Seems that American super-patriots, in addition to being dumber than a box of tea bags, have no sense of humor. As a response to this cartoon, artist Mark Fiore reports he's receiving death threats:
Apparently, pointing out that teabaggers are freakin' idiots who think Hitler was a Communist is the worst thing ever.
"The death threats keep coming this fine morning," Fiore writes. "I guess the Tea Party crew is determined to have 'death panels' one way or another... Muslim extremist, meet Tea Party extremist. Tea Party extremist, meet Muslim extremist."
See, what happened was that Fiore's cartoon was posted to NPR's website. Blowhard Bill O'Reilly decided that this was the worst thing that could ever happen in the entire history of bad things happening and sent his brainwashed minions to flood the site with negative comments. Some of the more enterprising apparently looked up Fiore's site and decided to harass and threaten him more directly.
All because of an editorial cartoon.
Remember that whole thing about the Danish cartoon and the Muslims who freaked out over it? At the time, Bill said, "[W]e live in a free... many of us in the West live in a free country, a free society. You see Christianity, you see Judaism, you see almost every religion poked fun at. Poked fun at. So you’re telling me that Islam should be granted an exemption from this?"
But now that his crowd of nutjobs are getting ridiculed by a cartoonist, it's all different. Teabaggers "should be granted an exemption from this," because National Public Radio is some sort of "left-wing Jihadist deal."
Never let it be said that Bill O'Reilly believes the same things from day to day. Like all the conservative media, Bill's a nihilist who only says he believes what helps conservatives at the moment. If that conflicts with what he said he said he believed before, so what? It's not like the idiots who hang on his every word keep track of this stuff. He can say whatever he wants and they'll eat it up, because they're freakin' robots.
So he can freak out about an NPR "Jihad," while his idiot audience wages a Jihad on NPR and Mark Fiore.
Hypocritical? You bet. But par for the course in the wingnutosphere.
