And the liberals throw a fit at the mere suggestion that they're not as patriotic as the average guy...

Maybe they could do a "anatomically correct" chocolate mohammed for ramadan. I'm sure it would go over quite well.

Luke 12

8" I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. 9 But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. 10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

Still waiting for a real "artist" to caricature Mohammad.

None out their with real balls I guess.

The days of bold, daring artists are long gone. The group of pussies stick to the safe, tried and true cliches like Jesus.

Wake me up when somebody does a "Chocolate Mohammed" during Ramadam.

"one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever."


I dunno, the cross in the jar of pee was a little over the top...

They should have fired the sorry blackguard before he had the chance to quit.

You know that there will be a "resurrection" (Pardon my pun) of this so called exhibit at some “brave” smaller private gallery somewhere in NYC.

I’m telling you all right now, If I ever hit the big Lottery, after I financially take care of my family, I will build a gallery that is so politically INCORRECT that liberal heads will explode. I will offer commissions that will be designed to set a new bar for offensiveness and I will encourage free speech in other than Christian themed art.

What the heck do I care. I already have Cancer. There is little that the world can do against me. I still have “Free Speech”. I would welcome the battle in court over that vague (and undefined term) “HATE” crime. Oh the fun I would have.

The sculpture was to debut Monday evening, the day after Palm Sunday and just four days before Roman Catholics mark the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. The final day of the exhibit was planned for Easter Sunday.

Wow. I didn't know Good Friday was just for Roman Catholics! Oy. :/

Where's the problem in this? The cloth isn't accurate. I'd be curious to see if the sculptor did a "traditional" Jesus or gave the figure more Semitic features.

The "artist" should take the statue to New Orleans. Isn't that "Chocolate City"?

Semler said the calls included death threats over the work of artist Cosimo Cavallaro

Cosimo isn't an artist, he's a clown.

the hotel couldn't continue to be supportive because of a fear for their own safety

Hmmm, Fear. Sounds like a good tactic. Should be used more frequently!

The six-foot sculpture was the victim of "a strong-arming from people who haven't seen the show, seen what we're doing," Semler said. "They jumped to conclusions completely contrary to our intentions."

"Because as an artist, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much smarter than you clodhoppers are!" he continued in a hissy fit.

Seriously, the bottle has a Skull and Crossbones on it, and is labeled "poison". Do I actually need to drink it just to prove something to a Liberal?

What is it about you Lefties that makes you feel so superior that whenever someone finally stands up and says, "No, this far and no further!" that you automatically assume that the problem is that "they failed to fully get their message across?"

"In this situation, the hotel couldn't continue to be supportive because of a fear for their own safety," Semler said.

Listen, pally; If you really had an ounce of guts, you would go out and do this to Mohammad on the first day of Ramhamadamadingdong. I can't remember the last time someone in My Faith actully had the conjones to punch someone over the continuing, ongoing, eternal slandering of My Lord by a bunch of foot-stamping, limp-wristed, whiney, self-important "art-teests". Good gosh, you must be really offensive just to get someone to say "that's morally offensive." If you had REAL guts, you'd cheese off the turbin-toaters...they kill people for their "god." Hey, wait a minute! You don't suppose you did this just because My People are unlikely to harm you in any way, and you are an abject coward, do you?

Truest words ever said by a talented but misguided Lefty writer: "Happy people do not need to make art"...Garrison Keillor.

I unleashed a sculpture of Matt Semler this morning in the bathroom, or at least my interpretation of Matt. I should have saved to see if they would have accepted it as another exhibit.

Semler should link-up with those two cretins who shut-down Boston by stringing battery-powered cartoon characters on bridges. The three of them could create anatomically correct battery-operated chocolate Easter bunnies that have sex in candy shop windows.
