Eff AP.
I used to work with an editor that thought the AP was infallable and honest. He really believed that it was like on TV and he was a vet of the biz. The day we got the memo that henceforth, opinion was approved for/in hard news articles, I was hoping he’s quit.
He didn’t.
Gee how long did that take,,,,,,,,lets see 2015 minus 1987 was it?
Now the hypocrisy is the big issue.
So the answer to censorship is to make it more widespread. Cowards.
The AP will take it down and find some other anti-Christian tripe to replace it.
Like their adulation of Obama.
I suppose the Book of Mormon will be leaving the stage. The Church Lady from NBC, and any and all reproductions of Saturday Night Live, etc.
See, that’s the thing. AP’s bluff gets called, and what do they do - censor. What they should have done was publish the cartoon.
Instead, they are letting the entire camel into the tent.
Publish the cartoon, or the propaganda gravy train is going to come to a halt!
F the muzzies, F all religious and other zealots. Censorship is always wrong. If you don’t like fhe message, then avert your eyes and use the power of the pulpit to persuade.
But it was art ...
They obviously didn’t think it was offensive because they’ve had that policy for awhile and kept Piss Christ on the site. This is purely a move to avoid bad publicity. Cowards and hypocrites.
Oh, NOW they care. F AP!
i thik some conservative artists need to make some rt up we’d appreciate.
how about a muslim waterboarding diorama - “jihadi car wash”
how about dexter performing an “abortion” on an abortionist, holding up his nutsack?
how about a bunch of femen hags being burnt at the stakes?
how about an minteractive display where you push a button and a homeless guy pees on a copy of ayers/obama’s “dreams of my father”?
how about a slideshow montage of all the conservative HOPE hjacks that have been done - NOPE, DOPE, Get a ROPE, HOPE He FAILS, all of em...
Another story.
NPR voluntarily didn’t run the 2005 cartoon of a turban Mohammed. Fair enough. They didn’t want to offend thousands
Shortly after that, to offend thousands of conservatives, NPR PAID a cartoonist for a vulgar article on “Learn to speak Tea Bag”. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120344047
NPR refused to apologize or withdraw the filthy cartoon.
Piss Taliban.
