The thing that truly torques me about much of this "art", is that it is promulgated and displayed with money stolen from us, and redistributed under NEA grants.

But when it comes to dunking the holiest Christian symbol in urine, they withdraw their censorial knife. Thats because they really dont have respect for the sensibilities of Christians.Probably more they don't think they would enjoy the lifestyle of Salmon Rushdie.

It is the goal of the Catholic League to get the artistic community to treat Catholics the way they do Muslims. The Catholic League can get a lot of milage out of that angle.

It's interesting as I was discussing this topic just recently. My thought was, what if you took a muslim holy symbol like the dome of the rock, made a replica of it, stuck it in a jar of urine and tried to have it displayed as art?
You know the response would be that it was hate speech or some such drivel and it would never be displayed in any museum.
Do the same thing with a symbol that some Christians revere and then it's a free speech issue.
I hate and despise the communists who have been allowed to get away with this.

What else is new? This is why I don't think Taxpayer money should go to any kind of arts funding. Let the rich society people, Hollywood Elite and people who just want to patronize the arts (they will ALWAYS exist) support the arts with their money. We shouldn't have to pay for this kind of trash and I am, frankly, sick, sick, sick of it. And it's not even art. A few years ago they had a guy doing performance art and he had HIV. He would cut himself on stage and drip the blood on papertowels and then clothespinned them onto a line that he reeled out over the audience so the blood was dripping down on people. Gross! Yep, and I think taxpayer money went to him too.

If my memory serves me right the original artwork "was" funded by the National Endowment of the Arts. I wonder how much the government would save by getting rid of the NEA.

Maybe Catholics ought to start flying airplanes into buildings

Have any of these museums displayed a "Piss Moses" or "Piss Mohammad"? Of course not. This is anti-Christian bigotry masquerading as artistic expression.

The people who assemble such objects, and those who promote them, are clearly in need of chemical therapy to treat their obvious brain disfunctions.

While they didn't apologize or acknowledge any "wrong doing", I believe the BMA announced yesterday that they would not restock the postcards once the current supply is gone.
