Pandering to your base ... and Buy Danish!
[L]ast September [2005] a Danish newspaper published some satirical cartoons about Mohammed, which simply isn’t done. Compared to the illos you find in the Arab press, which could be described as “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion for Dummies,” the cartoons were mild – but some people will brook no dissent. In Gaza, armed men stormed an EU office to protest the cartoons, and a group called “Holy War” demanded all Nordic-types leave in 48 hours. Odd how quickly tolerated enlightened Europeans can descend to US status, eh? It’s almost as if support for those anti-Israel UN resolutions counted for nothing.Former President Clinton, in full weathervane-mode in Qatar, denounced the cartoons as “appalling” and “totally outrageous.” “So now what are we going to do?” he asked. “Replace the anti-Semitic prejudice with anti-Islamic prejudice? . . . In Europe, most of the struggles we've had in the past 50 years have been to fight prejudices against Jews, to fight against anti-Semitism," he said. We? Bill Clinton now speaks for Europe? He continued: "Because people see headlines that they don't like (they will) apply that to a whole religion, a whole faith, a whole region and a whole people?" he asked.
No. Just the ones who vote for Hitler.
