I think most people who watch South Park would make a comment similar to this: Courage is a commodity sorely lacking by Comedy Central. They certainly didn’t care if they offended Jews or Christians. Their lack of backbone is what’s offensive. Or, Comedy Central should be ashamed of itself for giving in to the threat, and every peaceful, moderate Muslim in this country ought to be out there right now denouncing this at the top of their lungs. OK, does that sound reasonable?
Report thisI DON’T THINK SO! Immediately, right this second, these cowardly people belonging to the “Revolution Muslim” group should be arrested and charged with harassment, threats of violence, intimidation, and hindering free speech. Where do these hoodlums, thugs, scalywags, goons, strong-armers, fanatics, combatants, militants, radicals, extremists, fundamentalists, militant Islamics, zealots, and pretty much a bunch of hell lovers think they’re living? They are living in America, the home of the free and the land of the brave. So Comedy Central, maybe you need to grow some “apples”? YOUR A DISGRACE to the brave soldiers who put lives on the line every day in Iraq, Afganistan, and everywhere else. YOUR A DISGRACE TO AMERICA. Not only is this a shameful act by Comedy Central, but they were intimidated by this despicable, anti-American radical behavior. I knew Jon Stewart was a Democratic Socialist Obumer supporter but I had no idea that he would sell out when the going got tough.Why do the liberals/progressives abandon their principles and hide like little girly’s so easily when they get scared? I bet the ratings for Comedy Central go in the toilet? What I’m looking forward to, is how Comedy Central is going to be able to find comedy and satire in this cowardly act? Unbelievable

Are you kidding me! I love South Park! Treay and Matt have based the entire show upon free speech and now it is being bleeped!!! Why are Muslims given so much clout in this country? What needs to happen is the authorities need to go and round of the idiots that made the threats to Trey, Matt, Comedy Central and whomever and prosecute them! Why the heck aren’t people outraged when they see Jesus crapping on the American flag for crying out loud? I am seriously its is a damn cartoon! Muslims need to get over themselves this is America the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE! Apraently now we should change our sloagan to the Land of the Unfree and the home of the Wimps!

Re: Jesus Number Two’ing on Prez and Flag.
Besides a counter-insult, the spoof makes me think of something neither my friends or myself discussed in our young Catholic School days. According to the mythology, Jesus was completely divine and completely human. If he was completely human than he must have been beholden to all the usual human bodily functions, although the notion clashes with Jesus being somehow lily pure and ethereal compared to his family and friends.
I doubt if Jesus peed perfume or dumped gold nuggets. Jesus (if indeed he ever really existed) must have urinated, defecated, and at least sometimes had offensive BO, halitosis, and had godawful teeth as did most people of that time and place. He must have gotten horny after he reached puberty. He had to wear a single garment for days at a time. He must have farted, like the rest of us, and stunk up the surroundings with his fartgas. And after excretion, he had to clean himself up according to the limited options for doing so 2000 years ago.

I’m curious as to what they planned to do with Muhammed, defecate all over Jesus maybe? Ahhh, you’re always safe with Bush Bashing though. *winks* Even the pope would laugh at that!

If the creators of Southpark so love the towelheads and hate America and our Christian faith why don’t they go live in Iran. Real Americans do not want them there. I think SP is one of the funniest shows but this was way to far off center. To protect the enemy that attacked us and killed 3000 fellow Americans, and no threatens us with attacks larger than 9/11 is treason.
