau&#039;s mind about making images of Mohammed.  Word on the street is that Mohammed is intensely desirous of appearing to Mike Doonesbury in a dream--and self-detonating.</description>
