But it's okay when we do it!
Heh:
To recap:
Censoring offensive Mohammed cartoons = Existential Threat to our Civilization.
Censoring offensive anti-Christian commentary = Glorious Victory in the Culture War.

For those who think [ed. this means you, Putz] -- for some indiscernible reason -- that it is important enough to spend the energy developing an opinion on the MoveOn ad, there are, I suppose, reasonable arguments that can be made on both sides as to whether the "betray us" rhyme was rhetorically excessive, counter-productive, etc. But the shrill hand-wringing it has triggered is just bizarre in light of the fact that accusing Americans, including military veterans, of being unpatriotic, anti-American and betraying the country has, for decades, been a mainstream staple of the political rhetoric from our country's pro-war Right -- invoked most aggressively by those, such as Klein, now claiming such profound offense over the MoveOn ad.
