Human beings act as if they lived in the bottom of the sea. There is an approaching Category 5 hurricane. It is comprised of two ongoing wars, the worst economic crisis in 80 years, a healthcare system leading to bankruptcy and ruin, an energy crisis unresolved since 1973, thieves and liars everywhere ... and a total lack of consensus.<br /><br />One would think a town hall meeting or an open Internet forum such as this would be a fine place to have an honest and civil discussion.

Man...I get these emails forwarded to me also Shaw. Many of them come from Republican operatives in my area. They prove that the Republican party works to appeal to bigots. Idiots and homophobes. That righties defend these regardless of degree of bad taste or just out and out race baiting provides even more proof. <br /><br /><br /> The irony is that although I believe George W. Bush to be one of the worst presidents ever, I also believe the man didn't have a bigoted bone in his body.

They should apologize to the president and his family.<br /><br />Class less, ignorant, misguided idiots will say it is OK to do this, because people portrayed Bush as a chimp.<br />How many times did it portray Bush as being shot dead by policemen?????<br /><br />Wake up neocon idiots !!!!!!!! You want a war you can't and won't win ?????<br /><br />No matter who the person is being portrayed, showing them shot dead by the police is a sign of a Fascist/Nazi Mentality !!<br /><br /><br />Thank you for bringing this out and showing the ones on propeller who are the type to like this crap.

The person who sent it to your relative may have bad motives, but the cartoon itself just isn't racist.<br /><br />I saw the examples you posted last fall, and I agree they were racist. And recently, there was a lot of controversy when the "Joker" image of the president started circulating.<br /><br />The LA <i> Times </i> and Washington <i> Post </i> called the image racist--when the <i> Times </i> had had no problem with Bush depicted the same way in the past. Then the truth came out: the creator was a Kucinich supporter, not a right-wing racist. I suppose he could be a left-wing racist--they certainly exist in numbers--but again, that's reaching for something that probably isn't there.<br /><br />Let's reserve the outrage for the really outrageous things, eh?Gordon Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772014586181361069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-27690121743998064502009-08-25T15:23:37.829-04:002009-08-25T15:23:37.829-04:00There has been lots of talk here about Conservativ...There has been lots of talk here about Conservatives vs. Liberal.<br />Lets look at the picture.<br />Let us take a look at Ronald Reagan who the left said was the dumbest man ever to hold office. And Bill Clinton who the press said was the smartest man alive married to the smartest woman alive. Look at Ronald Reagans legacy. What is he remembered for? The most important Reagan economic legacy, of course, is the tax rate. When he came into office, federal tax rates reached 70%. As he left, the highest rate in the code was 33%. In foreign policy the Reagan record may prove to be the culmination of a forty-year Western effort to contain the expansion of the Soviet Empire. And he did. The Libs bring up Iran-Contra. This is just proof that they are ignorant to truths of war. In the Cold War as now the U.S. must do things with undesirables for the price of victory. It is useless to explain this to Liberals since they have no concept on how to win a war. Proven by the fact that they are famous for surrendering to the enemy before the fight is even over.<br /><br />Now lets look at Clintons Legacy. Monica, Monica, oh yeah Monica. Renting out the Lincoln Bedroom. Ushering in the Contract with America, presiding over the deaths of over 800.000 in Rwanda without lifting a finger. Sending Elian back to Cuba. Waco. And doing nothing to prevent a man called Osama Bin Laden from killing Americans around the world. And after knowing where this killers base was. doing nothing to take him out because of the fear that his poll numbers would be where George Bush’s are now. And failing to prevent 9/11, which planning was done under his watch.<br /><br />This brings us to the liberals next stupid POTUS George Bush. The Liberals claim this guy is dumber than Reagan who beat them at every turn. George Bush beat Al Gore the messiah of the left. The prophet who say’s we have ten years before we are all living in house boats while he burns a carbon footprint that would take 100.000 common Americans to burn a month. He beat John Kerry who has changed his mind every five minutes on Iraq and is such a joke now that Liberals begged him not to run in 08. He has destroyed the Liberal leadership in Congress so bad that the approval rating for that congress is the worst in history 18%.<br /><br />“If liberals were prevented from ever again calling Republicans dumb, they would be robbed of half their arguments,” Ann Coulter writes. “To be sure they would still have racist, fascist, homophobe, ugly, and a few other highly nuanced arguments in their quiver.” But not having “dumb” to throw around, she says, “would nearly cripple them. Like clockwork, every consequential Republican to come down the pike is instantly, invariably, always, without exception called dumb. “Noting that this is exactly the way six-year-olds argue, that they call everything “stupid,” Coulter says the lefts resort to the “stupid” stratagem comes out of its inability to mount an intelligent counter-argument when faced with undeniable facts.<br /><br />Liberals especially hate being called “liberal,” because they know it describes a “dastardly individual.” They prefer Progressive for now. So again are Liberals really so dumb that they must refer to their enemies as dumb? I’m waiting for them to say how dumb this sounds.Mikehttp://www.facebook.com/mike.j.a.austinnoreply@blogger.com
