Following up last year’s Tea Party Coloring Book for Kids, the Really Big Coloring Book Company of St. Louis, MO, has published We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids’ Book of Freedom, just in time for the 10th anniversary of September 11. According to its website, the book is designed “to be a tool that parents can use to help teach children about the facts surrounding 9/11,” the facts being that 9/11 was carried out by “freedom-hating radical Islamic Muslim extremists.” Got that? Not just Muslim extremists, but Islamic Muslim extremists. Freedom-hating radical ones, to be exact. To the max. That's, like, five times the evil.

Happily, the book is up-to-date enough to include a depiction of Osama Bin Laden cowering behind some poor abused freedom-hating Islamic Muslim radical extremist lady while the invisible hand of God guides the heroic American liberty-bullet of truth toward its sniveling and cowardly target. Publisher Wayne Bell told Talking Points Memo that the depiction of Osama’s execution carries an important message for the kidz. "If you bomb our country, America will chase you 'til the very end," he said. "That's what it shows." Then he unloaded six rounds into the ceiling.

On Really Big’s website, one testimonial reads, in part, “One of my friends looked at the book and he just stared at it and said wow, this is more than a kids coloring book.” Indeed it is, anonymous crazy person, indeed it is.
