1. Thank-you for this thoughtful and rational post.
However, I don't know if it will ever end.

2. I agree.
I can think of several really obscene images off the top of my head, and none of them have to do with sexual organs.

4. And for the "but it's about the LYING!" crowd, how many lies have
been told about the situations depicted in these pictures and what awfulness did those lies enable?

8. I think that's kind of the point of the post.
You wanted the already blurry image of a penis blurred even further, but said nothing about blurring the images of the visual horror of torture and war. Why is it worse/more bothersome for you to see a penis than bloody, maimed bodies?

6. America -
one of the only countries to have a stroke at the depiction of something sexual, but perfectly happy with blowing the limbs off a child. :(

We are sick puppies. The gods help us.

12. What? There was only ONE penis pic in that whole bunch!
Okay, I'm mocking the media who cares more about puritanical hypocrisies than about the issues that REALLY matter.

Your post is sobering. Too bad Republicans don't have the brains to appreciate your message.

I do, however, kinda wish a Senator would present these photos on the floor as a bait-n-switch presentation on "The Importance of Accountability Among Twittering Politicians."

31. I have grandchildren of those ages....
if someone did that to them, well, I guess someone would eventually consider me a terrorist. We are creating them faster than we are killing them, and one day chickens are going to roost.

17. And no one complains about nightly video of people firing guns
Edited on Fri Jun-17-11 09:56 AM by dickthegrouch
Every single night I am treated to video of someone firing a gun in the 6 and 11 o'clock news at least once. There is someone on the other end of that projectile who is about to enter a world more hurt than whatever put them into the sights in the first place.

It is obscene to kill and to show that act as routinely, and without comment, as the MSM do is an appalling extension of that obscenity.

The gun nuts will never agree, but until we can *ALL* treat each other with complete respect, the human race will never go anywhere. The poor, uneducated, sick, GLBT, etc. we *ALL* deserve exactly the same thing.

20. K.r. No lineup of obscenities is complete without perhaps
Edited on Fri Jun-17-11 01:32 PM by ooglymoogly
the most obscene of obscenities; the massacre by our own government that; for its exposure Manning is being tortured and Assange is being persecuted.

In Newspeak transparency means opaque;

but beyond those comments, your meaning is as clear as it is needed to be.

Excellent post

Edited on Fri Jun-17-11 04:00 PM by FrankinMO
like a lot of the rest of the world sees, maybe we would be dropping pallets of food and medicine, vs bombs.

The American public would not stand for any of this shit if we weren't so censored.

i am really sick of the media. Where do i go for real news? I listen to the daily BBC podcast and/or check DU.

DU'ers ... please keep posting news stories that we should know about. It really really helps us learn about what's going on in the world.

Thanks, KPete. Powerful thread. :hug:

36. We, as a Nation, should be ashamed.
The sad truth is, our Reps care more about the almighty dollar, and the quest for more. Damn be to anyone who stands in the way. It is disgusting, and very frightening.

People are so ill informed because of our so called "Liberal Media" they vote against their better interests, and don't even realize they are doing so.

39.  It ends when we stop treat any and all sexual behavior at any level as a sin.
It ends when we stop acting like grade schoolers.

It ends when we stop letting Republicans set the agenda in the media.

If you think a picture of a covered penis is a capital crime worthy of excommunication from polite society, but stealing America's treasury, destroying it's economy & it's gov't, and murdering countless people around the world isn't worth even a slap on the wrist or a wagging finger, then you're part of the problem.

A VERY BIG part of the problem.

than the actions that resulted in the images.
