When I originally wrote Dead Muslim Babies, It’s What’s for Dinner, I did it mostly to be outlandishly offensive. I succeeded.
I believe that Free Speech must be tested from time to time to see if it’s actually free. That means that I say things sometimes just because I can, or more accurately, to make sure I can.
The inspiration for the post had been a big to-do over one blogger getting his hosting account suspended for merely quoting a sub-par “editorial” by FrankJ of IMAO. Denizens of rabidly stupid Leftist zombies lined up to chastise Frank’s post, and a few noticed my contribution as well.
Many a moonbat tried mightily to connect two brain cells together to comprehend the ideas of “satire, parody, and sarcasm.” They mostly failed.
Really, the point was that those of us who believe in Freedom of Speech stood up and said, “If quoting Frank’s post get hosting accounts banned, then come and get me too, Fuckers.”
I was not satisfied with that. I needed to ratchet up the stakes. So I said the most frightfully atrocious thing I could think of, ” Dead Muslim Babies, It’s What’s For Dinner.”
It’s a patently disgusting idea.
At least to people who aren’t members of al-Qaeda.
The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11 years old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man’s words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, “What did he say?” Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family. [Emph. Mine] [via Michael Yon]
I did my best to look for the horrified reaction to this story from some of the same sources that found FrankJ’s Editorial and my post so objectionable.
I didn’t find a single word of mention of it.
In summary, when someone says something utterly tasteless about cooking Muslim children, ‘Tards are in a tizzy. When Muslims actually cook Muslim children, not a peep.

When I read this earlier today on Yon’s update, it just made me sad and sick. Even though Yon was still not sure if this was true, I wouldn’t put it past the murderers to do this.
Sick. Yet, even if it is true, how long will it take to even hit the MSM?

RT-I think you hit the nail on the head. We expect this type of stuff from AQ, so it doesn’t surprise those of us who have been paying attention. As far as the non-reaction from the “loyal” opposition, chalk it up to selective outrage. It doesn’t fit their narrative so they ignore it or better yet, just blame Bush for everything bad that happens regardless of who is actually responsible for it.
Bush lied, children fried.

They exercised selective outrage for many years while Christians were murdered and persecuted in Africa.
Flavor of the week mentality. Asses.

” Dead Muslim Babies, It’s What’s For Dinner.”
You are a sick, demented man.
No wonder I think so highly of you.

BBQ’ed with a sweet and tangy sauce, Wyatt.
Kate, I say reprehensible things so that you don’t have to.
Bush lied, children fried.
Now that’s a classic. That reminds me, I’m hungry.

Sounds like you’re the new Johnathon Swift! Hey, that blog is really good–I’d never heard of it before. And reality is truly atrocious.

Yeah, but Jonathon Swift didn’t serve the Irish babies to their parents for dinner.
Wonder if they would have tasted like corned beef and cabbage?

Could it be those sites aren’t familiar with Yon? Also, it’s a horrible thing to bring up unless you’re positive it’s true, and the whole thing rides on the credibility of that one person who was interpreting (the soldier?). I wasn’t 100% convinced.
How reliable is Yon? serious question–I don’t know. He was convincing enough to make me give money. Hey, maybe you should have a donation button!
Sorry about your free speech issues. Should I make a satirical protest of your commentary? Or would that be vile and evil?

I was thinking of one of those “Buy me a big cup of STFU” buttons. That could actually work.
Heh. Make FIAR shut up. Donate today.
