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?

Don't these conservatives realize that since Bush gave us the worst deficit in the US history for absolutely no discernible reason, that it automatically delegitimizes anything they want to say about Obama's deficit spending ? Because at least that guy's spending our money in an attempt to fix our economy, not to wage pointless boondoggle wars that have singlehandedly shamed this nation like nothing else has.

We're kinda all over the map with this week's strips:

p.s. the Great Society programs actually reduced poverty, until Nixon slashed them two years later and everyone could point out how they failed

Angry man with degenerative facial skin disease is angry.

And, of course, it's far from obvious that 'jump start the economy' and the economy recovering next year ae incompatible.

omg Obama's little pointy-hand

Coupla different things with this: one, these guys get a talking point and all run with it, has nothing to do with whether it's true or valid or even relevant or not. These guys have been infantilized to the point of being children, and act as such. Things have been to the point of tribal cheerleading for decades now, so it doesn't matter when your own guy does something completely against what he supposedly stands for, you're a good little rightwing authoritarian follower and cheer him on while attacking any who dares question him. Once the other guy gets into power, you suddenly "rediscover" this standard and just unleash on the guy from the other team.

Part of it is just a complete lack of understanding(deliberate or not) about how these things actually work; you dump $500 billion into Lockheed-Martin to build a weapons systems to designed to defeat the Soviet Army or Wehrmacht or whatever, that's fine.

You spend $200,000 on funding tattoo removal services so that former gangbangers can get straight jobs again or a small local job-retraining center, that's the worst example of socialism/marxism/communism/pork barrel project ever seen. Any sort of public program that doesn't bolster or reinforce current authority figures(i.e. cops or the army), is horrible and should be destroyed.

And part of the problem is that these aren't positions that one can rationally argue about; if you don't come to whatever bizarro notion by way of reason, ain't no amount of reason going to get you out of it.

You know, being as the main funder and co-defendant in the trial of The Pirate Bay is a right-wing politician and member of the "Keep Sweden Swedish" party, that's quite interesting how the rich evil businessman has a hook nose.

Kelly's on good form this week:

I think that's a pug nose, not a hook nose. (xpost)

This is hard to be a slam on yer enemies when your national political leader makes about this same sentiment at your little get together over the weekend.

In other news, Gary Mccoy really is that evil a person:

HA! Goons have finally discovered this thread! Hello goons!

That last Asay cartoon is prime. Not only just insanely reductive and uninformed, but visually speaking also framed deliberately in a way that allows for maximum busy-ness and distraction. I think the dude is just an OCD sufferer who needs to draw a bunch of unnecessary crap in every frame, or otherwise he'll end up ranting on a street corner with tin foil on his head. "Batshit," as the saying goes.

XP Wha?

Don't worry about it. There are others who take delight in Chuck Asay as much as we do, and they finally found this thread.

How right-wing is the "Botchmen" cartoon, really?

Link us? XP

yeah goons what?

God, Jeff Darcy's in the Plain Dealer today is just . . . can't wait until it's up on the website. It's really something.

I took a picture with my phone, it was worth sharing so much:

NOT ONLY PORK, BUT ALSO EARMARKS. ALSO, BARREL FULL OF PORK EARS. SPENDING. BAD.

NOT JUST FUCKING BUT ALSO FORNICATION AND SEXUAL CONGRESS. BAD.

which "ones"? these latest cartoons?

sorry, i meant the goons mentioned by kingfish, not cartoons.

i think in the "tie your opponent to outrageous demented public figure" contest, i don't think the DEMOCRATS ARE OCTOMOM strategy is working next to the towering spectre of RUSH

Yep, them's the ones, I should have specified.

A less updated version of that thread? Pshaw. As if.

ilx is bizarre

No, kingfish, looking up in the sky and going "Goons! Everywhere!" to no one in particular was specific enough.

it's worked before.

and any rate, there's this:

Somebody plz to find a better source for Brett Noel's syndicated crap. The panel on that North Star page is only like 200 px square.

Hannity likes to say conservatism is 'going underground'. He says this alot on the only talk radio station my receiver picks up, which is 24/7 right wingers.

America loves an underdog

Hannity loves the Jam.
