I'm not a fan of Ted Ralls. I am a fan of Tom Toles, however tasteless his recent cartoon. (Perhaps a man with only a missing right arm, instead of quadriplegic next time Tom?)
And I thought about 1/2 of those Danish cartoons are funny as hell, and the others are tasteless as hell. But I really detest the anti-liberal Islamist bastards who are protesting cartoons with guns.
The EU consulate in Palestine is currently under siege or occupied by radical gunmen, on account of a handful of cartoons in obscure Danish newspapers. We really can't let this stand. If I were the EU, I'd close that embassy, and tell the Palestinian government that they can damn well call off their goons before the EU will have anything more to do with it.
Boycott the newspapers, sure. Boycott their advertisers, fine. But running around screaming threats is how the world got into the current situation. Apologizing to the goons and bomb-threateners will only encourage them.
