Charlie Hebdo has a long history of controversial cartoons that have riled up people all over the world. It has featured the Prophet Muhammad, who many Muslims believe should not be depicted at all, including on a 2006 cover with the headline “Mohammed Overwhelmed by Fundamentalism.” The magazine was denounced by the French president at the time, Jacques Chirac, and was sued over that issue.
It has also published covers that shout, “The Koran is worthless—it doesn’t even stop bullets!” and “I slept with my dad to get ahead,” mocking the son of then-President Nicolas Sarkozy. It has portrayed the pope holding a condom aloft, Michael Jackson as a skeleton with hair and the words “Michael Jackson, white at last,” and a naked woman with a piece of fabric sticking out of her backside and the words “Yes to wearing the burqa…on the inside!”
given that i've seen conservatives give a pass to the extreme anti-muslim covers hebdo has published in the past, i'm interested to see the reaction they have to this one...
painting with a broad brush and extreme insensitivity and calling it satire is all well and good when they're not going after you, eh?

Hell, let's just make light of France's problems....oh, I forgot they don't have any. Their just damn perfect lil humans, make me ashamed I took French in school. If I still knew any I would tell them in French to " eat poop and cake then die". But alas, we should feel sorry for that country. They have gave away all their power.....with all the immigration of the past 25 years.

I did read it, and the only person that even remotely tried to denounce it was a lefty.
What I did see though, was a pathetic attempt by you to try to trigger the "conservatives", and when that failed, you somehow told yourself it didn't.

Does this poor lady look like a Nazi to them?
And I wouldn't be surprised if the professor that got fired for saying Harvey is Karma got offered a job at Charlie Hebdo.

Meh.
Free speech.
It's a wonderful thing!

Wonder what the OP thinks about those of us that think it's in poor taste yet still protected speech.
"Success! I have triggered somebody!"
