Would you think it funny to piss on your mother's picture? Or Obama's?

Here we go again. The latest instance of the open season on Christians and the kind of material that human rights commissions will never protect us from. In fact, they are merely providing the levers of government power so Christian expression can be shut down by various "interest" groups :

"Was Larry David always this crude? Would he think it's comedic if someone urinated on a picture of his mother?" Donohue said in a statement. "This might be fun to watch, but since HBO only likes to dump on Catholics (it was just a couple of weeks ago that Sarah Silverman insulted Catholics on 'Real Time with Bill Maher') and David is Jewish, we'll never know."

During Sunday's episode, David, who created, wrote and produced "Seinfeld," visits a bathroom in his assistant's home and splatters urine on a picture of Jesus. Instead of wiping it off, David leaves the restroom. Minutes later, David's assistant enters the bathroom and concludes that Jesus is crying. She then summons her mother to the bathroom, where both women kneel in prayer.

"When David and Jerry Seinfeld (playing himself) are asked if they ever experienced a miracle, David answers, 'every erection is a miracle,' Donohue's statement continued. "That's what passes for creativity these days."

Sad.

Instead of using the usual reaction of saying no other revered religious figure would be treated like this, the Anchoress poses this question:

Forget Jewish, forget Muslim. If, let’s say, Kelsey Grammer had done precisely the same thing on his show, but using an image of, oh, let’s just say ferinstance, Barack Obama, do you think he’d still have a career?

Frankly, the idea of an image of a pissed-on Obama “weeping,” and some of his fans falling to their knees over it would have a lot of satirical value; it would offer commentary both on the excesses of religious and political worship, and offend fewer people than David’s cowardly joke.

It takes no courage for an rich, unbelieving “artist” to piss on Christ. After all, that’s been done before. And Jesus voluntarily submitted himself to much worse, which means nothing an “artist” does to any image of Christ can do anything but reflect on the spiritual poverty of the “artist,” himself. For an “artist” to use Jesus for a cheap joke is about as “courageous” and “bold” as making a joke about George W. Bush before an audience of like-thinkers; it takes no courage at all.

But for an “artist” to make an identical satirical “joke” on Obama and his adorers? That would take great courage. That would be bold, and daring. And it would speak reassuring volumes about free speech in America.

I would not want to see it. I would not want to see the image of any American President so ill-used; he’s my president, too.

I agree. I would not want to see Obama's image or, frankly, the image of any human being so used.

But the Anchoress is so right. Doing this to Jesus is not courageous at all, because we Christians will only maybe boycott you, (note to self, no more HBO products), write letters or make phone calls.

And satirizing Obama. Whew. He's trying to bring the whole weight of White House power to shut down Fox News, thereby sending a message to any of its sponsors that they could face government's heavy hand as well. Imagine CNN having to vet that comedy sketch?

Yup. Definitely a career limiting move in left-leaning Hollywood.
