Oh, of course Cuomo has the right to free speech.

After all, it was Clever Chrissy Cuomo that came up with the political campaign gem "Vote For Cuomo, Not The Homo" when his father was running against Ed Koch back in the 70's.

Yes, Muslims are like a band of outlaw bikers. Got it.

Irrelevant.

If you won't tolerate Christians imposing their moral views on society, why would you tolerate Muslims doing the same?

Funny how the left is so eager to tolerate Islam and so quick to condem Christianity.

Must be that "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing......

Maybe so, but I'd wager there wouldn't be many Jews lining up to shoot/behead/blow me up if I did draw a "hook nosed Jew".

That's the difference that people like Geller are illustrating.

Assaults on free speech need not come from government to be both effective and abhorrent.

I bet if someone decided to attack Christians, especially Catholics CNN would see nothing wrong with it. However Muslims are far more important. Need I remind people that NONE of our founding fathers were Muslim?

NO, but she would not try to saw your head off either.

As a Christian, it troubles me to see Christianity being constantly mocked on shows like Adult-Swim and Family Guy. But I just choose to turn the channel, not watch what is offensive to me.......maybe the Snackbarians should do the same.

If that's the big idea, how about other groups liable to get violent? Seems very - specific.
