Just like a public school, there shouldn't be political statements made. This isn't art - it's BDS politics.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://reflectionsbykris.squarespace.com/" REL="nofollow">Reflections by Kris</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-23657479973135987492007-12-03T13:34:00.000-06:002007-12-03T13:34:00.000-06:00the person approving the exhibit is no doubt recei...<I>the person approving the exhibit is no doubt receiving all kinds of high fives at work for such cleverness, such daring exhibits, and will probably receive a raise.</I><BR/><BR/>You know what would prove them bold and daring?

Bash Islam, and you are either in fear for your life, or in the least, ostracized by the multiculturalist PC police, chastised by your fellow citizens as racist, bigoted, ignorant, intolerant, religiously prejudiced, inflammatory, etc.The WordSmith from Nantuckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937868119894243815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-32377772573278904242007-12-03T03:42:00.000-06:002007-12-03T03:42:00.000-06:00It sure doesn't take much to get your panties in a...It sure doesn't take much to get your panties in a bunch, does it?<BR/><BR/>The "public" in New York Public Library (and in any other municipal library system) simply means that any member of the public can walk in to see the exhibition and/or otherwise use the library's resources.<BR/><BR/>Libraries, thankfully, don't get in the business of censoring, though that's what it seems you'd like NYPL to do here.<BR/><BR/>If the works of Ligorano and Reese <BR/>bug you, maybe you should poke around the online exhibit a little more, just to see what else is on tap.

So why are they stuck in the 2004 wayback machine?<BR/><BR/>Played, out of touch and incorrect - sure. Art? hmmmmmmmm I reckon. <BR/><BR/>After all other artists are stuck in time - like 'Oasis' the band - always trying to re record the Beatles 'Revolver' CD.GrEaT sAtAn'S gIrLfRiEnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760252542953109449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-88882030117179264672007-12-01T23:28:00.000-06:002007-12-01T23:28:00.000-06:00Shameful... too bad they at least didn't counter i...Shameful... too bad they at least didn't counter it with something from the other side... then at least it would be fair.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-54052239932831741702007-12-01T22:49:00.000-06:002007-12-01T22:49:00.000-06:00The "artists" just bought themselves instant fame ...The "artists" just bought themselves instant fame on every liberal talk and news show. To every ultra-left function. <BR/>They're the new Cindy Sheehan, eligible for interviews and maybe even, if they can figure out for what, a Nobel Prize. <BR/>They probably thought about displaying an Islam prophet or two like that but then, on second thought, they might get killed for that art.<BR/>Better to let the troops die for their right to be scum, I'm sure they support the troops.
