No to Muhammad cartoons at Wapo, but this is all right

Well, leave it to Pat Oliphant, political cartoonist of the Washington Post, to make fun of both God and Sarah Palin at the same time, eh? Back on September 9, with his Tuesday comic, Oliphant featured a God that curses and portrays Sarah Palin speaking in gibberish as if she were "speaking in tongues" because she is supposedly a crazy Pentecostal. Oliphant apparently isn't aware she left the Pentecostal Church six years ago? I'm sorry missed this one back on the 9th, but it is no less outrageous now than it was then.

WApo didn't publish the Danish Muhammad cartoons so as not to offend Muslims. But with other religions anything goes.

A liberal with a double standard? No, can’t be. No-way! Just you wait until his editor gets a load of this! (mega sarc)

It’s just because they’re cowards. Christians won’t cut their cowardly heads off.

Well, I guess if the left is going to go “all in,” they might as well do it publicly.

Hey, if you are going to go crazy — don’t put it in writing.

But, I guess they just can’t help themselves now (the brakes are out)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erJc4dzZ3IA

Christians are taught to turn the other cheek.

Muzlims are taught to blow things up.

Jews prefer the path of least resistance.

The wusses in the MSM, in between ordering in thai food and going for their therapy sessions (they have an irrational fear of polar bears and moose)attack those who they think wont fight back.

Some very interesting comments following the cartoon, including information about the Pentecostal nature of many black churches.

Yep.

And a lot of Hispanic churches as well.

Congratulations they just manage to insult the very people they need to vote for them in over whelming percentages.

Well, he just made fun of 80 million people! A Barna research poll taken in December 2007 said that 36% of Catholics consider themselves charismatic. Charismatics and Pentecostal Christians number about 80 million in the US.

This seething, deranged hatred by the left will only help ensure that Palin is VP.

Your statement is patently true it almost makes me wonder if it is part of the plan.
