A controversial advertisement for a San Francisco festival that depicts the Last Supper as a sadomasochism party falls within the First Amendment and is not harmful to Christianity, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Friday.

Pelosi was asked by a reporter from CNSNews about the local implications of the Folsum leather spectacle and the using of funds from city’s hotel tax, which helps to sponsor the event. "Do you think that it’s fair to tax everyone who visits San Francisco and stays in a hotel to support the fair?” Pelosi was asked.

“Well that’s not really a local question,” replied the House Speaker, herself a Catholc. “That’s a constitutional question. That’s a religious question. That’s as big a global question as you can ask. I’m a big believer in First Amendment and therefore, as I said in my statement, I do not believe that Christianity has been harmed by the Folsom Street Fair advertising.”

Whadda crock, Nancy.

I’m Catholic. When I first saw this ad, I was repulsed by the sexual content before I even realized what it was depicting. It isn’t just Christians who should be offended. All of society should be outraged.

Now I agree you can be outraged and call miller and tell them you will not buy their products. But, don't get in the jihad mode and start calling for a beheading.

Time to break out the Mohammad bomb-head cartoons again.

Just so folks can see the difference in the reactions of the two faiths in what they consider blasphemy.

We boycott, bitch, and moan.

THEY, on the other hand, burn, murder, and maim.

Yep, theirs is the religion of peace, all right./sarc.

The Moslems consider Jesus a prophet. No doubt they will be offended and will kill everybody involved.

If I try just a little bit and close my eyes I can imagine the "pop" as Nancy's head flies across the sidewalk out front the mosque.

Oh, yes, these guys really screwed up ~ so don't just imagine what would happen if Nancy ridiculed Mohammad this way, she ridiculed Jesus.

Moslems are obligated to "slaughter the hypocrites" you know.

"Pop" ~ there it goes again ~ what an imagination I have.

"Pop, pop, pop".
