And that's exactly why I'm wondering the point behind saying "I was talking about character assassination." I hate people who have the audacity to do something and then bullshyt about their motive or what they did.

I'm saying either way, it was illegal and immoral for the pigs to shut him down
this time it was art you didn't like (or more accurately, art you don't think you would have liked, as your right to see it was taken away)
next time it might be a song or a book
as far as the artists is concerned, he seems like a wretched human being, but he 's still an artist, has the right to make and show whatever art he wants, and I have the right to see it.

No, we have to be talking about the same thing to disagree.
In a nice way, I was telling you to sit your butt down if you aren't going to answer my question.

I answered your question. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ART IS "SINCERE" OR NOT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE PROTECTED
You're the one trying to bring in all these qualifiers. None of them matter.
If they shut this down, there is NOTHING to stop them from shutting down other exhibits, plays, music gatherings, etc.
And if you're not offended that your rights were violated, I have serious doubts as to your patriotism.

RU OX Alum, I really don't know what you're talking about.
You're searching for something that I'm not offering right now. Sorry to disappoint you.

Sure there are. Every right has reasonable restrictions placed on it. Not sure this qualifies, but I don't think your assertion is correct.

It is very sensationalist exhibit but I don’t think it should have been shutdown.
There was a similar incident in Houston; the Secret Service inspected an exhibit at the Art Car Museum after they received reports of anti American Activity. They didn’t shut the museum down however.
I totally understand and support the secret service investigating perceived/alleged threats against high level government officials but does censorship really prevent an assassination attempt?

I'm confused? 
How did he get 2 XXXL pictures of an erect Black looking penis with all the vessels protruding photos printed? Wouldn't that raise some freaky-deaky red flag to Homeland Security? Would that in the patriot act?

ROTFLMAO!!! You are too much. Maybe he went into Fedex/Kinkos and said, "Could you please print this really big penis for me just this once
