Cartoonist Draws A Stupid Cartoon
Honestly. How can a professional be so stupid? There are only a few rules in editorial cartooning. One of them is that you can't draw Hispanics as pinatas (one that we learned a few months ago is that you can't insinuate that a monkey is African-American). Personally, I am not offended but that's only because I'm never offended. I can plainly see why others would be, and are, offended. This is a racist cartoon that likely only serves to stir up controversy for the cartoonist and the paper that printed it. I charge you with the task of not falling for it. Don't be upset, that's exactly what they want you to do. The cartoonist wants people to get angry because it will drive interest in what he's doing. The best way to ensure this stops happening is to simply ignore this cartoonist and stop giving him the attention he obviously wants.

Pantless Duck Is Really Old
On the lighter side, Donald Duck has now passed the 75 year mark. I can feel your excitement through my monitor.
Have yourself a nice day and don't forget to stop by tomorrow for your comic review needs.

The "racist" editorial cartoon? With your build up, xy, I was expecting something truly outrageous. That was mild. I don't think it was racist. Hell, I am so sick of the pc crowd anyway (as you can tell).
Oh, and the word verification I got for this was "beaner". Now THAT'S racist!
Number one, I don't find it racist. Number two, I don't understand what the point of it is supposed to be. Republicans hate the new judge, yes. But why is Obama the one egging them on? Is the cartoonist saying it's Obama's fault that the Republicans hate her? Is it Obama that strung her up? I don't get it.
Number three, Daffy could take Donald any day.
Yes, Arkholt, I agree with you. DAFFY ROCKS! I never quite understood Disney's cartoon characters. I only liked Looney Tunes.
As far as the "racist" cartoon, I believe it implies that Obama is DARING the repubs to "take a swing at her" nomination as the cartoonist erroneously believes it will backfire with Latinos.
