Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

The Baron reports on the outrageous fire-bombing of a satirical French weekly that dared to satirize Islam and Mohammed. The Baron's post is admirably restrained, sticking to the facts of this medieval attack on western freedom of expression.

And I'll give the Baron a free link to this knucklehead from Time Magazine's on-line version, who basically states that Charlie Hebdo "deserved" their bombing, and that it was time for press self-censorship in cases like this. I think the Baron and I would agree, for once, that Bruce Crumley's position is truly shameful for the member of a (for now) free press.

Now whether the Baron is for a free press for those, like Muslims, who oppose his extreme viewpoints ... perhaps we'll get some hints on that front in future exposes of Gates of Vienna's dangerous extremism. But, for now, the Baron and I are undoubtedly on the same page.
