Uh—I don’t believe that the image of Christ represents an AIDS victim.

Uh...yeah...Jesus on the cross covered with ants and it’s supposed to depict AIDS victims. Don’t know why I didn’t make the connection.

If that be the case, why didn't the weak-minded weasel use a pic of moohamad as the aids victim. It would have made the pic more authentic.

“It was not the museum’s intention to offend”

Artists often say it IS their intention to offend. I guess it’s their intention to offend unless it’s not their intention to offend. Or maybe it’s their intention to offend until offending threatens their financial support.

Can you imagine these people standing before God trying to explain that what they did was within the bounds of artistic expression?

That day will come.

Of course, there’s always the opportunity for repentence, as long as breath remains. However, it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this, the Judgement. Hebrews 9:12

How much would any of us pay to see a true patriot running this outfit just gather all this crap up in a big dumpster and have it hauled to the curb?

How is it that our country has come to be run by politically correct dwwebs - bureaucratic versions of Pee Wee Herman?

co-curator for the exhibit is Jonathan D. Katz, who also is director of the visual studies doctoral program, State University of New York-Buffalo and the founder of the Larry Kramer Initiative for Lesbian and Gay Studies at Yale University.

'Nuff said.

The Lefties at the Smithsonian would never have the cojones to display and ant-covered Muhammad, but they're very, very brave when it comes to insulting people they know won't harm them.

Uh huh. No intention to offend...

Well, Martin, let’s place your naked mother or sister in the doorway of the Smithsonian and spread their legs waaaay apart and tie them down and stick an ant covered pole in them so everyone can watch and take pictures.

With not intention of offending you, of course.

This is winning the battle and losing the war. Conservatives should not focus on removing crass pictures of Jesus or other art attacking Christianity. Conservatives need to defund government spending on the arts and media, period. I wouldn’t care if the funding only went to paint copies Norman Rockwell paintings and American flags, the government should not be involved in the arts, period.

If any of us did this in real life, real world jobs - we would be fired on the spot. “Oh - hi customer! Here is an atrocious piece of filth presented as a product!”

The fact there is even a question means the chain of command should be fired.

Earlier Tuesday, the museum was under fire for hosting the exhibit that also includes depictions of homoerotic art and an image of Ellen DeGeneres grabbing her breasts.

Since when did Ellen DeGeneres accure breasts? ? ?

"I regret that some reports about the exhibit have created an impression that the video is intentionally sacrilegious," the statement read. "In fact, the artists's intention was to depict the suffering of an AIDS victim. It was not the museum's intention to offend.

Jesus was not an AIDS victim.

Christians certainly are good at loving their enemies and forgiving those who do evil against us, one of the difficult tenets of our faith. Had this clown offended Muslims, he would have been beheaded.

However, Jesus never said that His followers should contribute their hard-earned money to keeping blasphemers in their cushy government jobs.

I don’t question the right of the “artist” to create the work or show it. I object to this all being done on the public dime. I love the arts! Hell I would rather go up to Chicago and see the Art Institute than go to a beach any day. Sooner or later though somebody is going to have to pull the public rug out from under the NEA. It needs to be sink or swim.
