Pamela Geller puts her azz on the line for us, the least we can do is catch her pass and run it for a touchdown. there isn't a one of us who wouldn't take a bullet for her. She's attacking the lefty media and Islam at its Achilles heel - the 1st Ammendment and we need to exploit that breach.
I've seen a lot of savvy, biting satire images and comments here on Free Republic, really funny stuff that will hold up in any venue. We got the chops and now it's time to use them and create a Conservative cartoon and satire repository and archive that others can paste into their blogs and forum posts.
Cartoons don't have to be slick, just funny. You don't need to be a Michelangelo or possess a degree in illustration to have fun with this. Hell, stick figures could cut right to the funny bone. Photo collages are dead simple, you can do them with MS Paint. Such a contest should also be open to video clips and animation, like those Hitler rants with voice over. Pretty much any medium that will travel over the wires would be fair game.
Islam is psychopathic and narcissistic. Any criticism leveled at a narcissist is a dagger in their heart. We can literally kill the jihadist mind with ridicule. What's not to like about a battlefield economy that lets us destroy their self-image without firing a shot. Geller fired the first salvo in the 21st Century "Cartoon Wars". Let's not leave her alone on the parapets. Roll out those howitzers of humor, those machine guns of mirth, those bayonets of buffoonery.
You don't even have to create an entry, just search FR for past posts. The idea is to have a collection of material for others to use. We can send the results to Geller as a morale boost and show of support.
Just an idea...
Liberals be like, "Haters!!!"
.
MoMo before he got all religious and started his quest for jihad.
[No. Making fun of anybody’s religion is wrong...]
Considering you are living in Seattle, your understanding of Islam and their goals doesn’t surprise me.
You do know that their religion holds the record for number of people murdered, right? 100 million people have been killed by the followers of Islam. The Hindu Kush mountain range is named after a massive massacre of Hindus by Muslims. "Hindu Kush" means "Hindu Slaughter."
The Islamists have managed to beat even the Communists in mass death, and that is no small accomplishment.
It appears that there are some Freepers out there who need to see your most excellent post!
I suppose you support anti-blasphemy laws?
Welcome to Free Republic.
“...and mockery is fine if they say crazy things. (like you cannot draw my God)...”
Some Christians think it is wrong to have a drawing or statue of Jesus (or Mary, etc.)
“...you shall make no graven images...”
I get their point- it can somehow limit your view of Jesus as seeing him only as a man or something like that. But I’m not sure that is what is meant in the Ten Commandments.
No big deal to me. Unless they start chopping off heads to prove their point.
I read on FR awhile ago where Mohammed was part of a tribe that was expanding territory in battles. And they had a hard time keeping all of the various tribes that they captured under control. So he came up with the muslim “religion” in order to unite the various tribes under one thought system.
” Making fun of anybody’s religion is wrong, no matter how misguided or evil we may think that religion is.”
Feelings...whoa, whoa, whoa, feelings.....
Nazism had a significant cult figure worship component, too - almost like a religion. I do hope that the mockery by Charlie Chaplain, the Three Stooges and countless writers and cartoonists didn't hurt Adolf's feelings too badly.
No. Making fun of anybody’s religion is wrong, no matter how misguided or evil we may think that religion is.
I hope FR shuts it down.
Freedom of speech is an essential right and I’d die for the right of FR to do this contest mocking a religion.
However, I am religious and my religion teaches me not to mock other faiths. My religion teaches me to treat others as I wish to be treated and I would like my religion to be respected.
Other faiths are fine for other people. My rabbis taught me to respect that other people have their own ways. One of the reasons I love my religion is that it doesn’t purport to be the only or the best. It only purports to be the best for ME.
The content of one’s character can’t be rationalized legally. The Klansman is printed in this country, and the guards outside the building have never been shot. Mocking religion is to be legally tolerated even if it is difficult, as It is, for blacks and Jews to tolerate such filth being printed.
If FR allows mocking of a religion that is also not a legal issue, it’s a content of one’s character issue. Same with this TX contest. It’s in bad taste but it’s perfectly legal and should be.
I was offended by Piss Christ and Book of Mormon. I defend to the death the artists’ right to create them, but I don’t think mocking a faith is ok if you just don’t like that particular faith.
and also...
What’s with the date? April 3rd was a Friday, and today is May 4th.
Maybe I’m missing something here. :^)
Not a religion. It is a cult.
Im going to blame that typo on Daylight savings time..../
So you are ok with Sharia Law since that is just as offensive to most Mooselimbs to ignore.
Pray America is waking
I don’t think that opposition to a faith brought about by the wholesale slaughter and rape practiced by adherents of that faith in obedience to the written scripture of that faith falls into a category of irrational prejudice.
I also assert that it is impossible to shift the focus from the behavior which caused the mockery with out outright defending said actions. No matter how many tortured and twisted rationalizations the defender makes.
Easy enough to make that mistake. The "3" key is next the "4" key, and the "April" key is next to the "May" key.
