Maybe it's Obama!

yes, it's his messengers spreading the word.

to even hint that Obama is using fearmongering tactics in the aftermath of the bush administration...

It really points out, and I may have complained about this already, but a huge problem with being a BSRW cartoonist right now is that everybody loves Obama, specifically because he threw out the batshit right-wing government. Hence all the effort to claim different definitions of what "change" meant...certainly there were ideas about bipartisanship etc but the basic promise was "No more Bush" - that's why the most effective negative against McCain was the "voted with Bush 95% of the time" stuff. The only way to respond to this from BSRW territory is to insist, and I guess this has been going on since the get-go, that Obama is/was just a wide-eyed, fairly generic idealist.

OUR SHIT
THOSE FUCKERS

exciting new arguments

Hi, abanana. This is not the thread called "cartoons I think I understand".

yes, talking out of both sides of his mouth, and just LOOK at how obviously contradictory these statements are:

So, a mass-produced auto manufactured domestically, cheap enough for its own assemblers to purchase? You gotta hand it to these guys mocking a President openly advocating the production and consumption of american cars in the DETROIT NEWS.

if you don't have a ballzchin, plz don't apply to the secret service:

wait, who's Uncle Sam referring to in this case? the Administration? The congress/gubmint in total? the nation?

http://www.caglecartoons.com/media/cartoons/89/2009/02/25/61563_600.jpg

Meanwhile, as we are know, this was EXACTLY how it played out, frowny faces and all:

http://www.creators.com/editorial_cartoons/21/7029_image.jpg

It's like the cartoon version of Bobby Jindal's response; written in advance, either clearly not intended to reflect anything that was actually said, or these guys just believed so much in their strawman libruls that they could go ahead and not actually watch the thing.

re these:

i've always marvelled at right-wingers' sudden concern for the government balance sheet when a democratic congress and/or president come to power (and their continued insistence on cutting government revenues)

it's like suddenly the state of the govt's current account becomes "our" money, under attack from feckless drunkards (see upthread)

when republican presidents/congresses are in power, however, the govt's current account is just brushed under the rug, despite historical data that show republican presidents increase deficits consistently and democratic presidents do the opposite

and anyway, what does asay think we have right NOW? surpluses???

grr

this thread never fails! thank you thread!

no problem. We're here to entertain and/or incense.

For extra fun, feel free to wade thru the shit I have to see to find these.

Look at those telepromters; how elitist! Who does he think he is? He should use 3.5" index cards like a real American!

First, dogging O for being negative, then sniping for being too positive? Come on cartoonist guys. Y'r scraping the barrel so hard y'r starting to pick up wood shavings. You have NO MATERIAL, admit it.

what

http://www.creators.com/editorial_cartoons/4/7042_thumb.gif

never mind that this is precious and topical, why are there three duplicates of the same character from the strip Shoe here

cuz that's what dude aspires to.

Birdbrains really need to wear some opposing flag to face down Capitalism USA Airlines - where's your hammer and sickle, Comrade Shoe??

I think part of what pisses me off about this guys is that they're paid to draw one to four panels a day, and they use fucking photoshop to copy/paste.

For all of Trudeau's(or even Breathed's) repetition of panels of either one or two characters in dialogue or an exterior shot of the White House, he actually drew each panel.

hahaha this is a nice inversion of the usual shite lately

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/Car/b/090227beelertoon_c20090227013909.jpg

remember, dude who sat in that chair before him ran up more debt than every single dude before him combined. but no, current guy is all the problem.

http://www.creators.com/editorial_cartoons/24/7026_image.jpg

uh, so, like, the problem is that commienists have invested heavily in our capital systems?

http://www.creators.com/editorial_cartoons/24/6991_image.jpg

Also, if you completely believe that trickle-down economics works, that dropping tax rates to the very, very rich will result in a massive increase in domestic production and consumption despite the evidence of, y'know, the last 30 years, then you will portray a budget that drops the tax rates for 95% of the country as a shark being tossed to a drowning man.

still, i like that he has an O on his shorts, just in case you didn't know who he was.

http://i42.tinypic.com/23r1mvd.jpg

I like this strip alot for some reason, the way it's drawn and the weird proportions of the characters.

This:

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/791/7026image.jpg

needs to be pasted every time there's a "lol communism/socialism has been proved wrong, a failure, etc." toon.

Adam, that's a parody from "Watchmen"

http://i39.tinypic.com/jhv7cz.gif

DO U C

That's... just fucking mindbogglingly insane.

Holy fuck. That is seriously deranged.

None of that makes a single ounce of sense. The cartoonist isn't even criticizing the correct scapegoat in the 2009 panel!

*err, scapegoating. damn you gerunds.

Real Americans know that Democrats, Communists and Nazis are the same thing.

Can we hire a hacker troll to ruin this guy's private life?

guyz look what i found on cagle cartoons

So, the problem is what, exactly?

lost opportunity for extra superfluous implication: not having him light the smoke with a 100 dollar bill. these guys really are off their game. also shouldnt last cigarette have scare quotes?
