Larry David would think heaven itself had fallen on him if he had used a picture of the prophet Muhammad instead of Jesus to urinate on.. Larry David is either a coward or afraid his head would be separated from his neck if he had done so.

Didn’t Congress just pass a “Hate Crimes” bill (snuck into a defense authorization)
Why doesn’t it apply to this guy?
show sponsors?
Vengeance is Mine says the Lord.
How much do you want to bet Obama and the UN won’t go after Larry David:
blasphemy laws
http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2009/10/column-just-say-no-to-blasphemy-laws-.html
“Whether defined as hate speech, discrimination or simple blasphemy, governments are declaring unlimited free speech as the enemy of freedom of religion. This growing movement has reached the United Nations, where religiously conservative countries received a boost in their campaign to pass an international blasphemy law. It came from the most unlikely of places: the United States.
While attracting surprisingly little attention, the Obama administration supported the effort of largely Muslim nations in the U.N. Human Rights Council to recognize exceptions to free speech for any “negative racial and religious stereotyping.” The exception was made as part of a resolution supporting free speech that passed this month, but it is the exception, not the rule that worries civil libertarians.”
Not for nothing but I remember an episode of Seinfeld. Kramer was running the NY marathon (I think) and he got tangled up in the Peuto Rican flag and ended up stomping on it. There was a big stink about that episode and I don’t think it was ever shown again, or included in the DVD series. Just goes to show that for libs like Larry Chrisians are the one group left to “pi$$” on.
Bible-believing Christians & their symbols? Open season.
Christ will survive the attacks by these very small people...
This is accepted as the mainstream norm.
I made an error when posting this article. The author is Sherry Tomfeld .. I am so sorry..
Why doesn’t little Larry’s private pee on a painting of Mohammad?
Maybe Christians in this country should start acting more like Muslims.
I wonder what would happen if he called Jesus a “faggot”.
Larry David appears to be an anti-Christian, pro-Muslim “comic” (and I use the word “comic” sarcastically). Like you said, let’s see him paint Muslims the same way he has demoralized Jews and Christians if he has any degree of integrity for his “craft” whatsoever. When it comes to fear for keeping his neck attached to his body, he’s going for the easy (no consequences except some viewers offended) blasphemy type of entertainment. The usual Hollywood crowd is no doubt applauding his endeavor to bash Christians.
I double dog dare this SOB to pee on a picture of Mohammed.
The guy didn't intentionally pee on the picture.
One wonders why there was a picture of Christ hanging near enough to get splashed, but that's another question.
One wonders why a kid would believe a picture near a toilet would believe it's tears and not urine/water, but that's another question.
One wonders why you're so eager to be a victim.
I can certainly see why Larry David has to stoop to this level. Has anyone tried to watch his HBO show? Good grief the writing is bad. How do you go from contributing to a successful popular show like Seinfeld, to this?
Good luck Larry. It’s going to take more than this to get your career back on track though.
You lost me years ago, and this certainly isn’t going to help.
HBO’s programing board shares little in common with me. That’s for sure.
Lets see this mini-mind pee on a Koran to demonstrate his true advanced thinking and courage.
LOL..you must learn to read. Christians are NOT victims. What do you care about deeply? Now, if people degraded that, whether it’s your wife, your dog or your idea of what is most important to you..are you seriously not going to stand up for yourself? Then intent was to make fun of Christians and their Savior. Period.
As I recall, He was scourged with rods and spat upon by the Romans too. His response? “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”.
It seems telling that a man whose entire philospohy was based on love for his fellow man would engender such hatred. It says much more about the haters than their target.
I think He can take this in stride.
He must be, er, shooting for an NEA grant.
HBO. No sponsors...
But your headline leads almost everybody here to believe he urinated on the picture on purpose.
Why ?
Perhaps a picture shouldn’t be placed so close to a toilet that it can be splashed on, would you agree?
Seems to me like the intent was to make fun of the tendency to see “miracles” in such mundane things.
I don’t think it’s particularly funny, but it’s not a great big slam, either.

Let em know what you think. The email link is near the bottom of the page. I sent my email and hope they get the message.
And one day they all will stand before Him - the One they hate, the One they reject, the One they spit on, the One they urinate on, the One Who hung on a cross dying a very slow, painful death to keep them from eternal damnation- they will face Him as their judge and all they will do at that moment in time is wail for what could have been and Who they could have had and what eternity didn’t have to be.
Hate crime laws won’t apply here. Hate crime laws were created for the express purpose of putting White Christian/Jewish normalsexuals in jail for anything they say, or don’t say, or do, or don’t do, and setting free anyone who attacks White Christian/Jewish normalsexuals.
I am Jewish but my blood boils when I see these attacks on Christianity in this country.
The character was on medication that gave him a high pressure urine stream and he accidently splashed the picture. The owner of the house and her daughter thought it was a tear on the picture of Christ and got excited.
If you ever chuckled at news reports of people seeing images on Christ in their soup, coffee, toast etc. you are probably just as guilty as Larry David. I have, and have felt guilty about it but yes it was humorous.
How sad. I always feel sorry for people who do such things. Larry David’s knees will bow, along with everyone else’s, in recognition of Christ as Lord, and that confession will be made before God.
I always felt sorry for George Carlin too. He was genuinely funny, and had such talent. But, he was pitiful in his ignorance of God, and vile in his blasphemy.
That would be unbecoming. What we, Christians and Jews, should do is demand accountability from our friends and neighbors. It's not the "comedians" that worry me but the crowds that find it funny. When Letterman made jokes about rape of Palin's daughter, there was loud laughter in the audience. That is what worries me: who are these heartless people that have not a moral bone in their bodies? And the only answer I can come up with is that it is my friends, neighbors, coworkers... It is they who make this cruelty possible.
“Maybe Christians in this country should start acting more like Muslims.”
If we did that, we wouldn’t be Christians.
Lk 6:27-38
Jesus said to his disciples:
“To you who hear I say, love your enemies,
do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you,
pray for those who mistreat you.
To the person who strikes you on one cheek,
offer the other one as well,
and from the person who takes your cloak,
do not withhold even your tunic.
Give to everyone who asks of you,
and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
For if you love those who love you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners love those who love them.
And if you do good to those who do good to you,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners do the same.
If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment,
what credit is that to you?
Even sinners lend to sinners,
and get back the same amount.
But rather, love your enemies and do good to them,
and lend expecting nothing back;
then your reward will be great
and you will be children of the Most High,
for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
Be merciful, just as also your Father is merciful.
“Stop judging and you will not be judged.
Stop condemning and you will not be condemned.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Give and gifts will be given to you;
a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing,
will be poured into your lap.
For the measure with which you measure
will in return be measured out to you.”
Larry David writes things that are so obviously funny that they are not...
I totally agree with your great assessment.
They day will come when we piss on Larry and other lowlifes like him.
It was in the script, moron.
One wonders why a kid would believe a picture near a toilet would believe it's tears and not urine/water, but that's another question.
It was in the script, moron.
I, for one, don’t give a damn about the context. I am, however, familiar with Larry David and his leftist politics. He deserves to be pilloried for this...
“Apparently he is mad because he thinks heaven has cheated him in the looks department,...”
Uh, I think he did get cheated, big time.
It was in the script, moron.
Wow - I don't agree with you, so I'm a moron. That's nice.
It's not like the guy took the picture down and deliberately urinated on it.
The script has him accidentally splashing on the picture.
And you know it. Yet you would rather call names than debate the point.
Yeah, well, it looks like a lot of people would rather play the victim.
I am, however, familiar with Larry David and his leftist politics.
Personally, I never heard of him.
He deserves to be pilloried for this...
I think he deserves to be ignored. It's the worst possible reaction for an "entertainer".
The point is that THE SCRIPT HAS HIM PISSING ON CHRIST!
That was no accident!
That was a deliberate slap in the face of all Christians, not to mention a blasphemy of the worst sort.
Larry David did not accidentally write in the script that his character was going to piss on the face of Christ. No. He thought it would be funny if he did, so Larry David deliberately wrote that scene.
If he would have had his character "accidentally" piss on a picture of Mohammed, he'd be dead by now. Him and the actor that did the scene and the horse that they rode in on.
And you know it. Yet you would rather call names than debate the point.
I just call 'em like I see 'em.
Spot on.
Double dog dare you...
He should be challenged to do the same to a pic of Mo. THEN, see what happens. Would be a life-changing moment.
Also in the story, he looked at it and could have wiped the piss off, but didn’t. He left it there.
We don’t react to Jewish American - communists, fascist or whatever - who hate and harass Christians and we don’t issue death threats and chop off heads. That is the only language of “tolerance” limo-Marxists understand.
But who knows...that might change some day if the Larry Davids of the world don’t wise up. Not all Christians turn the other cheek as loud and proud abortionists have discovered. The hatred of Larry David is the kind of hate that inspires hate within some. I would not do that if I were him.
What would you say if a Christian or MUSLIM did this to a Star of David.....I can’t think of another symbol you have other than the Star of David. Maybe you wouldn’t blink an eye.
AMEN!!!! Larry David probably WROTE the script.....He is DESPICABLE....Christian Hater, obviously.
That was no accident!
I think there's a difference between accidently splashing on a picture, and deliberately urinating on a picture.
That was a deliberate slap in the face of all Christians, not to mention a blasphemy of the worst sort.
Well, if you want to be offended, on behalf of all Christians, go ahead, for all the good it will do you.
Personally, I think the audience for this tripe will INCREASE because of this reaction, but I don't really care.
Larry David did not accidentally write in the script that his character was going to piss on the face of Christ. No.
Nobody has said that, and you know it.
He thought it would be funny if he did, so Larry David deliberately wrote that scene.
Yes, he deliberately wrote it that way, that the character accidently splashed on the picture. It's not really that complicated.
If he would have had his character "accidentally" piss on a picture of Mohammed, he'd be dead by now.
Well, Mo's followers are looking to be offended too, I'll grant you that.
I just call 'em like I see 'em.
Yeah, me, too.
Same deal - it's tasteless tripe, so there's no sense in raising the pitchforks about it.
