The woman who created the tasteless Mohammed cartoon event is nuts.

People are not trying to "abridge her rights".  They are saying that there are better ways to make your point than to deliberately incite them with an offense against their religion.  The point is that yes, you have the right to make such cartoons.  However the freedom of speech only states that the government shall not abridge your right to speech.  It does not say that you can say anything you want and not bear the consequences of your action.  I'm not saying that violence was an acceptable consequence, but public outrage at her crass and tasteless gesture was a truly acceptable consequence.  Also, just because you make a political statement, the media and journalists are not required to print or document what you do.  There is no guaranteed right to a public media platform for every political jerk out there.  And because the media will not reprint your offensive cartoon does not mean they are censoring you.  You are welcome to use other media besides television and newspapers to publish your cartoon.  Heck, these days, you'll probably reach more people putting it on the Internet than you would on television or newspapers (certainly newspapers).[/quote]
