lovingbothIn fact it was just another 419 spam in my inbox, but it did make me think:
The Tories complaining about a proposed Labour poster with their leader as a flying pig, because it is offensive to his Jewish faith... would that be the same Tory party that depicted the active Christian, Tony Blair, as a demon?

Date: 2005-01-31 01:48 pm (UTC)People said that depicting not one but two Jewish minsters as pigs was anti-semitic and sent the message that people should hate Jews. No-one uses images of known Christians as demons to slag off all Christians.
Mind you I agree that it's not anti-semitic because among other reasons the Jewish faith doesn't think pigs are unclean (you can't eat them, but are allowed to touch them). If the ministers had been Muslim it would have been different - but what are the odds of getting two Muslim ministers?
