In 2005 a Danish Magazine, in an attempt to combat self-censorship, published cartoons on Muhammad. Although the cartoons were quite innocuous there were riots throughout the muslim world and death threats sent to the publisher and the cartoonists. Many newspapers, such as the New York Times, to their ever-lasting shame, refused to stand in solidarity with Jyllands-Posten and republish the cartoons themselves.
For a while, during the summer of 2009, a story - sparked by a Kill Obama Facebook page - was circulating that hostility towards Obama was reaching unprecedented levels. The subtle, or not so subtle underplay, was that opposition to, and hostility toward, Obama was racially motivated. Ha! You think the NYTs would have been all peaches and cream if the new president was Condoleeza Rice?
