The controversial “Piss Christ” artwork Sen. Alfonse D’Amato once branded as a “deplorable, despicable display of vulgarity,” is coming to New York, and security is being heavily ramped- up at the gallery that will show the piece. Andres Serrano’s work — a “photograph of the crucifix submerged in the artist’s urine” — first ignited controversy in 1989 when D’Amato complained to the US Senate that it was an “outrage,” an “indignity” and a “piece of trash” that had been funded by taxpayers. Serrano had won a $15,000 prize for his work, backed in part by the National Endowment for the Arts But the piece — which will be on display as part of a retrospective of the New York artist’s work at Edward Tyler Nahem gallery beginning Thursday — is still causing controversy over two decades later.

Oh my goodness, my plate is so full right now, I can’t do anything, I’ll be goshdarn lucky if I get done the stuff I myself must do.
But can somebody please get a demo together with folks holding signs that say “IF WE WERE MUSLIMS WE’D CUT SERRANO’S HEAD OFF” “IF WE WERE MUSLIMS WE’D BURN THIS BUILDING DOWN”
That is what’s needed.
I guess we shoud be rioting in the streets./s
Note to Romney/Ryan - Cut the NEA to ZERO 1st thing in January.

That is freakin hilarious.
If we are to follow “cultural and moral relativism” wouldn’t it be our duty to RIOT and BURN crap down, because we gotta be ALL THE SAME? Right? right?
I ****** HATE this PC RELATIVISM and the cancer it represents!!
Of course the Christians won’t riot, because most all of the Christians are BETTER PEOPLE because their religion is not so “SWORD HEAVY and INSECURE”!!!!
Of course for all our trouble of being better citizens we get the short end of the stick and get demonized more than the other animals.....
.... Sigh....
Where are the media shouting at Obama and Clinton “What about Government subsidies for displaying Christ in a vat of urine”?
If New Yorkers appreciate it then that’s where it ought to be. The ‘artist’ won a $15000 grant for it from the NEA. Tells me more about the NEA than it does the ‘artist’ that failed basic plumbing 101. I suppose it’s a consolation prize for the new protected class. I’m surprised it’s not hanging in the Oval Office by now.
What if an "artist" announces very soon that on the opening day of the new Serrano exhibit, he will create "Piss Koran" on the sidewalk right outside of the museum?
Plenty of pre-publicity. Lots of photos of the separate dry jar, and the dry Koran, in advance. Really promote it. Youtube videos, etc.
Hold "Piss Christ" hostage, in effect.
What a mind-blowing quandry for the politically correct commisars!
What would happen?
What would the President say? The Secretary of State? The Mayor? American Muslim leaders? Foreign Muslim dictators?
If the police threaten to arrest the "Piss Koran" artist, announce ten other "Piss Korans" will be created in Zuccotti "Freedom Park" or somewhere else nearby.
Interesting opportunity to "compare and contrast," eh?
One set of rules for the Islamic Overlords, and another set for the dhimmi kufir infidels?
Love your idea.
We need Ann Barnhardt to handle the job.
link doesn’t work
Brilliant!
Liberals call “Piss Christ” art, and a wonderful example of free speech. And they demand the moohammed video maker be arrested for insulting islam.
I have a cow pie Quran !
We should tell them "Hey...it's art. You of all people ought to be able to see that."
Yawn.
Jesus is bigger than this. I don’t need to defend His honor. He can do that Himself.
>> Controversial ‘Piss Christ’ art back in NY
My response:
Go to Hell, United Nations. Take your agenda of stifling free speech and shove it up your ass!
Yours truly, a devout, non-violent Constitutional Christian.
>> This is being presented to bait Christians
No it’s not. It’s being presented to bolster International support for outlawing denigrating language against ‘major’ faiths.
Wake up, people — look lively!
Will some Christian riot now? /s
So any time now His Majesty will denounce this work of “art” and ask the gallery to remove it, right?
No, to the multiculturalist-fascists "all religions are equal but some are more equal than others."
