    And what do "the enraged" propose to do the instant they quit "tolerating" it?

    Never mind. Everybody knows, but nobody dares speak it.

    We got into this at work the other day. One of our more weak-kneed colleagues suggested journalists just not tweak Islamists. My reply: "excuse me. I am not a Muslim. Therefore, I am not subject to their laws or rules. I can poke fun at the prophet the same way I poke fun at Jerry Jones or Nickelback. And while I don't want to be killed by anyone for excercising my rights anyone who wants to kills me has the problem. Not me.

    It's all just bullshit. If they'd gone, they'd have been ripped by the News for that, too. Two dying tabloids in pursuit of New York City's dying crabby old white people.

    Of course, if the M. N. HAD gone, the RWSM would be going apeshit about 'grandstanding,' 'showboating,' 'attention-whoring' and trying to make it 'all about him.'

    PS: If Obama proposed a five percent wealth tax devoted totally to fighting terrorism, Zuckerman would have an aneurysm.

    You forgot "taking too many trips on the taxpayer dime" and "trying to distract us from Benghazi."

    But no doubt we'd get saturation coverage of BHO making google eyes at a foxy Danish PM.

    Did anyone's journalism colleagues suggest that in order to avoid offending orthodox Christians, pictures of gay and lesbian couples be omitted from magazines and newspapers? Blasphemy is blasphemy.

    Smart politics to not show up at the anti-terror rally. The Democratic Party's base would have been very upset.
