It's Just A Mustache!

Page Six reports that Rosie O'Donnell's chief writer Janette Barber was escorted from her workplace at The View for drawing mustaches on Elizabeth Hasselbeck's photos. ABC Legal and Human Resources are investigating the matter.

We shook our heads at the outrage over the Muhammad cartoons last year and now, on U.S. soil, we persecute the good ol' mustache trick?

What other freedoms are going to be trampled upon?

If an internationally known Brooklyn graffiti artist is facing 14 criminal counts for his art crimes, who knows what they'll do to Janette Barber for defacing the photos of right-wing, dim bulb sweetie Elizabeth Hasselbeck?

Rosie should start a defense fund for Barber, ASAP.

Ron Paul was right, the only way to curb this ignorance is to start assigning reading lists, although I'm not too sure which books I'd have the folks at ABC read to understand the chilling effect censoring a mustache pen will have on our future...

Severing an association with someone for defacing your property is persecution now?

Removing them from the building is comparable to beheading someone for publishing a cartoon on their own time and with their own supplies?

So, I take it that when and if a graffiti "artist" decides to come into your living room and "be artistic" all over the wall, you will have no problem with it and you will insist that he suffer no consequences for his actions?

Severing some associations is actually worse than defacing property. Ask Joe Lieberman how he felt when the Democrats dropped him after losing the primary or that guy from "So You Think You Can Dance" last night who was dumped by his girlfriend who was his dance partner. That dude CLEARLY was persecuted. As far as being removed from a building, ABC has really nice offices, so I think it is comparable...especially if Barber was in the middle of her lunch break. As far as your last question, if an internationally known grafitti artist wants to hook up my living room for free, it's all good!
