Opus Censored?

It would appear so.

Note to Opus readers: The Opus strips for August 26 and September 2 have been withheld from publication by a large number of client newspapers across the country, including Opus’ host paper The Washington Post. The strips may be viewed in a large format on their respective dates at Salon.com.

Why? Well. Take a wild guess what the topic is:

Surpressing Free Speech

and just think…. Breathed has done over a hundred toons about the suppression of free expression because of Bush and the Patriot Act, and not a single one was suppressed. But… do a toon about islam… and the MSM suppresses it.

Irony is so… ironic.

    Just wait, somehow or another they’ll find a way to finger the blame on President Bush, and his puppet master, Karl Rove.

    Fellow loony tune -oh so compassionate- Liberalistas, you see, it’s those evil RepubicKlans fault. Yea, it’s like, everyone knows THEY set the stage for this rampant hyperbole of hysteria with their ILLEGAL war and occupation! You can’t blame the poor misunderstood Moo-Slums; it’s NOT their fault they get all BLOWN out of proportion over silly willy cartoons. They are merely victims of racism and naturally reacting (Darwin would react this way) to the heavy chains of oppression which –EVERYBODY KNOWS- were thrust upon them by a sinister ROVIAN plot implemented by BUSHHITLER and the Military Industrial Complex. Unfortunately, the blueprints and original draft of this carefully orchestrated scheme were lost in building 7, BUT EVERYONE KNOWS IT’S TRUE!!!

    You want to know what would make your comment better though? If it actually contained anything significant and was insightful.

    The man is a satirical savant.

    To have this pulled for possibly offending Muslims? I refuse to:

    1. Tip Toe around such thin skinned people. Not all of them are.
    2. I refuse to respect a anyone with religion that refuses to respect anyone else
    3. I refuse to be tolerant of the intolerant
    4. I refuse to support someones religious freedom when that freedom is used to repress the female half of the population
    5. I refuse to understanding of the actively ignorant
