The Washington Times is owned by the Moonies, not the Post.

Re: Is This Blasphemy?

From Wikipedia:

In 1992, the PBS investigative news program Frontline suggested that the Post had moved to the right in response to its smaller, more conservative rival The Washington Times. The program quoted Paul Weyrich, one of the founders of the conservative activist organization the Moral Majority, as saying "The Washington Post became very arrogant and they just decided that they would determine what was news and what wasn't news and they wouldn't cover a lot of things that went on. And The Washington Times has forced the Post to cover a lot of things that they wouldn't cover if the Times wasn't in existence."[13] In 2008, Thomas F. Roeser of the Chicago Daily Observer also mentioned competition from the Washington Times as a factor moving the Post to the right.[14]

Re: Is This Blasphemy?

I don't think it is blasphemous but it is highly offensive. There has been no mention of Palin speaking in tongues or claiming a direct line to God. This is not funny at all.

Yes it is blasphemous, especially the way they portrayed God.

Does anyone know who the "artist" is?

And yes, IMO, it is blasphemous.

Highly offensive and irreverant enough that it does rise to the level of blasphemy in my opinion.

You are correct. Thanks!

I'd have to go with ignorant and in poor taste, but I wouldn't consider it blasphemy.
