    You people do get your panties in a bunch!

    And I thought the Puritans were easily offended. For people who ostensibly have no problem with almost naked men and women parading around in Gay Pride parades, and who presumably support "Piss Christ", artwork of an extremist right wing nut-job in S&M gear is somehow extremely offensive?

    I suppose when art doesn't stick it to the patriarchy or the "good old-boys" club, it's offensive and sexist?

    It's that left-wing double standard that turns people away from the environmental movement and the feminist movement, parts of which are equally as scary as Jerry Falwell as some of these comments prove.

    Boy, you people sure have some angry hymens! You need to get the sand out of your vaginas and support all free speech, and not just the kind you agree with!
