Can't you guys just hire a ventriloquist or something to fill in on the cheap until you find someone funny?
On the positive side, I can now see the cartoon while I'm commenting on it.
On the negative side, I can now see the cartoon while I'm commenting on it.
I dissent. Better than average.
win.
It's funny cause it's true.
Because there's nothing -- nothing! -- more racist than opposing a government takeover of health care proposed by a Congressional party dominated and led by rich white people.
The Anti-Obama Racist one was funnier.
REMEMBER ME IS BACK! [prays it works]
Dude on the right looks like Darwin from The Wild Thornberries.
Because there's nothing -- nothing! -- more racist than opposing a government takeover of health care proposed by a Congressional party dominated and led by rich white people.
Worth repeating
Why does everyone hate on the cartoonist?
This one is particularly funny in a sad sort of way. I originally dismissed the claim, "once Obama's president you'll be labeled a racist if you disagree with him". Now, that is sadly how the left dismiss opposing opinion.
Course, the one on the left was said to a foreign country, specifically Pakistan, which had been covertly supporting the Taliban. The one on the right is attempting to describe domestic politics.
I guess that since the DNC's position is that domestic politics "" just like the RNC's position on foreign policy, it works.
My friend, preview button, where have you gone?
"This is a struggle of good and evil. And we're the good."
This cartoon sucks less than threaded comments, but it's still racist.
I give this cartoon, and the new website layout, the worst grade imaginable: an A--.
Nice job on Carter's lips, and in general.
Sorry, but this is a good one. More sadly true than funny, but that works for political cartoons.
Without clicking on it, my guess would be that the guy in the picture is some public sector employee or group. And that thing right above him is the nipple from the public teat.
Now I'll look at the whole thing...
Actually that one's not bad. I may print it and leave it around the office.
On my Friday Funnies curve, this one comes in at about a "B+".
Best Friday Funny ever?
re: "Course, the one on the left was said to a foreign country, specifically Pakistan, which had been covertly supporting the Taliban."
And to many others.
Is that suppose to be Obama? Worst Caricature ev-er.
Not Funny
Relevant
Poor Artwork
Grade: D
Seriously, Warren? Obama?
Not funny, but sadly true. B-
Nice touch with the Nobel prize.
Nice art, cuts quickly to the truth. A solid B+.
I have to say it's one of Bok's better ones. Jimmy Carter looks funny too.
That's supposed to be Carter?
Big lips... Now I see it I think.
Racist.
I thought it was good.
Oh, and having your BOT automatically put in "Fail" on every friday funnies isn't...funny.
True, friday funnies is often not funny, but sometimes they are.
"Either you pretend racism doesn't exist or you are calling all dissent racist!"
It's all so black and white!
My only point is that if you take the Bible straight, as I'm sure many of Reasons readers do, you will see a lot of the Old Testament stuff as absolutely insane. Even some cursory knowledge of Hebrew and doing some mathematics and logic will tell you that you really won't get the full deal by just doing regular skill english reading for those books. In other words, there's more to the books of the Bible than most will ever grasp. I'm not concerned that Mr. Crumb will go to hell or anything crazy like that! It's just that he, like many types of religionists, seems to take it literally, take it straight...the Bible's books were not written by straight laced divinity students in 3 piece suits who white wash religious beliefs as if God made them with clothes on...the Bible's books were written by people with very different mindsets...in order to really get the Books of the Bible, you have to cultivate such a mindset, it's literally a labyrinth, that's no joke
equipments.
is good
