How these idiots can connect the dots they do never ceases to amaze me. This bumble fuck, recognizes the situation. Then, as MOST liberals do, draws EXACTLY the wrong conclusion from it. The whole thing falls flat because there is simply no connecting the dots as he tries to do in his last sentence. He's trying to connect the anti-Gay marriage Amendment and the mid-term elections to Islamic states manipulating their people. What a fucking joke:
The War on Cartoons

The War on Cartoons claimed its first victims yesterday, when at least five peoples were killed in violent protests. Over the last two weeks, the dispute over satirical cartoons depicting Muhammad has grown from a mere mosquito fart to Hurricane Katrina II: Electric Boogaloo. Yet, weren't those cartoons published over six months ago? Why dredge them up now?
Eps's diary :: ::
An editorial in today's New York Times explains:
The cartoons were largely unnoticed outside Denmark until a group of Muslim leaders there made a point of circulating them, along with drawings far more offensive than the relatively mild stuff actually printed by the paper, Hollands-Post en. It's far from the first time that an almost-forgotten incident has been dredged up to score points with the public during politically sensitive times.
I am truly shocked that leaders would exploit such a sensitive matter to rack up political points. I just can't believe politicians would actually manipulate people's religious convictions to muster support for their own radical agendas. At the very least, I can find comfort in the knowledge that my own government would never betray the American people like that.
In unrelated news, the GOP is set to force a vote on the Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment later this year, just in time for the mid-term elections.
