Miss Slackistan and the Burka Beauties

This is funny -

And a quote from the grumpy bystander:

"I cannot believe they thought people were going to laugh. No one would want to curtail freedom of speech, but it's hard to differentiate this from downright bullying."

There's always a "but" from this crowd, isn't there?

I think the use of the term "bully" here is a bit over the top. These are England's version of the guys that paint their faces yellow and green and go shirtless to a football game in Wisconsin in January too drunk to chant properly. A bit tasteless? Perhaps.

In contrast, a youth of Middle Eastern origin stabbed Theo Van Gogh in the chest after shooting him in Amsterdam. I don't remember any liberal complaining about how the "youth of Middle Eastern origin" was behaving like a bully. I heard precious little about bullying when the federal government paid to have "Piss Christ" on exhibit either.

My point is, you cannot have it both ways. Society is either tolerant, or it isn't. If you expect Christians to put away their crosses and bibles as they enter the Kingdom of Saud, I don't want to hear you bitch about how someone in America made fun of you in a parade.
