Donohue Has A Point

As much I might be loathe to agree with anything that Catholic League President Bill Donohue has to say, I think he makes a good point.

The right-wing curmudgeon thinks that the papers that have dropped the Opus strip have a double-standard. It seems in the past they've published cartoons that made fun of Catholics.

He's right. Newspapers should feel free to make fun of all religious beliefs with equal abandon. It's not fair that the Catholics get to have all of the fun.

Still, it seems to be overlooked that the vast majority of newspapers that carry Opus have decided to show the controversial strips. This is nowhere near the Danish cartoon controversy, where you would have a hard time finding a paper that would reprint the comics in question.
