The Jesus Cartoons: Don’t Expect Any Riots
And no beheadings, either.
Allahpundit reports: “Another American university tackles free speech, and everyone involved embarrasses themselves — except the conservatives. A parable for our times.”
World Net Daily broke the news yesterday that a far-left student newspaper at the University of Oregon — called “The Insurgent†appropriately enough — decided to publish 12 deliberately offensive cartoons of Jesus in their March issue.

Before all that, the S.F. Giants fired their PR director because some special interests took offense to an (internal, not-made-for-the-public) training video, KNBR sports radio host gets fired because a black coach took offense to some remarks about the players, and a political campaign manager gets fired because some people took offense to his remarks about black and white.
