....I’m confused. If they were trying to storm the stage, doesn’t that mean they didn’t like him being racist? And did Sacha Baron Cohen give these lousy people a ton of money as a donation to get into the event?
Be careful.
Umm... In this case it does. Roger has invited myself and 117,499 of my closest friends to a party and I intend on going. Sorry you weren’t invited.

This is a fatally slippery slope. Why stop at Muhammad, when the Christian right wants you to stay hands-off with Jesus, Hindu nationalists don’t want you talking shit about Shiva, and even some Buddhists are getting into the nationalist-purity game? I can only assume that this profoundly misguided decision will be…
