Sharpton channels Muslim cartoon outrage

Has anyone else made the connection between the outrage over the Islamic cartoons by Muslims and Al Sharpton et al's outrage over the New York Post chimp cartoon?



That's one of the reasons I call these groups soulmates though at least Sharpton's group has only called for people's figurative heads and not literal ones.



From a free speech point of view there's absolutely no difference between their reactions.

People should be protected.

Ideas should always be open to debate.

It seems to me that Al Sharpton should unclench his fist...



It's instructive that people on the right would never have made the connection between the NYP cartoon and Obama - because we're pretty much race blind and have been for years - while the vile race baiters on the left use it as a cudgel to promote their racist agenda.

And in the immortal words of Forrest Gump:
