Today's Al-Qaeda Joke

Scottish Police Chief Constable John Vine stunned the guests at a bar association dinner with a joke.

During the toast, towards the end of the evening, Mr Vine told a joke about al-Qaeda fathers comparing notes about the careers of their suicide-bomber sons.
Many in the audience at the event on March 24 were stunned when he delivered the punchline: "Kids blow up so quickly these days."

Apparently, the crowd reaction prompted Mr. Vine to apologize. Sure, it wasn't a great joke but I thought it was okay.

Of course, it wasn't the quality of the joke that was objectionable. It is simply not politically prudent in the United Kingdom to speak ill of terrorists. What a bunch of wankers.

'Illegal Alien' Is New Ethnic Slur

Political correctness is changing the rules of 'free' speech daily. No longer are cartoonists able to freely draw the world as they see it and now 'illegal alien' is deemed offensive.

From AnnCoulter.com:

On CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" on Monday, Dobbs was interviewing Nativo Lopez, president of the Mexican-American Political Association about his demand for "full immediate, unconditional legalization for all persons currently in the United States."
Dobbs posed this innocuous question about Lopez's planned boycott, "You're talking about a boycott of all illegal aliens in this country?"
Lopez exploded: "Well, first off, I refute your terminology. You don't say 'kike,' 'patty,' 'WOP,' OK. You don't say "nigger"! ... You're using language that's offensive to me and offensive to my people! ... You pollute the air every day, Dobbs. ... That language is offensive, it's derogatory, it's denigrating, and don't use that terminology to me again, referring to my people!"

Jeez, I could understand a bit of snippiness if Dobbs had mentioned 'beaners' or 'wetbacks' but he didn't. Dobbs said 'illegal aliens' which, in my mind, is a fair and descriptive dictionary definition of people sneaking into the U.S. My preference would be 'trespassers' since it carries a more precise and accurate meaning. more...

1 Frank Gaffney, Jr., and The Center for Security Policy offered a great idea on illegal immigration in the form of a Secure America Pledge. I have a post on it here with a link to an online petition in support of the pledge.

5 Alas, I checked the CNN transcript and that is how it happened. "Illegal Immigrant" is offensive! But the best part was that Dobbs continued to mention "illegasm immigrants" after this guy's tirade against the, um, "slur."

7 Cardinal Mahony asked that illegals not to be called 'illegals', too. I wrote The Tidings and stated that that sort of instruction was cruel and what mental illness is made of. Let alone his silence on the Aztlan and pan-Hispicic aspect of the protests. i think he finally told the Phpyc mob to roll up the eagle and worm flag, that they werent scoring any points.

8 >>>it's denigrating, and don't use that terminology to me again, referring to my people!" How dare that worm of a man, Nativo Lopez, to imply that when someone says "illegal aliens" he must be referring to all hispanics. It is HE, not Dobbs, that has made that implication by protesting the use of that term.

9 We need to guard our language, and not give in to political correctness. Call it as you see it, and vigorously support your position, and debate anyone who tries to suggest the language you use is an ethic slur. They are not the ones who make up the rules.

10 That's right! Guard our freedom of speech! Call 'em as we see 'em! And don't let anyone try to shut us up especially the likes of Inprobus Maximass, Oyster eater and Jesusland Joeblow!

Posted by: n.a. palm at April 15, 2006 03:17 PM (ZRe7M)

13 I thought it was funny as hell! That whole approach has backfire written all over it! This is one argument that will inevitably blow up in the faces of the pro-illegal crowd - it is simply a question of time. For the Dems and some Republicans, this reminds me of the story of the dog with a bone in his mouth who sees his reflection in the water at the edge of a lake - and thinks its another dog with a bone - he then drops his bone in the water in an attempt to get "the other bone" ... and loses everything over an illusion. Does anyone seriously not believe that come the next US recession (which affects economic conditions south too!!! - and down there they are already deteriorating!!!) that illegals will continue to come - they will be competing openingly (they are now but its down quietly) with other illegals, Hispanic-American citizens, African-Americans, and unemployed whites? Nothing gets uglier faster than labor unrest - it may be localized and regionalized - but it will be a sight to see on the 24hr news cycle! Add to that mix localized voter fraud (you know its happening) and increased taxes for diminishing services ... what a combination!

14 Well, we could always engage in ethnic sensitivity -- why not use the Spanish word "mojado" (pronounced "mo-ha-doh"). It means "wet", and refers to the fact that these foreign invaders need towels for their backs.

Posted by: Rhymes With Right at April 15, 2006 04:02 PM (o4D7C)

15 Nativo Lopez (probably not even his real name), has been involved with the racist Aztlan movement for decades. The more these jokers cry about terminology, the more they need to hear it. There's a clear parallel with muslims' attempt to stifle free speech regarding statements about islam that they find "offensive". I say let's offend 'em every chance we get.

Posted by: Richard at April 15, 2006 05:08 PM (7KF8r)

16 I googled Nativo Lopez and discovered that he was Larry Lopez before changing to Nativo to have more latin appeal. It is merely coincidence that my handle also contains Larry in it.

21 JJ, it does no good to tell Larry or Hailus what he is. Yes, he's a moron, yes he's an idiot. The problem is that he's too stupid to be bothered by it. This is what our government schools have wrought and foisted upon us. A bunch of ninnies whose self-esteem is impenetrable because their feelings take presedence over value and knowledge. They never feel pressured to produce anything of real value because they think their presence alone is all that's necessary.

23 Larry, Hailus, whatever you feel the need to be today, since you can't even decide on a handle, let alone carry on an intellectual conversation with even the most lightweight of political opponents without resorting to the standard Bush bashing rhetoric or faking a strong conservative standpoint to weasel your way in with buzz words you don't even have a passing acquaintance with the definitions of, your best bet would be to just shut your pie hole and take the backseat you were born to because you are treading way too deep. Mental midgets like you get trampled everyday. I'd hate to see you get hurt. And the best you can do is, "Now get on all fours -- and bow to your superior!" What a child. And rest assured I won't address you again. Life is way too short to respond any further to your debasing and infantile remarks.

Posted by: Oyster at April 16, 2006 02:26 PM (YudAC)

24 Oops! I must have touched a nerve on that one! Now who's the oppressor here? I only verbally attack when verbally attacked. Oyster breath started this with insults of " moron " and " idiot " , not knowing me from Adam and now has wheezed out and grown red in the face! Typical! Now Oyster breath has resorted to veiled threats of physical harm. If it's too hot in the kitchen .... and if you want people to shut-up then there are plenty like you over in the Muslim dominated areas of the world! The one piece of advice you gave yourself I agree with, and that is if you can't take it then don't dish it out ... and please don't strap on a suicide belt! I actually do enjoy reading some of your posts.

26 So suddenly "illegal" is a word that belongs in the same locked box that holds "kike," "nigger," and "spic," eh? Fine. Maybe I'll start calling the Hispanics "Aztlanofascists" from now on.

Comedy Central Censors South Park

Michelle Malkin has the story. She includes a clip of the censorship as well as this link for feedback to Comedy Central. And Michelle has open comments on this post so go go and express your dismay.

Ok let me get this strait, Muhammad handing Peter a helmet = offensive enough to censor.

Jesus and Friends Crapping on George W Bush = not that bad.

Is the world a F*^&ed up place or what?

Others Volokh Conspiracy and In the Bullpen.

Add this Image from Republicanjen. Hat Tip: Dr. Rusty Shackleford.

I'm sooooo pissed off too!!

5 Comedy Central was more concerned about their income than sparking violent protests. CAIR most likely made it known to the network that they had their boycott threat form letters printed and ready to send to their sponsors.

6 CAIR most likely made it known to the network that they had their boycott threat form letters printed and ready to send to their sponsors. Perhaps so, but in that case the best they could have done for business would be to write a snarky letter back reading "I don't 'CAIR' what you think. Get it? 'CAIR!' Get it? 'CAIR!' Get it?" Nope, I think it was the fatwahphobia.

11 I predicted this last week. Do you really think the liberal assholes at Comedy Central really want to piss off their new found friends the Islamofascists? And these Muslims here in the US would do nothing. Nada, not a damn thing. But they are being encouraged by displays like this to see that violence and threats of violence gets results. I also predict this will encourage the bastards to ramp up the rhetoric.

17 I think some of you are missing the point. Matt and Trey knew CC would censor the Mohammed part, but would air, without reservation, the "Jesus and friends crapping" part. It was a direct dig at CC. Think about it... Cartoons of Mo cause Muslims to riot all over the world, and many people die. Jesus and friends crap all over Bush etc... no riots, no deaths... nothing.

Posted by: Ariya at April 13, 2006 11:00 PM (yHb0A)

18 >>>Seems reasonable to me. If it were true. But it was out of fear, not respect.

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at April 14, 2006 08:08 AM (8e/V4)

19 >>>It was a direct dig at CC. I see your point. But christians still don't like their faith being dragged through the shit so atheists can make digs at each other. Show some "respect."

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at April 14, 2006 08:11 AM (8e/V4)

20 I think Christians have a right to be offended by depictions of Christ defecating on the president. And it is important to remember that they have made no threats of violence against any person or institution that has offended them. A Christian boycott of Viacom, Comedy Central or South Park would be in the best traditions of American democracy. By contrast, the threats and violent acts of some Muslims are outrageous, and must be condemned. However, Carlos, if you really want to see disrespect, look at atheists. More Americans say they would not vote for an atheist for political office, regardless of his positions, than any ethnic group, gender, or sexual orientation. Christians get state recognition of a key holiday. More than 70 parents have lost custody of their children in America simply because the judge thought they would be better off with their Christian parent. Imagine, for a moment, if 70 christians had lost their children because they were christian? I could go on--the point is, the broader society is far more "disrespectful" of atheists, who are a distrusted, disliked minority, than this fictional "war on christians" who make up the vast majority of Americans. There is disrespect directed at some fundamentalists, and yeah, as Medved's book points out, many Hollywood liberals are not fond of Christianity, but in the larger scheme of things, atheists get the worse deal.

Posted by: jd at April 16, 2006 06:50 AM (uT71O)

21 I think the cartoon was offensive and I dont blame Christians for their disgust. A much more realistic cartoon would have shown Bush crapping on Jesus and the flag...

Posted by: charlie at April 16, 2006 07:17 AM (6oaPd)

22 You got that right Charlie! Although I doubt South Park is on many Christians list of late-night entertainment.
