1. "All is Forgiven"

Interesting headline.

[Fred Sanders]

2. Looks like DU has been stunned into silence.

Meanwhile Wolf Blitzer's "American Hour of Fear" is on..........holy cow, mommy, where is my blankee?

6. Deafening...ringing-in-your-ears silence!

CHARLIE VIT TOUJOURS !
(Charlie lives still!)

"Hour of Fear"....Bwahaaaaaa!

As the Frenchman in Monty Python & the Holy Grail so memorably taunted:

"Go and boil your bottoms..."
"I fart in your general direction..."
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries..."
"I blow my nose at you..."
"You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs..."

15. Their silence is surprising...

NOT.

What could they possibly say but, "sorry," and most of the most vocally anti-Charlie folks don't seem the type.

I even got a nasty-gram in my inbox. One that, after expressing their feelings, was sure to include, "Don't bother to reply-- I have you on ignore." I got a good chuckle out of that.


What a unintentionally ironic fool.

3. Wonderful!

4. Brilliant!

7. .

I hope this gets the attention of all those who believed the worst about the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists, and gets them re-evaluating their knee jerk assumptions about the meaning of the cartoons.

8. Kick. nt

9. Courage no American media outlet would ever display.

Nice to see and a giant FUCK YOU to the religulous idiots of the world.

10. "All is forgiven"

My satire detector is not working. Is that for real?

There's no way in hell I'd forgive those monsters.

[Fred Sanders]

11. What religion would ever preach forgiveness let alone an aethiest? I think Hebdo earned the right

to be the authority on this.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

12. Should have been the response after 9/11.

[brooklynite]

16. I think it's supposed to be the reverse...

...e.g. the Islamists are very sorry and it won't happen again.

[shireen]

17. ok, i changed my mind after reading this

14. Foregiveness out of necessity

and the idea that it's the only path forward. Highly intelligent, I salute the authors and the French.
