SEATTLE (AP) -- The Seattle cartoonist who started "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" with a satirical cartoon in support of free speech has reportedly gone into hiding on the advice of the FBI. Seattle Weekly editor-in-chief Mark D. Fefer announced in Wednesday's issue that Molly Norris' comic would no longer appear in the paper. Fefer wrote that the FBI advised Norris to move, change her name and wipe away her identity because of a fatwa, or death sentence, issued against her this summer. The FBI declined to comment. Norris' cartoon inspired a Facebook page that caught the attention of authorities in Pakistan, who banned the social networking site in response. Most Muslims regard any depiction of the prophet, even favorable ones, as blasphemous.

But everybody - including the President and a Four-Star (Five-wannabe) General comments when an obscure preacher man from Florida "threatens" to burn a book. I feel for the FBI personnel who used to be with the Bureau when it had honor and integrity. Wish some of them would get together and write a book.
Why? There are tens of thousands of books out there collecting dust, written by good, decent, men and women, warning the American people of their fate if they don't wake up. They explain in great detail what the threats are, and where they come from, one more book won't make a diffence, except in the pocketbooks of the author, if they're lucky. I suppose I'm feeling slightly cynical and bitter this evening, I get these feeling's more now than ever before, because I feel that our worst enemies today...are our own people, fighting amongst themselves, nit-picking at each other over the most assanine things, instead of looking at the whole picture that's about to consume us all...or the things we despise the most (socialism, communism, militant muslims, bloodsucking Illegals..ect) are now accepted as equals, and we are told to 'suck it up, this is america'... It's no g-damn wonder why many former members on sites I've been a part of, who wrote the most wonderful, awe inspiring articles from their heart...have faded away, they are gone, they won't be coming back, they're either dead, or they just gave up.... There is nothing much left on these forums now but a handful of patriots, the commies, and socialist sympathizers, fking illegal alien bleeding hearts, muzzie worshipers, flamers, trolls, and SNL wannbe's.... I've watched, and read, when a person does pour their heart out over an issue concerning us all, just sharing what they are thinking, and there was a time when they'd get great feed back, and complements, or constructive advice. Perhaps what pisses me off the most are the g-damn spelling and grammar nazis, those lard ass ignorant, rude, crude keyboard zombies, who couldn't spell SHIT, without their computers...I hate them the most, because they are the vultures who go out of their way to destroy and tear down something someone else has take precious time and effort to build...something a g-damn troll couldn't do if their life depended on it. They are no different than the scum suckers who are tearing this nation apart, bit by bit... If you wonder what set me off lib, I may just let you know someday, and even though you might wonder about me sometime, just try to remember what it is we worked so hard for all these years, and know we don't do anything without a reason....something sets a person off....even though there will be those who say "it's only the internet", just remember that the internet could have been the best weapon in the world in defeating our enemies, and we let it slip by us... Take care....
Chuckles...we knew you were lying before...
My cow can bellow her intentions better than Murron can write. It's too bad that her knowledge of the use of the English language is so lacking that she can't recognize those here whose consistent mistakes are an indication that English is their SECOND language. I would ping her but I bet she has me on bozo, her favorite default position. More evidence that the professed members of the newest party in town prefer to go through life wearing their ignorance like a badge of honor rather than hear or see something that hurts their wittle egos.
I just find her hilarious. She rants and raves how none of this crap bothers her and then, later, has a classic meltdown screech whining the opposite...
Yeah, tell us about it.
