I haven't gotten to the bottom of this story, but Bill Hobbs, a great blogger who suspended operation of Bill Hobbs.com when he took a new job earlier this year, apparently has been forced to resign from Nashville's Belmont University because of a Muhammad cartoon he drew for his blog.
Details are sketchy, but Michelle Malkin reported this tonight, and that's good enough for me.
Bill's tip jars are on the top of his page.
Last summer I e-mailed Bill about Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church to protest two Tennessee soldier funerals. Back then the MSM was ignoring Phelps, believing that the cretin didn't deserve the attention he so richly craves. True to a point, but what about the families who had to cope with Phelps Pearl Harbor-type protest tactics?
Well no one was more surprised than Phelps himself last August when he got hit with a sneak attack against his hate group. Bill, through his Tennessee media contacts, got massive numbers of counterprotesters to confront Phelps, and the loons were literally run out of two Tennessee towns in one day.
Even AP took notice.
Great work, Bill.
During the 2004 election campaign, Hobbs produced excellent post after excellent post of insightful vote fraud stories.
Let's hope this talented man gets back to blogging soon.
