I think Glenn Greenwald compared this meme to someone pointing to the obituary page as proof that population growth is a fraud.

But in Monday's 1,200-word letter, titled, "Good Riddance Attention Whore," Sheehan announced that her son "did indeed die for nothing."

here we go, everyone's fave subject:

Well, technically it is global CLIMATE CHANGE people are worried about, rather than global warming. But I suppose you wouldn't know that if all you read is Georgia science text books.

Duuuuuuuuuuude. That guy invents new conventions of political cartooning in every strip. This whole celebrity puppetry thing is so far outside my language of how to read these things that I don't know where to begin.

i'm marveling at the sight of a caricaturist NOT caricaturing Howard Stern. it's really quite something.

I think that guy blew a deadline and just submitted a twelve year old strip he had lying around.

Dave and Whoopi have some serious orthodontia issures.
That Gaggle guy is lazy as a recliner.
Those immigration toons sure are offensive.

why is nancy pelosi holding a pack of hot dogs under her chin

well, wouldn't you?

it appears that the hot dogs have begun to melt and run together towards the bottom. perhaps another experiment in thermodynamics? I think I would've opted to stick 'em in my armpits, but to each his own.

there is a joke here that i am not willing to make.

REALLY MAKES YOU THINK

Yes, fancy questioning what the bible says. Madness!

gargamel's a priest now?

How dare this guy question this hotel sociality? Hasn't he read her "Letter from a Los Angeles Special Needs Holding Facility"?

yeah seriously super creepy old priest is not exactly a character I'd follow in the newspaper. half the clipart from red meat is more charming that that thing

More of the usual from Chip Bok, i guess:

Wait, am I being called gullible for believing that Lindsay Lohan does too much coke and Paris Hilton is really rich and drives without a license?

lies vicious lies

guys i'm sort of inclined to let these dudes say whatever the fuck they want about john edwards. guy really is sort of a two-faced douchebag.

I don't get his appeal, but the "attacks" the right tends to level at him are of the subliterate "Al Gore is fat/invented the internet haw haw" variety

true. still, dude is at least partly responsible for putting the american flu vaccine manufacturers out of business. way to go, brody.

oops, i've been had!

pwned

whatever, i still don't like him.

i like how the impulse to take to the woods stripped to your boxer shorts is carter's fault too.

God, don't you remember the 70's, when everyone lost everything and millions of filthy, half-naked Joad families took to bare subsistence living or starved to death? DON'T YOU REMEMBER???!

river wolf, who I like and respect, is a very smart dude, and yet this flase information got in around his filters. These bullshit astroturf stories can be insidiously effective.

i know! i was had! i hadn't heard the story, actually, until the other day when i was discussing various candidates' views on healthcare with a fellow pre-med student who is otherwise very well informed. i didn't do my homework: busted.

i wish i could change my name to "HOLY WAR POWDER KEG"

Holy War Powder Keg, Batman! Priest Gargamel totally looks like he was drawn by that one MAD magazine dude.

Yeah, he's got the Don Martin eyes.

Coupla things with this one:

1) It's another standard "media pays attention to the wrong things" riff, which I guess is still somewhat positive that even the most authoritarian followers still have an idea that having a media is a good thing, but

2) complaining about them covering pointless shit and not, say, U.S. troop deaths when they've spent _years_ vociferously supporting the assholes who've completely prohibited coverage of returning coffins, who go out of their way on a pretty much weekly to downplay loss of life("why, we lost FAR more in WWII, what are these DFH complaining about?!") and overall sacrifice that a very few american citizens are having to make b/c of all this, and who deliberately want a Murdoch-style bullshit tabloid media where entertainment is now information, etc.

but yeah, compartmentalized thinking, lack of self-awareness, simplistic causation, etc etc etc

THE ISLAMOFASCISTS HAS TAKEN OVER OH NOES WE MUST ALL GO HIDE WITH THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE!!11

http://media.townhall.com/Townhall/Car/b/ca0530ad.jpg

HEY YOU STUPID FUCK, remember that troop pay increase that's being blocked? well guess who the fuck's blocking it, and who the fuck's supporting it. and NICE USE of the lazy-ass "probably" here jesus christ FUCK these guys even try my patience for this shit sometimes.

And a correction: the batshittery attributed by me to Chip Bok a few posts up is in fact by Chuck Asay, the Colorado Springs-residing dingus who made these last two.

oh wow oh wow that last one
oh my god
so fucking angry

chuck asay huh

i mean, COME ON

bit of wishful thinking on the duck's part

home-schooling is all about the classics, donchaknow, tho the SHEER DIFFICULTY of finding the area of an octagon, why, that'd take publicly educated me a whole day to figure out!

xp, yeah this guy: http://www.townhall.com/funnies/cartoonist/ChuckAsay/2007/05

oh i see that his former tenure at the CS gazette was already garnering him enough f-u mail from veterans etc. so I guess I can rest knowing he's probably living off social security and our clickthrough counts from this page now

HA, I just remembered this bit -- this asshole is the same guy who gave us the actual crying Liberty:

Able to defeat small liberals in a single bound.

So, like, he could take on Kucinich in a general election?

having seen kucinich's wife i'm chalking all right wing abuse of him to pure, bitter player hating.

in the last debate, Gravel was making Kuc seem totally reasonable

I'm actually beginning to think these people are like those skinnerboxed raised-by-wolves/locked-in-the-basement kids who can learn vocabulary but can only barely use grammar patterns, there's some part of their childhood development that left them unable to process anything besides the authoritarian-believer mindset that kingfish keeps alluding to

The fact that some of them run for local office just makes it all the more entertaining/horrifying.

The Obama one is fun, since it conflates the boogeyman of universal healthcare AND tort reform. Market idolatry is so ingrained with these guys that anything which could possibly affect the success of the successful(incl. people suing when they get fucked over by sucessful cretins) must be commie-nism and therefore destroyed.

Oh yeah, and all trial lawyers are hairy white dudes.
