multiple-pulitzer prize-winning scumbag michael ramirez, everybody.

Well, at least he didn't depict Hasan to suit his own stereotypes.

i dun get it

"Obama is an appeaser and soft on terrorism. Obama's administration didn't do anything to stop this guy because of political correctness."

ah. lame. did it turn out the shooter was on a jihad then or is this guy just a cunt?

"A shooting occurred. Obama was president at the time. Therefore Obama caused the shooting and is pleased about it."

I haven't been following the news. They were talking on the news about financial connections and some of the things he said and people he talked with online. They've indicated that he was upset about the Iraq war and being deployed and remarks against him for his religion and ethnicity. I haven't heard anything that suggested it being an organized attack, or there being a conspiracy. I think the FBI was investigating or had investigated him, or at least collected data about him, before the shootings.

I mean, he could have been depressed and at the end of his rope, and the thought of going to Iraq and possibly killing Muslims maybe helped push him toward the nihilistic feelings required to shoot a lot of people in some likely suicidal last act.

xpost, yeah, that

See, that's their problem, they're not using name brand whitewash.

I don't get it. Werewolf samurai? Trade "partners"?

I believe the very japanese looking samurai is meant to be china, and the crazy person is commenting on Obama being very respectful when meeting the bank manager.

Between this and all the Mexican references in the Sotomayor caricatures upthread, one might suspect that they're doing this on purpose. Say you're drawing a cartoon that's basically a racist pastiche, then you throw in a piñata to represent Portoricans, or a samurai to represent the Chinese, as if to say: Nips, Chinks, same difference, eh?

(I might be overthinking this.)

that's meant to be CHINA???

It might just be The Mysterious Orient.

whats up w/ obama's alien skull head

i think u mean kenyan

I like how Colbert's response to this kind of criticism is always to show George W Bush kissing and holding hands w Saudi Arabian prince. That needs to be out there more, apparently.

bowing deeply as he shook hands with Emperor Akihito, raised ire among Obama's conservative US foes who accused him of kowtowing to the son of Japan's wartime Emperor Hirohito.

o wait was ed kidding about china. im dumb

Someone on the Beeb over the weekend was saying that Obama had to bow deeply to the japanese as he is so much taller. A small bow would not really register. (it's a stupid argument to be having in any case)

man huge lolz @ obama's total glee in beer summit 2

suzy mentioned this on the GOP thread: apparently u have to get yr head below the head of the person to whom you are bowing

also, i still think the cartoonist is confused---do we have some crazy trade imbalance w/Japan such that they are "partners" and not partners? or is he conflating the bow to Akihito w/our economic relationship with China? if so: batshit

wow, so intent on being panicky, stupid, fearful and unpatriotic and so fucking smug about it.

Quinn: 0
Durbin: ≡

Disturbing how Obama's head (in the bowing to Samurai toon) is just a brown skull.

Has anyone suggested that the trials will create jobs, rather than attempt to establish a just treatment of everyone?

The NYTimes had a piece discussing the economic benefits to illinois of having the prison to hold Gitmo inmates.

But there's so few of them, and the infrastructure must already be in place - I guess I think that the new 'cost effectiveness' arguments are just another way of saying that 'they' shouldn't have due process.

Spaghetti and hot dogs!

I'm looking this article up right now, because what you said makes no bleeding sense at all, and I still have some faith the NYTimes editors to cut things that are just the absurd ravings of a tin-foil-wearing righ-winger. Please, don't take this notion away from me. Maybe next week.

40 quatloos to whomever spots the first use of this one this winter:

Ah, nevermind. I see. The prison is empty, in a state where prison is usually a booming business. I can't even be bother to type the emoticon for shedding a tear.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/14/official-white-house-considering-buying-ill-prison-house-detainees/

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Sen. Dick Durbin said Sunday that a proposal to house detainees from Guantanamo Bay at a near-empty prison in rural Illinois would amount to a jobs engine for their state, while at least one critic warned that the move could make the local community a terrorist target.

Is it me, or are both of those statements fucked up beyond all humanity?

"Don't you see? Prison is one of our INDUSTRIES! It's about JOBS!"

"I warn you, as at least one critic, that you are not afraid enough. You can't bring EVIL to our nation like this!"

YOU'RE ALL OUT OF OF YOUR MOTHERFUCKING MINDS.

Wait, so you really can't see how this would create jobs?

Prisons don't guard themselves son.

No, I see how it will create jobs. Jobs in the prison industry. Which is this twisted self-serving THING that survives quite apart from any actual need for it, and certainly apart from any need for it to be the way it is. It's like the Food Industry. I dunno... it's shit like this that makes me rock back and forth on my heels and mutter for hours, and it's shit like this that's nearly a valid argument for not voting.

I mean, think about what a free-market, private prison system means. It means that there's profit in prisons, which there is, and byt the barrel full, which means that from the top down there is pressure to fill those prisons, because empty prisons are bad business. Think on that a while, and if you happen to be white, go kiss the ground you walk on and the nearest cop too. You are blessed like you can't ever understand.

DERRRP. sadly, though the emails show nothing of the sort, these idiots have been trumpeting this so hard that in five years it's going to be a basic assumption that there never was anything like climate change.

don't underestimate the capacity of an artists desire to draw boobies for getting in the way of the truth

Someone will need to make a new thread for the new year. I haven't been keeping up on the trash these idiots are publishing.
