Why do Muslims hate Charlie Brown?
A confused Sarah Palin appeared on Fox News this morning and blasted Islamic extremists for killing the cartoonists who draw the Charlie Brown comic strip.
The Fox and Friends crew were baffled by Palinās diatribe, until they realized she was mistaking Charlie Hebdo - the French satirical magazine targeted by Al-Qaeda this week - with the iconic American comic strip character.
āI just donāt get why Muslims hate Charlie Brown so much,ā she proclaimed, āItās good wholesome, family entertainment. I would think religious conservatives would enjoy that kind of thing."
āBut I mean you just canāt win with these people. Every little thing you do offends them. First it was burning the Quran. Then it was that whole CIA ātortureā scandal Now itās Snoopy, Lucy, Pigpen and the whole gang."
āWell guess what? I donāt care if you donāt like Snoopy. Thatās no excuse to go around murdering people."
"I can't stand Dilbert. And don't even get me started on The Boondocks. But that doesn't mean I go round shootin' up the place."
āI guess maybe because he was always playing football and baseball and celebrating Christmas?ā Palin continued, āMaybe itās just too American for them? I donāt get it.ā
Thing is, this is exactly the kind of thing she would say.
