Where’s the ACLU? Via AP:Â ÂCHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Two editors at the University of Illinois student-run newspaper were suspended Tuesday for their decision to run a series of cartoons that have sparked outrage and violence around the Islamic world.Editor-in-chief Acton H. Gorton said the Daily Illini’s publisher suspended him and the newspaper’s opinions sections editor, Charles Prochaska, for two weeks pending the outcome of an internal investigation. “I’m very disappointed. I think this is nothing more than a cover-up,” Gorton said.
Daily Illini managing editor Shira Weissman would not comment on the situation Tuesday. A telephone message left with the newspaper’s publisher, Mary Cory, was not immediately returned. The paper’s editorial staff told readers in Monday’s editions that the decision to run the cartoons was made by Gorton and Prochaska without their knowledge.
While the staff apologized to the Muslim community, it stopped short of saying it disagreed with the decision. “We want to make it clear that while we do not necessarily disagree with the decision to print these cartoons, we disagree with how they were run,” the editorial reads.
According to the editorial, Gorton and Prochaska ran the cartoons without consulting the staff or the publisher and “behind the backs of those who are being significantly affected by its fallout.”
Gorton and Prochaska ran their own editorial Monday, defending their decision to reprint the cartoons, and even called “irresponsible” the decision by major newspapers around the country not to publish the cartoons. Gorton said on Tuesday that other editors were in the same room when the cartoons were laid out on the newspaper’s pages and did not object. He also said he continues to stand by the decision to publish the cartoons.

Don’t bother contacting the ACLU. They’re busy defending suspected terrorists, notes Jay Stephenson.

Yes indeed, where is the Anti-American Communist Liberals United on this case? Nowhere to be found. Of course if you asked one of their supporters, you’d get a mealy-mouthed excuse similar to “…uh, well, they can’t take a case until someone brings a complaint to them…uh…”. Yeah, right. Put a cross on a public building and watch them parachute in withing hours…
I remember when the NEA-funded “art” show a number of years ago featured the work of some degenerate who had a crucifix upside down in a container of urine, and a picture of the Virign Mary smeared with animal fecal material. That was not only okay, free expression, and “art”, it was just fine to be supported and encouraged with the tax dollars of Americans who were deeply offended by it. Rightly-offended Americans (myself included) were laughed at, mocked, and chided as whacko fundamentalists and the religious right.
Yet let anyone post the Mohammed cartoons, even just to show the public ehat the MSM is talking about, and the asswipes come out of the woodwork. Nope, no freedom of expression allowed here.
Just one more example of the culture war that is raging here.
I’m thinking of applying to the NEA to fund my art. It will feature effigies of ACLU lawyers upside down in containers of urine, where they all belong imo. Cool, huh? Think it’ll be a hit?

Saw the news this morning where the animals were rioting, destroying, and burning in Pakistan. Then they talked about how last night a bomb in Iraq killed four children on their way to school.
These are truly the lowest forms of scum on the planet. They are not human, they are less than human. It is time to take all the Jihadists we have captured, try them before a military court, then execute them. I would do so by placing them in a large open area, then detonating their captured IEDs around them. Since they love their bombs so much, I would make sure they get to experience them. Send them to hell, where they will burn for their crimes against humanity.
Those little kids, innocent victims, will see heaven. Jiahdists are destined for the lowest pit in hell.
