If someone attacked your mother, would you be upset? Would you protest? I’m sure you would.
Well, the Mother of God is grossly insulted by the University of Virginia’s student newspaper, The Cavalier Daily, which printed a Nativity-like cartoon of Our Lady holding the Infant Jesus beside Saint Joseph on August 24.
The figure depicting Saint Joseph says: "Mary…I don't mean to ruin this special moment, but how did you get that bumpy rash?” suggesting a sexually transmitted disease. To which a Mary-figure says, “I swear, it was Immaculately Transmitted.”
This is outrageous public blasphemy! Click here to protest now.

NOPE... you wouldn't know who is was/were if you saw my Donkey.. No doubt I'm riding a better looking Donkey than you.. ;)
Do you know what the word Catholic means? You pretty much just said "A = A is not true".
Yes..
According to LifeSiteNews.com, the editor-in-chief of The Cavalier Daily is quoted as saying: “Under our newspaper’s policies, satire of religion, or any other belief or creed, is acceptable.” However, a year ago, the newspaper issued an official apology after printing something that irritated pro-homosexuals. “…The Cavalier Daily regrets printing this comic and deeply apologizes to those who were offended,” the apology reads.
LOL! It's quite explanatory, isn't it? Their tolerance works only one way... how do you reason with people like that?
That's the typical liberal mindset - concerned about hurting the feelings of only their preferred classes. It's a mental illness.
You can say that again.
How about the DNC Headquarters or the liberal mecca, Hollyweird?
It's really something, huh?
So what if a college paper prints something stupid? Nobody pays attention to them anyway. Not even college students. I don't see why the nagging nanny-staters have to get their panties in a wad over this.
Jesus had a mother. Read the Bible!!

This is the kind of offense that real people feel strongly about. I wonder if the guy is not trying to pick a fight by drawing this, or showing how "liberated" he is. Once upon a time unbelievers in this country had the good taste not to mock religion, or at least were prepared to take a poke in the jaw for their audacity. Now they think anything goes, that any return fire is not acceptable. In short cowardice of a sort.
