While I agree that he is an insignificant wacko who is getting more press than he deserves, I would ask why the media (notably the NYT) is so quick to condemn this and the Danish cartoons but just as quick to embrace anti-Christian "art" such Andres Serrano's "Piss Christ"...Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926331686958472031.post-63128248733956737792010-09-09T11:36:25.911-04:002010-09-09T11:36:25.911-04:00He may have a right to say this stuff, but is it r...He may have a right to say this stuff, but is it right to say this stuff?
