“Jihad? I’ll give you a jihad you miserable, rag-headed, heathen bastard!”
Blazing Cat Fur on the total lack of humour of the Canadian bien pensant.
(Thanks to the Flaming Kitty and her/his reader Cousin Arlo)
Lest one be accused of Islamophobia – you will note Islam, Muslim and Mohammedan appear nowhere in the headline.
But the CPC pussies, fresh from throwing Chris Reid under the bus, are apparently saying Stan Pioro won’t be getting any more government contracts.
You can send Stan supportive email at stanp@maxus.ca on the other hand, if you think Stan is out of line should pay him a visit….he stocks a nice line of swords
Wimps.

I so want to post that picture!

So do I…It’s on the net somewhere or perhaps Stan would be kind enough to send it along.

Update: Update: No confirmation but is this Stan Pioro the same Stan Pioro listed Here , as being among conservatives calling for Mr. Harpers Head back in ‘06?

Okay, I’m going to break ranks on this. Yes, it is deliberately offensive to Muslims. Yes, it singles them out as Muslims (not “only those Muslims who support terrorism,” not “all terrorists whether Muslim, Sikh, Marxist, Tamil or IRA”). “Jihad” (in whatever sense) is important to all Muslims, and only to Muslims.
If this poster had the Duke saying – say – “You want to attack Americans, I’ll give you a fight!” (ie, if it was applicable to Nazi Germans, kamikaze Japanese, commie Russians and Chinese, as well as “ragheads”), AND if some professionally aggrieved Muslim put in a complaint, I’d agree with him. Not that it should be censored, but that it’s bad taste.
But let’s not give up the moral high ground in this.
Brrrr, now I’m on the same side as Dr Dawg.

Interesting that Dawg et al. are more offended by a John Wayne picture than the hacking off of heads and blowing up civilians by the terrorists that the comments were directed to.

I ‘ll go with the bad taste part too Rod, and who knows bad taste better than I?

Too funny that his lame excuse was that he was only “supporting the troops” Serves his Duke-loving red necked ass right. Stupid really to invoke more anger, contempt and insensitivity in the name of the troops.
