Talk show hosts on Montana woman who damaged Jesus porn exhibit in Colorado?

Posted on 10/09/2010 3:48:56 PM PDT by EveningStar

What have the conservative and libertarian radio and TV talk show hosts been saying about Kathleen Folden, the Montana woman who damaged the Jesus porn exhibit in Colorado (she has been released on bail, and the exhibit will not return to the library)?

Have any of them discussed this at all?

If any have, which ones have supported her? Condemned her? Been neutral?

She should call what she did “performance art.” The argument would be that her actions were every bit as “artistic” as the display that her artistry destroyed.

I don’t know, but I’ll bet if he had depicted Mohammad instead of Jesus, and some muslim fundamentalist had chopped the artist’s head off, they would have all said he’d been asking for it...

I think everyone has directed all their attention and time to the upcoming election.

If this exhibit was so artful, then why have we not seen pictures of this wonderful art, and the damage which was done to it…uhmmm I am just wondering why exactly!

She got her bail paid by an anonymous person and I would suspect all her fees would be payed also. Even some liberals in the area think she was great.

The City of Loveland incites violence and denies the whole thing.

They’re out there. You have to look for them.

The exhibit really is disgusting.

The point has been made in these threads that if this had been a depiction of Mohammed that the Left would be defending the vandal and criticizing the insensitive artist.

As the image was of Jesus, the Right is defending the vandal and criticizing the blasphemous artist.

The same crime performed with the same motivation yet now the violence is acceptable.

I just found them; this is considered art…according to whom…the demented or insane. She did the world a favor; and she should claim to be using them as props for her own performance art.

Comparatively, the stuff of mockery, cartoons and impressions of Muhammad and Allah are at least grounded in the truth and have relevance to their precepts, documentation, teachings, and practices of Islam. Whereas, “The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals,” has no foundation or basis for its premise, similar to placing a cross in urine or smearing elephant dung on a church altar. Unlike Islam, where one could soak a Quran in menstrual fluids and be closer to reality.

I have on display here a photo of my art and is right after i took a huge dump on a koran the so called holy book of the MOSLEMS. I really think we should all use the term MOSLEM and try to pass it around that it is the correct spelling of this so called religion.

What to do? What to do?

Well, for nearly all of us, there isn't anything to do about any of this, except jabber about it.

Maybe it's all a bit harder for the cop who responds to the scene of this event and has to decide whether or not to make an arrest, or the prosecutor who gets the report about the event and has to decide whether or not to prosecute.

What do we want these law enforcement folks to do in response to this event? Do we want these folks to consider what most people in the public would like them to do? Do we want them to consider what law enforcement folks in Saudi Arabia might do in a similar case?

How complicated is all this, really?

So far, there have been 11 replies to this thread other than my own.

Only two posters have attempted to answer the questions in the initial post.

The rest are rehashing what’s been said in the previous 4 threads.

Does anyone want to give it a try?:

What have the conservative and libertarian radio and TV talk show hosts been saying about Kathleen Folden, the Montana woman who damaged the Jesus porn exhibit in Colorado (she has been released on bail, and the exhibit will not return to the library)?

Have any of them discussed this at all?

If any have, which ones have supported her? Condemned her? Been neutral?

Well, I tried to answer your question. My answer is that they all jabbered about it. What else can they do?

They and we have it easy.

What she should have done instead was shot the artist and then a knife with a note attached into his dead body as a warning to other artists who should try to do this. She would be following the lead of the practitioners of the Religion of Peace.

Fine. I was just curious if any of them took a stand one way or the other. I would be surprised if they did.

Ideas on the issue haven’t jelled yet - when they do, you’ll hear from everyone. For now, there’s the pull between the lawful ( almost all conservatives) and the ethically outraged ( again - almost all conservatives)...
