Apparently the followers of the Religion of Peace don't seem to have any sense of humor.

[konaice]

Ignorance and bigotry were reinventing themselves in the post-Christian age by dressing up as "sensitivity" and masquerading as a public virtue that may be as destructive to our rights as religious zealotry.

Although his comment is right on the mark, I rather suspect he has been guilty of the same sentiments in his Cartoon Career, but one could hardly expect him to point out THOSE instances, now could we.....

"a takeoff on the "What Would Jesus Drive?" campaign created by Christian evangelicals"

I somehow doubt the validity of this statement.

[Old Sarge]

My only quibble is this part:

Free speech is the linchpin of our republic. All other freedoms flow from it.

WRONG, sir. It's the soldier, not the lampooner, who gives you free speech. And you need the Second Amendment to protect the First.

'the drawing was a takeoff on the "What Would Jesus Drive?" campaign created by Christian evangelicals to challenge the morality of owning gas-guzzling SUVs.'

I don't think this was the work of Evangelical Christians.

One of the many angry readers who called me at the newspaper said, "You're a tool of Satan."....
"They try to screen for tools of Satan," I explained. "Knight Ridder human resources has a strict policy against hiring tools of Satan."

Humorists tend not to be aware that they are the result of an aggressive selection process. One that might not have any problems at all with whether the humorist was a tool of satan...

Many of my e-mail detractors appeared to be well-educated, recent émigrés. Even if their English sometimes faltered, they were fluent in the language of victimhood.

They learn fast, don't they?

[Edgerunner]

I gotta like this guy...

[AndyTheBear]

You've got to be kidding! Is this photo for real? I'm dubious that even Kerry would be that politically reckless.

[AndyTheBear]

Right on Sarge. My thoughts exactly. What does a tyrant care that you curse his name on way to the gas chamber?

[Denver Ditdat]

It's a fake. Debunked on FR long ago.

[headsonpikes]

I doubt that LeVey would want to be seen with the Uber-dork.

[Alouette]

Hillary's penned another bio already...? :)

Hillary is not a tool of Satan. Hillary IS SATAN.

I think it was that radical "Christian" Arianna Huffington...
