So far as we can tell, a new, twin policy from the mainstream media has been promulgated: (a) If a group is strong enough in its reaction to a story or caricature, the press will refrain from printing that story or caricature, and (b) if the group is pandered to by the mainstream media, the media then will go through elaborate contortions and defenses to justify its abdication of duty. At bottom, this is an unacceptable form of not-so-benign bigotry, representing a higher expectation from Christians and Jews than from Muslims.

The lamers in MSM are really beginning to take it in the ear for their craven policy of “tell, don’t show” when it comes to the Danish cartoons.

More importantly, the cartoons have now become something of a cleavage point between those of us who take freedom of the press seriously and those who have been intimidated into a policy of “playing nice with the Islamists”. As playing nice is bootless, the cartoons have done a great deal of good in bringing the real issues posed by radical Islam’s allergy to WEstern values into sharp focus.

The kumbya school of multicultural sensitivity has been shown up for the hollow, West hating, sham many of us have always believed it to be. And the “tastefulness” police in MSM have been exposed as the cowards they are.

Not bad for a dozen rather innocuous cartoons. Funny how wakeup calls can come from the oddest places.

    “a higher expectation from Christians and Jews than from Muslims.”
    Anybody else see a parallel to afirmative action?
