I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a slave owner

re: constitution one obv

Poor rich people, man.

Anyone else spot the very tame dan lacey obama portrait on the front cover of the NYT this weekend?

It's noted in the Dan Lacey thread. Shoulda been a nude, unicorn-ridin' one.

seriously though, she's right about the salsa.

Not really, unless you think there's only two kinds of salsa.

of course: democrat and republican

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Nine days after her nomination, a political cartoon featuring Judge Sonia Sotomayor that was published in the Oklahoman is getting national attention from the Latino community.

Some have argued that the cartoon, which was published in Tuesday's edition, carries a message that's less political than racist.

It features the Supreme Court nominee hanging like a piñata while President Barack Obama lines up elephants meant to represent Republicans waiting to take a swing at her.

"I don't personally see the racism in it, but I do see where someone could," said Kristy Smith of Oklahoma City.

"Did you see (Obama) hanging from a piñata? No, right? Or anything else that has to do with that type of race? I don't think so," said Jackie Vargas.

Vargas was one of several people in Oklahoma City who said they felt the cartoon was racist. Others, however, said they took an opposite view.

"I really do think it is more political than it is racist, just making fun of everything and trying to lighten things up," said Jessica Cabrera.

The cartoon is also sparking national attention from cities with large Latino communities, like New York. Many find it offensive because the piñata reference is part of the Mexican culture and Judge Sotomayor is Puerto Rican.

"I do know that it's offensive, and I think that it reflects a lot of the ignorance that many Americans have about Latinos, that we're all Mexican or all this or all that," said New York publisher Rossana Rosado.

The cartoon's creator said that stereotyping was his goal.

"Since she emphasized her Latinaness and played it up as a virtue, I thought, 'Well, how about a fiesta and a piñata?'" said cartoonist Chip Bok. "This is a Mexican thing, but again, we're dealing with stereotypes. That's all kind of the joke, I thought."

The cartoonist also said that to say he's insensitive is part of his job, like telling basketball players that they're tall.

The Senate Judiciary Committee plans to hold Supreme Court confirmation hearings this summer.

I live a sheltered life and had not seen the anti-Sotomayor cartoons. Jesus fucking Christ, fuck all these fucking racist misogynist assholes.

lol @ being insensitive as a job requirement for political cartoonists

The cartoonist also said that to say he's retarded is part of his job, like telling basketball players that they're tall.

it is kind of amazing to see how much blatant racism surfaces on the right.

cannot even comprehend what kind of cognitive dissonance is going on there.

It's lucky he's wearing a t-shirt otherwise we wouldn't know wtf was going on.

Also that Osama one - Unfortunately, some of them cannot be convicted due to lack of evidence... - I mean, is he really being serious there?

I can't tell if they're just taking the piss anymore is what I'm trying to say.

OK. so I'm working up the thread - Spock one - wtf!

'the ripper' - uh no, that's what happens when abortions are made illegal.

'junk science' - uh no, that's what's promoted by nutso religious types on school boards, and vigorously opposed by teachers' unions.

it feels like they're not even trying anymore.

ok the murder/not murder one either makes no sense or confirms something that in my naivete i had assumed ~wasn't~ the case. that is: strongly pro-life ppl thinking the death penalty is cool and justified.

mkaes perfect sense: unborn children are innocent, guilty perps deserve what they get (also not guilty perps, cf. guantanamo).

Well, yeah, but that would make the vast majority of people in the world "pro-life" - pretty much anyone off the street would agree, "Hey, let's not kill innocent people!" It's cheap grace, adopting as some deep principle something that's trivially obvious. The Catholic Church as a body at least can call itself "pro-life" even in the harder cases: It opposes abortion, capital punishment and the Iraq war.

it feels like they're not even trying anymore.

these days it's all just dog whistles and frenzied barking...

That is one fancy Abortion Clinic sign.

I wonder how many women have gone in there by mistake, thinking it was a consignment shop?

Have we ever talked about the Photoshop art of David Dees? It's batshit, but in a Ron Paul sort of way:

Actually, this is a better link:

That was a fun link. "Starving African Child Amongst the Lard Asses" was a good one.

Oh, and he's a crazed racist anti-Semite, no matter what his cutsey Zionist disclaimer attempts to prove.

ROYAL EU ZOMBIE!!!

this is the dude whose work looks like the land of the lost billboards!

i think the camp FEMA ones are about the conspiracy theory that FEMA is building concentration camps? not sure where i heard that

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

That's a new one for me.

There is some spiel from that site about how any vaccine against swine flu will kill you faster that swine flu. There is no explanation for the evil deeds of the Shefield Wednesday Mascot and his Owl bretheren.

dees owns. paranoia taken so far that it's almost an acid trip.

O.J. in jail? They call this progress?

Dees goes from the paranoid to the surreal.
