That’s a bad comparison. Nobody has organized a world-wide campaign to intimidate Jesse Jackson into not saying racist things. They have done that with regards to “depicting Mohammad”.
If you respond to such bullying by capitulating, you only invite more of it.
Well, Ralph, they have no guts and even if they did they are more likely to side with the terrorists.

Look at the NY Times reponse. Incredible crap.
Capitulating means not doing something you were going to do. It does not mean backing down from bullies trying to force you to do something you never wanted to do in the first place.
You did not like my comparison simply because you know you would not reprint a Jesse Jackson racist rant. It is just an example chosen because it was something I figured you would find repulsive. Replace it with anything of your own choice so long as it is something you do not want and never will want to print. That is the issue. No one is obligated BEFORE or AFTER to print or not to print. It is not the printing. It is the murder that is the issue.
