(3,496 posts)I won't continue to waste my time defending Charlie Hebdo's left wing creds to DU, it's hopeless. Y'all need your outrage fix and you'll get it from whatever source suits your purpose, not matter how absurd. I'll just state clearly for the record that Charlie Hebdo was against all forms of racism, classism, sexism, religious authoritarianism, and cretinism.
Taken out of context, I could turn anyone into whatever filthy thing I chose and then post it all over the internet, especially after they're DEAD and unable to defend themselves. I could search DU, take any 5 sentences you've written out of their context, and turn you into a wife-beater.
What is even more ironic is that Charb and Tignous and company were assassinated by an Islamist terrorist, the guys that Dieudonné thinks are just peachy, because they are going ahead and "taking care of the Jewish problem".
Whoa take that phrase out of context, and Pooka Fey is AN ANTI-SEMITE
Nuance ALERT. Put on your thinking cap now. Dieudonné is being questioned (he has been taken in for questioning, all you non-French speakers btw) for appearing to publicly support a terrorist attack. He has not been convicted of anything, and HE MAY NOT BE.
Charb is not alive to defend himself, but he was so left-wing he makes everyone on DU look like a Wing-Nut. That means you.
