Well the whole thing about Salamand Rushdie is a bit more nuanced that "all muslims want to kill and enslave others". Personally, I feel people have a right to say horrible, bigoted, racist things but they shouldn't really feel shocked or upset when most people call them out on it.

There is a difference between being called out on it and having your message literally defaced.

I'm going to repost something of mine from the old thread:


Talking about free speech, the Stop $30 Billion to Israel group has been having problems with keeping billboards up. It's a multi-religous and multi-racial group run by a former member of AIPAC who quit after realizing how terrible the situation is and how a lot of modern Israeli history is exaggerated and even made up (read up about the New Historians for more info on that). First in 2009 they tried to run 10 of the billboard below in New Mexico for 8 weeks with a contract with Lamar Outdoor Advertising.



A little more than two weeks later, Lamar was "pressured" to take them down.



Then just a few weeks ago, they raised enough money to run 23 billboards in Los Angeles for four weeks with CBS Outdoor Advertising.



After getting them up, the group sent a petition to thank CBS Outdoors for putting them up, so a week later CBS Outdoors took them down because "your organization has used the ‘CBS Outdoor’ name without permission"



It's hard to get anything done. Here's the Mondowiess articles about the billboards.

http://mondoweiss.net/2009/04/man-who-says-he-is-former-aipac-member-puts-up-billboards-decrying-gaza-as-monstrous-inhumanity.html

http://mondoweiss.net/2012/06/cbs-pulls-down-billboards-calling-for-end-to-us-aid-to-israel.html

Also, meanwhile this ad got OK'd.


http://gothamist.com/2010/08/10/mta_approves_anti-mosque_ad_with_pl.php

In conclusion, where legitimate messages are removed and racist and discriminatory scrawls by a woman who advocates that the Tea Party should join with the fascist English Defence League are allowed and kept, there's little hope.

That'd be Thomas Cole, my favorite artist.

He mostly did landscapes, and a lot of his landscapes have very nice overgrown ruins in them. I don't know that he did anything quite as appropriate for this thread as that series of paintings, The Course of Empire, so here's a random scene of life going on in the shadows of imperial ruin:

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/09/fox-obama-pirate-israel.php?ref=fpb

quote:

Fox and Friends, committed to covering the issues of the day, had a report Thursday morning on “Talk Like a Pirate Day,” an international holiday held on Sept. 19. The Obama campaign even celebrated the swashbuckling occasion by tweeting a picture of the president posing in the Oval Office with a pirate. “Arrr you in?” the campaign asked in its tweet.

“TOO BUSY FOR ISRAEL / PRESIDENT FINDS TIME FOR PIRATE, LETTERMAN,” Fox and Friends’ screen read Thursday. “This pirate got a sit-down in the Oval Office yesterday,” Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade said on-air. “So much for the Middle East peace. The White House doesn’t even have time to meet with Israel, but the president got a private sit-down with a pirate yesterday in the Oval Office. Sorry, Bibi,” Steeve Doocy added.

One small problem: the photo was taken in May 2009 for use as a joke during the White House Correspondents’ dinner.

Carson Robinson was quite possibly the first country musician to sell a million records. That said, since he was popular in the 1940s and 1950s he produced some impressively cringeworthy songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ0emX5RgZQ (for what little it's worth, technically that song was by Bob Miller and only covered by Robinson.

"Their alibi for fighting is to save their face,
for ancestors waiting in Celestial space.
We'll kick their precious face, down to the other place
We've gotta slap the dirty little Jap."

It was pretty hilarious when I was trolling the Greenpeace forums how I could agree with them on almost everything from the Middle East to sustainable energy to how they shouldn't fish near-extinct tuna, except for whaling. Because that was personal, yo.

That's Grindadráp, which is a national pastime our cousins the Faroese engage in. Used to be they prioritized giving the meat from it to people what would need more nutrition, kids, pregnant women, old people and whatnot, but nowadays because the industrial nations have filled the ocean with poison it's dangerous to eat a lot of meat. Heavy metal poisoning and whatnot.
I thought it would be trans shaming, but no, it was religious bigotry. But hey, at least it ended well and all involved learned an important lesson.
