Chuck Asay died for your sins: batshit rightwing cartoonists 2009

The worst theme of right-wing cartoons and right-wing rhetoric is the "THEN... AND NOW!" bullshit. Not only are they usually looking back to a time where none of them were even alive, but they never, EVER have any data to back up the rosy depictions.

Luckily this one book http://www.amazon.com/Way-We-Never-Were-Nostalgia/dp/0465090974 defuses like 90% of the hogwash. Dry read but every conservative should get a copy.

wtf is that on about? you'd think that with over 50 words he might have been able to make it at least slightly understandable to anyone who didn't know the story. Whitehall mentioned a BBC radio programme about al-q before the BBC broadcast a programme abu=out al-q? huh?

abu=out! daily mail propaganda sneaking into my message!

The kid on the Grinch cartoon is staring at a huge floppy disk labeled, porn. Considering he got that out of some pre-PC 8-inch floppy-reading relic, there's probably only about 1/2 a JPEG on it.

isnt it a TFT monitor?

uh

woo hoo, month-long delay!

http://www.creators.com/comics/37/29375_thumb.gif

this is pretty otm

two recent popular themes, now jammed together:

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/Car/b/payn090120_02_cmyk20090116080823.jpg

Obama made a "the globe is warming...although you can't tell today lol" joke in his speech in Baltimore the other day.

I don't really understand these global warming toons; they need to have a morbidly obese Al Gore with surprisingly jewish features to really drive the point home.

http://www.creators.com/comics/37/29372_thumb.gif

The cons are all hot to j'accuse thus ^^^ because THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID IN 2001 (and 1981). I mean, it's easy to anticipate a good Limbaughing if yr party fuckin' wrote the instruction manual.

http://i41.tinypic.com/10s7xxz.jpg

his bush rendition is a lot like luckovich's, tho it lacks the absurdist appeal of ML's shit

Well, not everyone.

http://www.caglecartoons.com/media/cartoons/12/2009/01/19/60094_600.jpg

Also, i like that we now need two captions an a label to get the joke:

http://patriotart.com/wp-content/gallery/2009/althefraudgore.jpg
“Al “the fraud” Gore”

also that editorial cartoonists apparently don't have editors

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/strips/mallard/2000/MFT20090117.jpg

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/strips/mallard/2000/MFT20090119.jpg

Double-WTF on this one:

1. I have heard the "mainstream media" talk about that point quite a bit, actually. E.g., "Bush may have screwed up everything else, but at least there was only ONE successful major terrorist attack on his watch."

2. Just WATCH how much credit Obama will get for similar results from these batshitters: He'll get none, and any lack of terrorism will be due to Bush, of course.

3 (bonus). Tinsley is still a fucking drunk.

this drives me nutz cause WHAT ABT THE ANTHRAX ATTACKS that you know SHUT DOWN WASHINGTON KILLED PEOPLE and WERE AFTER 9/11

and wtf was the rate of terror attacks in america before 9/11 im sure a 7 year terror free stretch isnt outside the norm

also plz show me evidence of a credible terror threat that was actually thwarted - something more than this one dude thinks abt maybe blowing up the brooklyn bridge

and of course 9/11 occurred on his watch

B-BALL U.

"Thanks, President Bush"

http://patriotart.com/wp-content/gallery/2009/althefraudgore.jpg
This guy clearly dusted off an old Leonid Brezhnev one for this.

lol everyone likes him

FUCKING ASSHOLE HOW DARE HE GET SWORN IN... HYPOCRITE

not like the last guy who took more vacations than any other president

it's cold out today = global warming is a lie perpetrated by the liberal media, atheist scientists, and marxists bent on regulating industry in order to destroy it.

I need to stop reading this thread, it raises my irrational hatred of FUCKING MORONS to near-dangerous levels.

lol at Arnie chowing down on future taxpayers, is he not Republican enough or something?

every one of those global warming "joeks" is punctuated in my mind by patton oswalt's whackity schmackity-dooooo

Boy, are they going to be this bitter for four years? (yeah, they are, obviously)

Boy, are they going to be this bitter for four years? (yeah, they are, obviously)

What really, REALLY burns the cons is not that Obama is liked, but that people are enthusiastic about the dude. I predict lots of tut-tutting and rubbing of fingers together when the honeymoon is over, e.g., "look, we TOLD you long ago that Obama's not perfect!"

Is this referring to one of the organizers or one of the crowd-goers?

He has a media tag, so the former?

oh fuck off

can't speak to all of those, but there was plenty of music everywhere on tuesday, and blue birds and butterflies from the stuff dude's actually down in the 48 hours he's had the job.

As for spring, that's b/c you live in the northern hemisphere on a planet with an axial tilt

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/Car/b/090122beelertoon_c20090122033243.jpg

Nothing batshit about this, I just want to support and encourage giant angry cephalopods as a regular feature of political toons.

i like the watercolor in that one

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/Car/b/sst012009dAPR20090121034638.jpg

whereas with this toon of giant monsters waiting for obama in the white house, my first reaction was "Oh shit BOSS FIGHT look out!"

wait is that a riff on obama's anti-bcs comment? those look like mascots to me

only the trojan is a mascot of a bcs team tho

Which teams, tho? USC and whom else?

xp yeah

srsly tho i'm loving the attitude in so many of these like 'haw haw baracky hope you like running the country we fucked up so bad!!'

xps gentlemen u must understand i know 0 about sports

its was a good if somewhat flawed and obscure theory imo

He does win points for a surprising non-overuse of labels, tho. We have an easily known dude, an easily identifiable office, and just big monsters awaiting him.

Meanwhile, the artic isn't melting at all nor are polar bears about to be put on the endangered species list due to drowning from all the non-melting polar ice caps. Also, in an area that's usually sub-zero, they use thermometers that can freeze.
