What kind of infantile person does it take to hold a competition to find racist cartoons about the holocaust as a response to racist cartoons about Islamic suicide bombers?! How old are these people, 6? 7, maybe?
It's all seems a bit too silly to be real, doesn't it?

I'm constantly amazed at the effort people put into blinding themselves to any point of view but their own, and the goofy shit they pull to maintain their world-view. I mean, for instance, not to see Hezbullah's side of the recent conflict takes actual concerted effort. I'm not condoning random civilian-targetted rocket fire, but to just say, "Well, they're the bad guys"... I mean, that can only be deliberate ignorance.
