That second one is pretty good.

could replace obama with someone else and it could easily pass as any political wing cartoon

Yeah, it's not really about Obama, is it?

not rightwing i don't think, but certainly fascinating

Monte Wolverton! I first saw his stuff in a Summer 1978 issue of "The Best of CARtoons," so I just think of him as a CARtoons artist. Always weird seeing his sig in a political cartoon.

don't sully monte's name! whoever he is. that is by some dude named jon mcnaughton.

No, Monte did the Egypt cartoon upthread.

was lollin at this

yeah, its like at the end of lucas's latest version of return of the jedi, he has reappeared as a ghostly vision of himself at his best

So are Clinton, FDR and Theodore Roosevelt applauding Obama's desecration of John Adam's shopping list there?

Of course, although according to the artist, "It is not a partisan painting. I take no favoritism of Republicans or Democrats. Both parties are guilty."

JFK looks conflicted. standing in a group of mostly 'good presidents', but clearly tempted by Obama.

conversely, W., tho positioned right at the edge of the Clinton/Obama/Roosevelt axis of evil, looks particularly concerned about the sad man, and perhaps eager to redeem himself.

Isn't Teddy Roosevelt liked by neo-cons, or have I got my facts wrong?

Also weird that the guy who led the US to victory against Hitler is reviled for some vaguely socialist policies that actually demonstrably sorted shit out.

This is all view from abroad BTW, call me up if I'm being ignorant about anything.

TR is borderline - you'd think they'd like his somehwat tough-talking bent but he's too associated with progressivism here, which as everybody knows, is merely the first step down the path to communism.

think the guy to the right of FDR is the demon headmaster? not sure

Woodrow Wilson/Demon Headmaster/Jack Straw, who knows?

definitely the worst 'where's wally' ever

You'd think Washington would be wondering what the big building behind him was?

he's hiding behind a chimney pot, having just lowered old glory to half mast

xpost

conversely, W., tho positioned right at the edge of the Clinton/Obama/Roosevelt axis of evil, looks particularly concerned about the sad man, and perhaps eager to redeem himself.

I think he's more like, "Wait, isn't that President, um, you know...?"

Just like FDR to be all "fuck that unemployed asshole, he can bootstrap himself out of poverty."

whereas John Adams is like "dude look at all this money on the ground, you sure you don't want to pick any of this up? hell I'd do it myself if I wasn't, like, a ghost"

Isn't Teddy Roosevelt liked by neo-cons, or have I got my facts wrong?

Good old Daily Mail
http://plixi.com/p/77547872

fwiw that's a reference to a hotel that put a sign up saying the same thing [ie a witty topical reference], as opposed to throwing 'poofters' around w/o any context

it always seems quite lame how the cartoon is just a pictorial version of one of Liljon's joeks from the column mind you

haven't read a paper copy of the mail in ages but the layout/font/graphics seem unchanged since about 1995

they're #1 why try harder

littlejohn walks a weird tightrope in his tone. between "who cares, this is absurd, who could keep up with, or be bothered about any of this PC nonsense" and "OMG this is outrageous, think of the children finding out what a gay is"

I may be the last person to learn this but I only found out last night that Littlejohn lives in a gated community in Florida and gets all his hysterical hell-in-handcart stuff from an ocean away. If you read about a columnist in a novel who did that you'd think it was very clumsy satire.

YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP!!!

Ha ha. Quite.

vicious anti-little-person hatemongering

http://www.conservapedia.com/images/6/6f/Liberal_reality.jpg

When conservatives put pen to paper, they misspell Def Leppard.

Key ploy of batshit rightwing cartoonists seems to be taking all the arguments used against them and switching the words conservative and liberal, 'har those liberals look they are devoid of intelligence' etc. I'd love to know how they respond when people point out that their batshit rightwing cartoons don't actually make any sense.

They don't, generally. They usually reply with something along the lines of "It speaks for itself. GOO DAY."

http://global.nationalreview.com/images/cartoon_041111_A.jpg

that one is kind of awesome because obama has like no hair

which president had the shortest hair?

prolly obama and eisenhower

minus powdered wigs?

http://www.venturausd.org/balboa/Anter/SSN/Andrew_Jackson/Pictures/MartinVanBuren.jpg

btw, from the page where I found that:
Andrew Jackson

Me in a nutshell
My nickname is “Old Hickory.”

My Early Days
I was 13 during the Revolutionary War and a British soldier left me with a scar because I wouldn’t clean his boots

In 1806, after being shot myself, I shot and killed Charles Dickinson, a man who insulted my wife’s character in a duel.

Major Battles And Wars
Creek War: As General of the Tennesse Volunteer Militia I led
my country to victory in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend

War of 1812: Even though the war was technically over 2
weeks before, I became a war hero after winning the
Battle of New Orleans. I should have Tweeted it!

As President
Won the election of 1828 after a bitter defeat to John Quincy
Adams…(cough) cheater…

I was a popular president for the “common man”

I had a fiery temper. It was my way or the highway!

I promoted my buddies to high positions, aka “The Spoils System”

“The Kitchen Cabinet” is because I held meetings with my advisors
in the kitchen of the President’s Mansion.

Signed the Indian Removal Act which, removed Native Americans to the West of the Mississippi.

I kept the United States intact when South Carolina wanted to
secede during the Nullification Crisis.

During my 2nd term I fought and “killed” the 2nd National Bank in
1834. Take that Nick Biddle!

Won re-election in 1832 by crushing Henry Clay. That’s what you
get for rigging my 1824 campaign!

Activities And Interest
Gambling, Brawling, Dueling, Slaveowning, Fighting the British
and Native Americans, Intimidating Political Opponents

Controversies
I was a slave owner

I hung British officers while fighting the Seminoles in Spanish
controlled Florida

The Trail of Tears and the death of about 4,000 Cherokee
Natives was primarly caused by my Indian Removal Act

By killing the National Bank, I may have mistakenly caused the
Panic of 1837. My bad Van Buren!

Fun Facts About Me
I was the 1st President to be born in a log cabin.

I preferred to be called “General” instead of “Mr. President.”

I liked the term Jackass so much that I made it the
symbol for the Democratic Party

I was the 1st President to pay off the National Debt

I was the 1st President to ride on a railroad.

I was the 1st President to marry a woman who had been divorced.

I was the 1st President to survive an assassination attempt

I lived with 2 bullets in my body

My tenure as president would later be known as the “Age of
Jackson.” Pretty cool huh?

Political Views
As a Jacksonian Democrat, I am a leader for the common people.

Religious Views
Presbyterian

Quotes
“Let the people rule!”

“To the victor go the spoils.” Not my quote but I do rather enjoy it!

“By the Eternal! I’ll smash them!”

“The Bank is trying to kill me, but I will kill it.” – I said this to my VP Martin Van Buren

Activities And Interest
Gambling, Brawling, Dueling, Slaveowning, Fighting the British
and Native Americans, Intimidating Political Opponents

The Trail of Tears and the death of about 4,000 Cherokee
Natives was primarly caused by my Indian Removal Act. My bad Cherokee!

guys AFROBAMA is smoking a cig in clear defiance of posted "no smoking" sign DO YOU SEE

They just recaptioned a Mod Squad promotional poster, didn't they?

I like how the Trail of Tears is a "controversy" like there is a legit argument for killing 4,000 people.

They were blocking his view!

guys AFROBAMA is smoking a cig in clear defiance of posted "no smoking" sign DO YOU SEE

http://i56.tinypic.com/11jxd6s.jpg

k I've been staring at that cartoon for fully two minutes and I have nfi what point it is making

I was thinking the same thing.

I don't know who the guy with the red hair is, I don't know why he's holding an interoffice envelope, I don't know why obama is stealing an xbox

Obama's tax hikes (that don't exist) or spending sprees (that haven't happened) are like taking your hard-earned home electronics from your living room in the dead of night - (remember - TAXES ARE THEFT!) but he's mollifying you with his real long-form birth certificate, presented by his stooge Conan O'Brien.

But uh... yeah, portraying our African-American president as a burglar of televisions certainly isn't racist at all...

I think the dude with the red hair is from that Bill Watterson painting.

so obama has turned up at their house with Mark Zuckerburg Conan O'Brien, smashed everything, stolen some electronics, asked Mark Conan to produce a fake birth certificate from an interoffice envelope

and the woman sleeps in a statue of liberty headpiece

where did they get a a purple old-school X-Box

same place he buys his uncle sam hats

the x-box is obviously modded and is that poor family's media center. The spent $200 about 7 years ago and damned if their going to buy a 3rd gen console... how can they with all their income going to socialist taxes?

and patriot hats

xxp: the things you can pick up at a Prince garage sale

LOL

It also elides the fact that conceivably the majority of Mr and Mrs America there voted for the burgler.

What do the demands for his birth certificate have to do with the displeasure with his management of money or taxes?

Like as if he gave them that instead of what they were REALLY asking for.

The right-wing narrative is now that they were neither birthers nor pandering to them and their "distractions".

Hey wait, little dude w/interoffice is Geithner, isn't it?

Geithner's not ginger though is he?

not in the slightest

http://www.teluglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/tim-geithner.jpg

wait, next to him is a jar full of money that has been dislodged and spilt maybe 2% of its contents onto the floor, that might be a clue

(to the cartoon as a whole, not to the ginger revisionism)

i think the lil redhead is supposed to be obama's accomplice, so either the press or 'liberals'

Wtf is he supposed to be then? I don't know why I bother. The cartoon is obtuse and not even remotely funny nor insightful.

or just a dramatic contrivance -- you can't very well make obama a housebreaker with his hands full, and have him hand the couple the certificate himself! that just wouldn't make any sense.

i think the point is if the guy is wrecking your house and taking your shit, if he's a natural born us citizen it doesn't much matter. the cartoon is from the 'obama loves the birther distraction' school.

That would require a dexterity Mr. Lester doesn't wish to convey. Obama and his accomplice seem like pretty shoddy burglers imho.

xpost

yeah but

also why does it say "molester" in the top right-hand corner

I thought it was Geithner too, although in retrospect I really don't know why.

Timothy Geithner looks like an alien or demon in that picture, or a less ridiculous and therefore more terrifying version of Wes Borland.

Which is what that cartoon is intended for convey, for all I can tell.

duh it is the forgotten red headed stepchild apparatchik that is the liberal media

Friend of mine made these points:

- the fat couple represents the US
- Obama is ransacking their house, i.e. the US
- the jar of money represents US liquid assets
- the birth certificate arrived via internal mail (the ginge dude is just some dude)

i.e. there's a ~metaphor~ at work here, however batshit it is

Certificate clearly came out of the envelope. He is just there, as stated above, to be a way to have the certificate handed to the couple so Obama can have his hands full. Forgetting to make him based on anybody real is the most idiotic mistake- how hard would that have been?

i'm guessing that guy started out as robin to obama's batman, then the artist remembered batman wasn't a burglar but left the little guy in anyway

well he got the fat conservative dopes right

i'm guessing that guy started out as robin to obama's batman, then the artist remembered batman wasn't a burglar but left the little guy in anyway

Robin isn't ginger either! (Unless you count Carrie Kelly from DKR.)

omg:
http://www.diversitylane.com/images/samples/Diversity%20Lane_I%20dont%20like%20you_purple.jpg

I presume the point is 'who cares where you were born (we certainly never), we only cared about you tax-theft. How dare you use the document we've been winging about for your entire presidency to distract us from you communism'. As for the ginger guy, no idea. As a ginger guy myself I'll put it down to the same kind of prejudice that made Judas and other 'villains' red-headed. :(

Not sure if this guy is right wing or not:

the Family Guy cutaway where the virgins were all nerdy teenage boys strikes me as a simpler and better way of doing that joke

the version of that joke where nobody makes it because it's stupid is my favorite

Nah mock that shit 4life imo

Farington's a dick. Clinton gets no credit and even if you based it on the number of years served before OBL's death, it's 80% to 20% instead of this shit he just lazily pulls out of his ass.

How fun and cartoony! But with a point.

Licking his lips like he's building a house of cards.

that is like beyond bathshit, imho.

that tongue -- it's like cartooning has gone from Charlie Brown making Valentine's Day cards to waterboarding.

Its very thought provoking... but with goofy characters and bright colors! What fun.

In a way, haven't we ALL been "waterboarded", e.g. jumping into a swuimming pool? Makes you think...

Once, I cracked under pressure and gave away the location of Marco Polo.

Femologists.

I like the way our right-wing hero looks like a canine version of a fusty old colonel blimp-a-like.

So while reading these, you are supposed to sip your coffee from this:

http://www.lonenutcomics.com/mug.png

Dude seems very fixated on standing up for rapists, it's like his favorite topic.

this is by no means a new point, but i wonder how self-conscious the adoption of Leftist tropes by the Right (or while/male/christian dominant culture) really is. seems like something really complex must be going on, or maybe they just do it to be annoying. like little kids obsessively worrying about "fairness" only when it effects them negatively.

It's all victimization. This and the other right wing thread, it's pretty much the main common theme running through everything.

I can't rip myself away from this guy's site. The 'jokes' are so poorly executed, even if you agreed with the politics (and I don't think even most Republicans would), it would take several minutes to eek out the punchline. And then you realise the message is almost always "black people are just pretending about racism", "women, they sure are a bunch of violent bitches, huh?", "diversity gives you AIDS" or some such. All with these lurid comic sans-speaking poodles and crocs. Mental. Terrifying.

"Readers who've yet to escape the equality Matrix tend to misunderstand our cartoons. Here's the cheat sheet for this comic: If women continue to vote even more foolishly than men, these women or their daughters could end up with leaders that will take back the female right to vote and a great deal more".

Oh, okay...

geez, don't think even Hegel himself could make sense of that reversal

i mean, obv the use of "new fags" on this site is p much a dead giveaway that it's 4chan-style trolling, but A+

in fairness, "throw tampons at them" is good advice regardless of the situation

Hard not to imagine this dude creating all these at a frantic pace in one late-night session after a drunk text gone horribly wrong.

there is a strong current in right wing thought that feminism and political liberty has ruined american women and if you want quality white girls you have to go to eastern europe, or get yourself an asian.

it's not exactly national review-level mainstream but you don't have to dig deep to find this sentiment

intentionally missing the point of the south park bit is A++ trolling

i'm waiting for the logic of one of these guys to get so pretzeled up that "having sex with a woman" is just too gay

Another layer of irony there is that the guy's website is basically a digital version of an 8 year old boy's "Why Girls Are Poo-Poo Heads" list.

is that "irony" or "expected, unsurprising impression"

there's something weird about being reasonably invested in the design element of this kinda thing, like it is just a hate slogan but you use three fonts & some clip art & gradient shading to really hammer it home

here's a different kind of cartoon, guaranteed to blow minds

http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/SherfJ201109071.jpg

I love it when these guys get going on "American women" - they have this idea of Russian & Asian women as this paradigm of servility

by "I love it" I mean that it makes me want to commit suicide

p certain that the american democrat party is in that space.

What are the politics of a guy who considers the Republicans far right yet the Democrats centre left?

david frum

Sorry, meant to say "solid left".

are we saying that the Dems are center-right?
xpost!

This misogyny goes beyond politics and right into that thread published here years ago with big breasted rabbit creatures being told how stupid they are.

I have no idea on how to search for that, and I'm really hoping it wasn't just my imagination.

At least that cartoonist recognizes that the Republicans now occupy "far right" without any hint of moderation. Probably a "Scoop Jackson" admirer.

There's a fella who has taken on the unenviable task of documenting/deconstructing that particular brand of misogyny at his (stupidly named) blog manboobz.com. It's a real thing.

I made it about five minutes at that blog, that's like reading those anti-islam blogs level of toxic

It's very rare that you encounter misogyny all KKK-style, so it's really jarring (even if, as Whiney prob rightly says, it's A+ trolling). Gets past the callouses built up by the "I love women, but why do they all have to be such terrible dumb whores, but I mean I love women" shit that is fucking everywhere.

This thread has taught me that the American Republicans are represented by an elephant with a handle.

oh wait, it's just the elephant, never mind

On this subject, I just so happened to read this in the comments section on the Age's article about kids who have zero empathy/are v aggresive.

"In a recent article on this very site, there was a report on American research which showed that if it was one's unfortunate fate to be murdered, your most likely murderer is your mother and on the day you are born. These figures were based on the known incidences of such murders but the researchers also realised that they only knew about the tip of the iceberg. It is also well known that mothers generally favour their daughters and start to urge a son out of the family nest by the time he is about 14. How can they say it is not mother's fault, at least in part.
From personal experience, which counts for much more than the "Aren't women wonderful" myth, women are cold, calculating untrustworthy ... well, just plain evil creatures. There is plenty of research to back that up and for those so inclined, it is one of the first lessons of the bible. Don't label me as a religious nut - I'm not, just informed.
I have never known a moment's tenderness from a woman - mother or wife included no matter how I tried.
NO MORE."

The ... blank, unshifting bitterness made me shudder deeply.

whaaaaaaaaa

it was a clever hybrid of an elephant and a tea-pot GET IT?

oh ugh god

Democrats today say the donkey is smart and brave, while Republicans say the elephant is strong and dignified.

and slow

and stubborn... oh wait.

okay basically anything I could say about the republicans and elephants has been done, hasn't it xp

Basically, of all the animals in the world they could have chosen, both sides made a terrible decision.

reminds me of

Wait, did I just say that out loud?

hi dere out of context thread

your most likely murderer is your mother and on the day you are born

I have little doubt that the "American research" this guy cited in Trayce's post was originally floated as anti-abortion propaganda, which he is adapting to become misogynist propaganda.

that schef post is truly classic

It's also essentially true

Yeah that was how I read it too, in fact I had to re read it to twig he said "on the day you were born" because it was a muddled point.

wait how is birth control against freedom?

it's free birth control silly, which means stealing gajillions in tax revenues from hard-working plutocrats

not the plutocrats!

if we have a 2012 thread can it be called 'assholes with pens'

Birth control is free in the US? Really?

It will, in the future, be covered by all health insurance plans. So, for some people who don't pay for their health insurance, yes, but for most, who do in one form or another, no.

that first one... jesus

i mean, i hope the cartoonist knows that birth control pills are not actually inserted into a woman's uterus, for starters

and why is she writing on the outside of the bathroom door

I wouldn't be too sure about that

xpost

birth control is a useful medication that helps keep health costs lower on the national level
equating birth control with "paying for you to have sex" is so tremendously fucked I don't even know where to start
i know this isn't the thread for this stuff but that whole line of argument makes me so goddamn angry

sandra fluke is v v pretty btw

yes she is

also yeah the birth control "issue" (and limbaugh's totally disgusting response) is making me angrier than usual

Fwiw I'd rather pay people to have sex than pay people to drop bombs.

oh man, do you get it? it's funny bc leftists think they're so tolerant but they'll still cheer when terrible person dies and complain about sexists. what fucking hypocrites.

My favourite right-wing line of attack: Oh you lefties say you're so TOLERANT and COMPASSIONATE and DECENT but sometimes you are not those things, whereas we're happy to be total shits 24 hours a day, which makes us morally better if you think about it.

Mordy, I hate to break it to you, but cheering at a person's death is still considered extremely rude by large swaths of humanity, unless that person was objectively as terrible as your average serial killer, and even then you should keep the cheers to a brief and decorous, unless you were related to that person's victims.

Haven't been tuned into politics the last few days. Was there a bunch of cheering? Or is this the usual finding a couple jerks on the other side and blowing it out of proportion?

Probably the usual couple of jerks blown out of proportion. I didn't see much of it, although I saw much satisfaction expressed, which is a milder form of the same thing. But here Mordy seemed to be sliding toward saying that actual cheering was justified in Beetbort's case, because he was "terrible".

There was a lot of crowing on Twitter and a couple of high-profile writers - Taibbi, Yglesias - who took the reap-what-you-sow line, esp irt to Breitbart's comments on Ted Kennedy's death. I was with the latter.

gross

Oh, and quite a lot of crowing on the ILX thread too.

https://twitter.com/#!/mattyglesias/status/175244006505193474

That's pretty in line with the main message behind modern Conservatism: "I am a victim."

Reload this entire thread, I'm pretty sure 90% of the cartoons can be boiled down to that essential message.

By your own admission, expression satisfaction is just a milder version of cheering, so let's not get all excited about parsing the thinnest of lines.

Brokerin' ain't easy.

"recreational sex"!

Do these guys literally think "GONNA PUT A BABY IN THERE, GONNA MAKE A BABY SO HARD" during sex?

I'd venture the vast majority of human sexual activity is recreational. Like, does everyone stop having sex after they don't want any more kids?

I see in the news that a lot of these guys prefer professional sex

WAAAH

hahah wow that's pretty impressive

we're not sure why but this incident makes us angry at obama

i mean there's likely a case to be made that the "like my son would have looked" distracts from the necessary political change of revoking stand your ground laws in favor of drawing attention to america hardly being postracial or whatever but suggesting that bam was playing the situation for cheap political theater and that the entirety of your response to the trayvon martin case is "look at that horrible politician pandering" is kind of ridiculous and spectacularly offensive and omg i am trying to reasonably respond to that fucking thing, forget it

http://www.cagle.com/2012/03/cartoonist-criticizes-obama-for-politicizing-trayvon-martin-murder/

Bridget R.: “I’ll play devils advocate and ask anyone to give me an example of other presidents talking in the media about a local murder case. I’ll wait.”

speculating wildly but i would assume Reagan got asked about Bernie Goetz, Clinton about OJ, and not to mention presidents talking in the media about local medical cases (every abortion ever) ugh why i am i arguing with the internet about some idiot quoted as making a comment about a cartoon

I can always tell when my critics have no substantive argument to make in their defense, for that’s when the shallow charges of “horrible cartoonist” and “racist” start to fly.

Nixon about Manson...

Yeah, I posted the LA Times cover w/Nixon and Manson in the other thread. And that one was wild, because Manson got hold of a copy of that paper, snuck it into the courtroom and showed it to the jury.

gratifying to see the facebook comments beneath the carton are almost entirely negative, and think it to be incredibly offensive

thousands of spastic, hyperventilating leftists reached for their inhalers in unison, collectively raising CO2 levels, and melting the polar ice caps. All the while I celebrate their anger sitting in my comfy arm chair and watching the ice melt in my glass of scotch, with a warm, smug grin on my face.

Dictionary definition of trolling. Except, no, when he's not making jokes about Rosie O'Donnell's weight he apparently has "substantive" arguments to make. Choose one, man: either you've got a serious political point or you're just another member of the shithead army looking for a reaction.

He rolls out another classic in his defence of the Sandra Fluke cartoon:

it struck me as deliciously ironic that many of the tolerant, compassionate liberals who took issue with my supposedly portraying Miss Fluke as a “slut” and “prostitute”, and with my lack of civility, did so by calling me every vulgar name in the book and making death threats against me

"Deliciously ironic"

The bizarreness of Obama stating that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon is nearly unfathomable.

Yeah, how is this unfathomable?

Obama obv should not care whether Trayvon was black, white, yellow, purple...

deliciously ironic

this strain of 'you're no better than me' rhetoric is so flaccid and lazy and gross, the worst type of trolling imho

for a thread, and a community, that spends a lot of time ingesting right-wing rhetoric, y'all are not v facile w/the imagery

lemme spell it out for you: n-a-n-n-y s-t- fuck it nevermind

cartoonist says he's riffing on gay green lantern, etc.

"Captain America came out against the Tea Party, Green Lantern just came out. The comic book industry is becoming nothing more than another leftist enterprise, poisoning truth, justice and the American way."

i did not know that 'ab/dl' had become right-wing code for the social security state.

though i do remember a daily mail-style story about a guy with that fetish who tried to claim disability, i think?

i didn't even know what 'ab/dl' was, but there was a pretty appreciable gestalt at work i think

if yr gonna take a walk down the slippery slope, and defend so-called moralism, then yeah, fetishists and furries will scan to the right as avatars of the degenerate left-wing usurpers of life as it was and ought to be.

the slippery colon of degenerate behavior

AB/DL is defined at the bottom of the cover.

"bottom"

Well done, sir.

i didn't even know what 'ab/dl' was, but there was a pretty appreciable gestalt at work i think

yeah i think it is part of the fine tradition of batshit rightwing cartoons that often the whole is fairly comprehensible even when the specifics are completely nonsensical.

and yet the only politician with a known diaper fetish is tea party sympathizer and admitted whoremonger Sen. David Vitter

maybe??? http://rebuildingfreedom.org/2011/10/25/nanny-state-to-the-nth-degree-connecticut-officials-push-washington-to-offer-free-diapers-to-poor-mothers/

The comic book industry is becoming nothing more than another leftist enterprise

So they'll only celebrate free enterprise when it agrees with them ideologically?

"Tax money should not go to poor mothers, it should only be spent on bombs and drones!"

Seriously i hate this effing country. That 'entitlements' and 'socialism' can never be mentioned when it comes to the defense budget or corporate handjobs or PACs really just underscores how arbitrary those terms are for me. That people really believe this stuff is just really upsetting on a daily basis.

Comic content, meh. Caricature of Obama is completely WTF!

it looks like he's speaking from his ears, which resemble some sort of alien mouth

I see he's been drawn similarly a few times upthread, but those were under the cut. afaict, Obama has a pretty normally shaped head irl. Why are they turning him into a banana with ears...oh, wait...banana...ape...I see.

cartoon characters be homophobic

that seems like a pretty normal joke.

Not so much normal as cliche beyond recognition, and the punchline's delivery is breathtakingly labored.

that a mallard strip has a (dreadfully unfunny) punchline at all is a radical evolution for this most pathetic of comic strips

I have to admit, the guy has some drafting skills, he's like a wingnut PBF. I especially like the irony in the first one where he's treating Trayvon sympathetically by aligning him with the Constitution.

Yeah that one is horrible. A fat black woman who eats potato chips could NEVER get into college on her own!

Aren't white women like the single largest college demographic?

Racism? You guys are nuts -- it's obviously a lesson in how to behave. Although the blonde looks like she's a shoo-in for the spot at "College", she ends up being passed over because she's obviously an angry shrew who'll cause no end of grief -- so the spot goes to the docile-looking lady instead.
There's likely some comment on patriarchal institutions as well.

New cognitive dissonance. OWS protests are violent and disruptive unlike right wing protests who know buying their favorite brand is the right way to do it. Unless that brand is Starbucks. Also, violence should be celebrated if it's seen as for a right wing cause.

guy i went to middle school with who's a gun nut now posted this on facebook and i don't even understand it. what is this trying to say?

http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/431542_387897581277795_1307622759_n.jpg

I guess he's saying that if everyone is Armed and Aware of Guns, there will be less shootings because return fire?

something about good people and bad people

We are constantly suppressing the irresistible urge to shoot each other, and only by shooting at people-shaped targets can we satisfy that urge in non-murderous ways?

I'm tempted to buy a gun and go on a spree at a shooting range just to catch those motherfuckers by surprise. It's literally the last thing they'd ever expect.

THEY SAID YOU'D HAVE TO BE CRAZY NOW WHO'S THE CRAZY ONE?!?!?!

that nonsense is couched in some "eye for an eye" shit where there's a sub-belief that we'd be fast to kill anyone who started shooting and not be as dependent on our govt run policeforce and WHY OH WHY can't we just go back to martial law and jim crow

it's just a restatement of "if guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns"

Plus mixed in with a little "if global warms why iz it snows?" type thinking - - - I mean, I would imagine mass shootings happen in "gun free zones" because these zones tend to be public places where masses can be found.

Also betrays a total disinterest in day-to-day gun violence (ie what the gun-free zones are interested in), which is widespread and lends itself to being understood structurally, in favor of isolated episodes of media interest, which lend themselves to being understood anecdotally, getting inside the killer's twisted mind, etc. etc.

Never forget:

http://i.imgur.com/YFJCN.jpg

see what's funny to me about that is that you could read it as a triumphant---smug, even---liberal cartoon, and definitely as a disappointed rightwing smdh @ u romney piece

"romney's been getting hit really hard on the issue of 'being a nice person' and guess what? he doesn't have any knucks of his own! why don't you have them, dude??"

doubly funny is how confusing the whole dumb metaphor is: brass knuckles = dirty chicago politics, fine, but "taking the gloves off" usually means "let's REALLY get into it, none of this padded gloves garbage"

and maybe "really getting into it" is like let's go MAN to MAN on the ISSUES, but here it could be an appeal to really dig up more half-assed birth certificate friends with terrorists bullshit on obama, i dunno. or maybe it just means "romney's ready to quit."

so, is Obama winning in a fight that should end, because he's cheating, so we can go back to talking about the issues? or is it time to take the gloves off so the people can see a REAL fight, with blood and guts? or is Romney losing at something he literally does not know how to do (cannot do, because he's gotta be nice), and now wants to quit?

gbx, don't you want the several minutes you spent analyzing that cartoon back?

i was bored!

j/k. It's a disingenuous cartoon and not funny or insightful

right, but it's so meaningless as to not really be that batshit to me, like even the cartoonists don't know what to do with this

The "nice person" bubble of text throws the interpretation in either direction to me.
