When it comes to putting their butts on the line they are cowards.
I have to respect Matt and Trey because they have a spine.
McVaeigh was in the service of islamism.
Bump!
Will you please correct author’s name to “Steyn”? Thank you
What a Straw Man argument. Comedy Central never said it was “hip,” or “edgy.” It’s been pretty middle-of-the-road. Even HBO is more edgy.
You want hip or edgy on Basic Cable, you have to go to VH1 or MTV, some of their “reality” shows.
As far as Comedy Central saying “Cut the Prophet Mohamed in a Bear Suit”: those of us who actually watch it and are familiar with it expected nothing less than capitulation. They ARE a business concern foremost, after all.
Methinks the National Review doesn’t watch much Comedy Central, except for maybe “Larry the Cable Guy” specials.
South Park’s Scientology parody lasted 1 episode but their Christ rants are forever.
Is this the Bill Clinton who ordered the assault on Waco that so enraged McVeigh? Is this the same Bill Clinton who razed the Alfred P. Murrah building in record time and couldn’t wait to execute McVeigh? Probably the fastest execution in modern US history. THAT Bill Clinton?
"But they won’t do that [Tea Partiers go violent]. Because, notwithstanding their outrageous demonization by the media, they’re not terrorists. So, in the end, Comedy Central has incentivized Islamic violence and nothing much else. Nevertheless, we should be grateful to its jelly-spined executives for reminding us that the cardboard heroes of the American media are your go-to guys for standing up to entirely fictitious threats. But for real ones? Not so much."

Who has the Rabid Armadillo Pinglist?
“Everybody knows that when you say “I’m becoming very concerned about unsustainable levels of federal spending,” that’s old Jim Crow code for “Let’s get up a lynching party and teach that uppity Negro a lesson.” “
LOLOLOLOL!!!
I do adore Mark Steyn.
PLEASE FORWARD these links to anyone who has been lied to by the media and politicians about the Tea Party Movement, which of course is everybody.

As a youth I had a black cocker spaniel who would make a fuss if the mailman came, but if a stranger showed up he would just wag his tail. I have often thought that when "the cardboard heroes of the American media" look in the mirror they should see, not a "watchdog," but the visiage of my dog.The reason American journalists set themselves up as "cardboard heroes" is painfully obvious - because they can. What could be more obvious than that it is profitable to do so? And what could be more obvious than that they can get away with it because they are in cahoots with each other - and that the mechanism which enabled and promoted their cooperation is the news service in general and the Associated Press in particular.For protection from real threats, you want the kind of person who goes to church to be reminded of the transcendent - and who takes a camera to a Tea Party rally in Washington wondering if anyone else will be there but Obama goons.
