WorldNutDaily Columnist Issues Death Threat Against Cartoonist
"A Feb. 9 WorldNetDaily column by Jon Dougherty takes the 'islamic' approach to offensive cartoons: calls for death.

Dougherty rants in his column against Tom Toles, the Washington Post editorial cartoonist who drew a cartoon featuring an amputee U.S. soldier. He doesn't explicitly say he wants Toles dead, but the headline leaves no ambiguity as to his intent: "Why is this man still alive?"

Dougherty goes on to call Toles "an amazingly insensitive pinhead," adding that "this obscene cartoon goes beyond dissent and crosses well into the realm of material our society ought to -- and used to -- reject."

Dougherty offers no explanation why another editorial cartoon featuring an amputee soldier has not generated similar outrage. (The difference being is that Toles' Cartoon made a remark about Donald Rumsfeld)"

1. Remember EVERY member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff ...
Were all over Tome Toles with a letter and in the process of holding press conferences. Hell, Rumsfeld even got involved. Seemingly these men had nothing better to do?

IF this issue that enraged the Muslim communities had not "blown up", these nasty men would have tried to figuratively LYNCH Tom Toles.

Make no mistake fellow American Patriots, we are living in a world of deafening RW Spin. Fasten your seat belts. When the "Earls" of the deep south figure out that life is bleak in BushWorld, all hell's gonna break loose.

These people are evil, i.e., both neo-conservatives AND neo-liberals are propaganda spewing war mongers.
