Why apologize for, condemn, and actually entertain removing first amendment rights due to a criticism of one mythology but say absolutely nothing about something degrading regarding another mythology?
apologize for, condemning...those are first amendment rights to.

Who's rights have been removed? No one's - like most of these issues, it's talk.

Of course they are. So why condemn and apologize for something degrading to one mythology but not another?

I said "entertain removing first amendment rights".

Who said they aren't both condemnable? If you mean why is one currently being condemned and the other not it is because the other was condemned in 1989 when it made it's debut.

No one. Individuals are free to condemn whatever the **** they want. Everything is "condemnable". But this is not relevant.

Of course that's what I mean. I mean by the CURRENT administration since this art exhibit is still being displayed. One would think that a president who feels so strongly about supposedly degrading the beliefs of one mythology would feel the same about supposedly degrading the beliefs of another mythology.

Personally, I think he's a dumbass for condemning and apologizing. But he - and others - should at least be ****ing consistent in their dumbassery.

I don't get why every old piece of offensive artwork suddenly needs to be dug up and condemned simply because the newest one is.

Because it's still on display and the dumbass president apologized for the most recent one that happened to be related to the muslim mythology.

Lots of artwork is still on display. Does that mean that anytime something new is condemned a search must be made of old artwork still on display that might offend other competing special interest groups or mythologies so there is equal condemnation? What a waste of time and whining.

Yes. When they are entertaining the notion of removing first amendment rights with regard to something that might be "offensive" to some pansy ass whiners who think their mythological 'supreme being' is so ****ing weak as to need protecting from us, then yes. They would need to look at all artwork still currently on display to see if it meets the censorship criteria they are bandying about so freely.

What is this censorship attempt in the first place? I heard nothing seriously discussed. And, what does it have to do with apologizing for something offensive? It seems there are two different issues here and with one at least, it's ridiculous to go back through history and look up every piece of artwork that is offensive to some group and apologize just because of whiners. Stick to what's current and relevant.

The filmmaker has been jailed and is being held without bond. Extraordinarily harsh punishment for a minor probation violation. But it is just coincedental that he made the video the OA blames for Muslim violence. Yeah sure.
