The only part worth pointing out is the delicious irony: the liberals fall over themselves defending the absolutely anti-liberal. Modern Islam is anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-free speech, anti-abortion, anti-religious freedom … it is, in a sentence, the absolute embodiment of everything that liberals SHOULD be oppossed to.

But they’re either too stupid to say so … or too scared.

You missed by a very small margin. The reason the socialists aren’t anti-muslim is because they are SO VERY anti-Christian, that any view which opposes Christianity becomes popular with them. There really is no other way to reconcile the pro-abort, pro-feminist, pro-gay crowd with islam except through a common enemy.

I don’t buy Bush as the common enemy. Everything liberals tend to stand for is completely at odds with pretty much everything Islam teaches morality-wise. By that notion, you would think that muslim extremists would prefer a President Bush to a President Clinton.

Here’s the deal. Muslims know that they can force their way into our society if “tolerant” liberals are in charge, and that it will be much harder if conservatives, who still by a large majority claim Christianity, are in charge.

or because we’re against Islamofascists, they instinctively, and without thinking, must be for them…

Ah – now there’s an interesting point.

Islamists are obvious against everything liberals pretend to support …. but President Bush is the Islamist’s enemy.

So what does a liberal do? Who is the real enemy to them?

Good point. It appears that literally ANYBODY opposed to Bush, is the enemy of the modern neo-lib. It’s funny they bring up Hitler so much …. does anybody really think that if Hitler were alive today, and opposed to Bush and/or America, that liberals wouldn’t just love him to pieces …?

In other words, Modern Islam is anti-liberal. Oh, the irony and the blindness of the Left.

But they’re either too stupid to say so … or too scared.

…or because we’re against Islamofascists, they instinctively, and without thinking, must be for them…

I wonder what the outcome would have been if it were a chocolate, crucified Kos or Goracle? Or better yet, a Michael Moron or Kucinich? They’d go nuts and burn even MORE flags! There’d be hell to pay!

I’m a professional artist–maybe I’ll make a big ol crucified Darwin. Hmmmm…

robblefarian on March 31, 2007 at 7:36 PM

Crucified Darwin, okay. But Goracle? That’s just crossing a line, man. He’s a saint.

Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.

Really, at this point, what else is there to add?

OK, the idea is this: A statue or painting of Mohammad. He’s wearing a suicide bomber belt, and cutting his own head off with a scimitar. The title would be “The Uses of Religion.” Ideally it should be done in the style of Renaissance religious art.

Although I somehow think they will take the auction down within… say thirty minutes…

April Fools?

ust how ignorant is this woman? She must know that Islam forbids depictions of its Prophet, while Christianity has no such restrictions on artistic representation of Jesus. Right?

Christianity forbade homosexuality and adultery so I wonder if this moonbat does not support homosexual rights and holds Clinton responsible for his adulterous relations as president. Somehow I doubt that this moonbat really denounces the homosexuals or Clinton for their immoral behavior and doesn’t support the Boy Scouts in their fight to keep homosexual scoutmasters out of scouting.

Hypocrite, thy name is Kossack.

Shocked by this, I am not.

Spurius Ligustinus on April 1, 2007 at 10:38 AM

That’s very interesting and like most truths like this, I try to recognize it in myself so I can make improvements. I suspect that my absolute disgust (and by extension the foul words I use to describe them) for KOS et al, belays my fear that conservatives will turn on each other and the the liberals politics will actually take over this country if Hillary or some other liberal is elected as POTUS. I go through stages of rational discourse and frothing anger. I am in the frothing anger stage right now and I know exactly what set it off. After reading your comment, I feel I can get back to being calm and rational.

Great post and I thank you.

Those ‘voting’ choices on MM are too precious. This person probably feels proud to have come up with them…yeah, kiss your fingers, then touch each of your cheeks – great work!

Entelechy on April 1, 2007 at 1:29 AM

Yeah, definitely into “when did you stop beating your wife” territory. Might as well have taken it all the way:

THE NEW DAILY KOS POLL

Michelle Malkin stopped beating her spouse:

o During her latest out-of-town trip (but the beatings will resume when she gets home)
o The day her broomstick shattered (but a stronger one made of titanium is on order)
o Ash Wednesday (gave it up for Lent but beatings will resume after Easter – you know how seriously those Jesus freaks take their religion)
o Never (because Malkin is an ignorant, angry right-wing attention whore)

I’m expecting this (or one like it) any day now.

The case in point is another example of what I’d call “avoidance mechanisms” but which Dr. Sanity (http://drsaninity.blogspot.com) refers to as “displacement” – redirecting one’s intense emotions of fear and anger away from their true source (which might hurt them if confronted) toward someone or something less threatening.

Kowtowing to Islamist “sensibilities” while mocking Christianity is a perfect example. Standing up to those who would impose a new Dark Age upon us all entails real risk of physical harm or death; slapping Christians around is easy and entails no risk at all save for being included in somebody’s prayers.

The problem with displacement is that it’s like putting a band-aid on a malignant melanoma or rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic: it offers a false sense of security and control, but does nothing to address the real problem and in fact makes the problem worse by letting it continue to grow without taking any kind of constructive action against it.

Bashing Christians and Michelle Malkin similarly offers a false sense of control, security and moral superiority, but does nothing to address the fact that Islamism is a real and growing danger.

Putting aside the psychological connotations in favor of what we lay people better understand, the critical distinction that the Kossites don’t make is that between courage and cowardice.

People like the Kos Kidz are – rightly – mortified by the menace of Islamism. But because they won’t face their fear, and instead wallow in petty and destructive avoidance mechanisms, they let their fear direct their actions. That is the essence of cowardice.

Courage would be to face the real danger, to overcome the fear instead of redirecting it at others.

It’s a distinction that some liberals eventually learn, but which many, many more never figure out.

Bryan on March 31, 2007 at 7:32 PM

That has been our mistake Bryan! Why didn’t we see this before? We simply need to band together as Christians and make it clear that we will behead all those who make fun of Christ. That will stop them! Right? I mean that threat is what makes it alright to demand no depictions of Christ!

Good grief! Seriously. Do these people not see the irony here?

My wife will not wear a crucifix because of this. I’m no biblical scholar (not even a very good Christian, to be honest) so maybe someone can elaborate on this. Or maybe I’m just way off base hear.

robblefarian on March 31, 2007 at 5:31 PM

Well, the depiction of Christ on the cross
is neither a “craven image” or “a false Idol.”

Screw them!

Sloganized concepts like this are much easier to use than actual thought.

Exit question: Am I giving this moron way too much credit in thinking he cares if they’re self-censoring out of fear instead of “tolerance”?

I just don’t like the exit questions AP. If that pisses you off, then you care too much, if you disregard, you’re just annoyed with stupidity.

What’s his name?

Kos?

Truly only morons would regularly read his, respond to, and agree with the content of his blog site. Who else could tolerate such idiocy?

William

I promise to shield all who hate me. I don’t do this because I fear you but yeah I do. Remember me when you come here ok? Just call first so I can get the rug ready ok? Promise?

Thanks

We decide.

I only link there, from here, and can’t stay for more than 3 comments. By comment 4 I’m so bored and in pain. Idiocy should hurt; it really should. Instead I hurt for them.

Maybe all the beheading videos need to be played on the big screen in the middle of Time Square on a busy saturday night. On a loop. For 72 hours or more.

roninacreage on March 31, 2007 at 5:23 PM

I think you’ll find that you won’t need a loop.
