DUmmies discuss destruction of "Piss Christ"

[thelaughingman]

Actually, no, they just use it as another excuse to slam Christians.

Two threads so far:

11. I've heard that radical atheists and Satanists will riot over this
   
just like those Muslims in the Arab world after some Westerners dared to draw Muhammad contrary to Koranic dogma. Oh wait...never mind.

15. Wimp!
   
How pathetic to destroy the art rather than the artist. Have our fanatics learned nothing from their Jihadist cousins? Destroying the "art" will only get you denounced as a barbarian. Gutting the artist and stringing him up in his own intestines will get allot of cowardly intellectuals sniveling about how important it is to respect your faith.

Just find a group of people that looks non-religious and brutally murder them and blame it on the "offense" of the art. That gets lot's of defenders here.

23. yep. Liberals are all about supporting murder by crazed fundamentalists.

The idiots that think that kind of stuff is art should be kept away from sharp objects. And the artist that can sell it as "art" to otherwise sane people should be selling deepfreezers to polar bears.

Those artists aren't selling their work to anyone, but they are funded with tax dollars most of the time, or at least their shows are hosted at tax funded museums.

...or a "Patron of the Arts".

When I hear people describing some off the wall painting I want to say "WTH are you looking at". They talk about the artist choice of colors, his composition, blah, blah, blah and I'm standing there thinking, "Looks like some house painters drop cloth to me."

Well, well... The general tenor to the posts seem to support the artist's freedom of expression - just like the posts that supported Rev. Terry Jones freedom of expression.......

You're right. He should have set it on fire then pissed on it until he put out the fire...then called it art.... "Burnt Piss Koran"

Uh-huh.

I would love to stick a primitive in a jar of urine.
Add a koran and I'll make it a party.

Don't the prims (the ones with money, at any rate) pay good money for that "service?"

[GOBUCKS]

The DUmbasses wanted to kill the nutcase Florida preacher who burned a muzzie bible.
But the scumbag who put a crucifix in piss is an artist.

That tells you all you need to know about DUmmies, democrats, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Any reason why they refrain from speaking about Islam the way they speak about Christianity?

Yes. They share a common bond with practitioners of Islam, a deep hatred of the US and of everything else good and decent.

Oh! so Ann Coulter's quote was right:

We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would, except it would put them on the same side as the United States, Ann Coulter

[GOBUCKS]

Yes. They share a common bond with practitioners of Islam, a deep hatred of the US and of everything else good and decent.

And they don't want to insult The One.
