That's not saying much, though: everything can be considered an act of violence when interpreted by twisted minds. You can get assaulted just for merely looking at someone's wife.
I am just shocked to hear a CNN representative say that we should find ways to avoid offending people with words: this is not just a futile endeavor, it's a very dangerous one that leads to thought police and arbitrary sentences.
Propaganda using cartoons has been used at all levels of oppression from small groups targeting Others to genocide.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that a cartoon is not an act of violence - because they can be.
(Just for clarity: this does not mean they should be banned)
