"These posters are demonstrably anti-fascist in their message, yet we have police coming in and shutting us down for displaying them."

What a ridiculous, pissweak, lying and dishonest thing to say.

Trumphitler - 'satirical
Bush Chimp - 'satirical'
Obama chimp - wacist.

Well know satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo - massacred for 'islamophobia'

Clearly satirical Danish cartoons prompted murders across the globe.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Do these same provisions cover that? "Some'" does not make it immediately clear. Wink

Of course they may have used the "artistic" framework.

In other 'clearly satire" news:

A tweet by Nerdeen Kiswani, co-founder of the radical pro-Palestinian activist group Within Our Lifetime:

“Finally, NYC is coming to Islam. Dogs definitely have a place in society, just not as indoor pets. Like we’ve said all along, they are unclean.” (Kiswani later said she had intended her tweet as satire.)

To which Jewish Flirida Rep Randy Fine, equally satirically, responded:
“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.”

Diversity is our satitical strength.
