Soneone in France gets it

[Great-Kazoo]

Of all places a satirical publication calls a spade a spade and still roaring silence in the USA.

"We have the impression that it's officially allowed for Charlie Hebdo to attack the Catholic far-right but we cannot poke fun at fundamental Islamists," said editor Stephane Charbonnier, who drew the front-page cartoon.

Every Psychological Operations unit should have been doing this sort of warfare for years.

Of course there's silence here. According to the Public Court of the Liberal Media, the only groups that it's OK to attack, make fun or, whatever, (publicly) are Christians and Jews. If you go after Muslims, gays, atheists, or the Left, then you're obviously a right wing extremist. For that matter, if you're ex-military, conservative, a member of the dreaded Tea Party, or a "patriot", you're a right wing extremist and potential terrorist.

On the other hand, if you are what anyone else would consider a left-wing extremist then you're OK. You want the Bill of Rights changed so those evil guns can be banned, for the protection of humanity? No problem. Obviously, if we do that criminals won't be able to use them in crimes anymore. Freedom of speech should only be for those who agree with you. I wonder how long it will be until we get another rendition of John Adam's Sedition Act, so we can't publicly disagree with Dear Leader Maobama or his ilk. But if you're so left leaning that you're frothing at the mouth while denouncing those who don't agree with you (Alec Baldwin comes to mind), no problem.

Good thing none of those Muslims are potential terrorists. (Wish we had a smiley like an Ostrich with its head in the sand.) I do think it's ironically funny that this happened in France. Can you see anything like this being done here? I can't.

I wonder if the cartoonist's pen is the next potential victim of a ban?
