Repugs don't want you to see violence in Moore's movie but want you to...

...see Johnson's head.

Another fine example of moral relevance by the Repugs is the fact that they don't want you to see some of the graphic images in Moore's Fahrenheit 911 and give the documentary an R rating. There are Repug factions threatening to try to shut down theaters that show the movie.

On the other hand, Chimp shills like Drudge and Hannity want you to see the photos of Paul Johnson. Share them with your friends. Show them to your kids. Use his beheading for political ratings and better poll numbers. Hannity played the audio of Nick Berg's beheading. I don't know if he tried playing the video, but he told his audience to view it.

So which is it? Should we not allow our kids and the American people to be subjected to violent images or should we show violent images with hopes that they spread ignorance and pump up some poll numbers for the Chimp?

Cheney couldn't be happier that this beheading event happened on Friday. I wonder what shows he'll be on this Sunday...

1. They only want you to see graphic images
If they involve Jesus.
