These threads are always like stepping into a fascinating wonderland where everything is really unintelligent and depressing.

Bit of a selection bias going on here, of course, since I tend to post any anti-Sharpton or Jackson toons I can find. I find the amount of ire and sheer bile directed at them to be hilarious and/or scary.

And OH MAN, can I not wait for "Sicko" to come out, just so I can count the number of spittle-flinging and irascible cartoons that can be distilled down into little else than "michael moore is fat lol".

TOMBOT 8080. I do like the Mad-magazine style of gravity-defying skanking rock-throwers, though.

that was the first I'd heard about Sicko, so I looked it up at IMDB to learn more and lo and behold here are the first six message board topics on it:

One of the reasons I pay attention to these things is that even the most absolute batshit/what-the-fuck-century-do-you-live-in/talking point-soaked /either-medically-crazy-or-have-a- perception-so-schewed-from-actual-reality -as-to-be-effectively-crazy/etc is that it's not just some random scribblings of an asshole with an art tablet wasting away the lunch hour at his dayjob. This shit is printed in fairly important places: WSJ, Detroit News, Investors Business Daily, etc.

In other words, much of this is reflective of what mainline American conservatism has come to, and the language it uses.

Sharpton Security Tightens After Death Threats
MSNBC, CBS Report Death Threats After Imus' Firing
The staff of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network reported late Friday night that they were being forced to tighten security at their headquarters because of the growing number of death threats against the outspoken activist.

NewsChannel 4 reports that Sharpton's personal security detail was being beefed up as well.

While Sharpton received some death threats since MSNBC and CBS pulled the plug on Don Imus' show, the two news networks said they got even more death threats Friday.

Note: this is word for word what is on the frontpage at [Removed Illegal Link] to the "Politically Correct" Cartoons site.

Every week Jim takes aim at the liberals in my nationally published, conservative, political cartoons. Bookmark this page to see my latest cartoon each week, and peruse the Cartoon Archives of over 400 "Politically Correct" cartoons.

Conservative and PC? Not at all... These cartoons are anything but PC. They are political and, indeed, correct. They also annoy liberals expecting PC cartoons!Also, from his bio:

About Jim Huber
Jim Huber is a nationally published cartoonist, with cartoons that appear in, most notably, National Review magazine.

He's been drawing cartoons ever since he was too lazy to draw realistic pictures. Actually, he's been honing his skills since he was about five years old (that's 28 years), but has been freelancing cartooning for over 18 years, starting with New York Newsday. He was a cartoonist and graphics editor for his high school and college papers. In college, in 1993, he started Politically Correct, which he continues to do today for papers, publications, and Web sites across the country.

Jim's current professional cartooning work extends beyond his political cartoon. He has drawn cartoons for various political, private, and commercial clients. In addition, Jim owns and operates a web design firm, Huberspace, which specializes in conservative/Republican Web sites.

Has the cartoonist seen the trailer for "Live Free or Die Hard"? Maybe that would allay some of his fears about Hollywood.

― kingfish, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 18:04 (sixteen years ago) link

all these cartoons do is subconsciously reinforce this weird imagery of libs/minorities as simpleminded minstrels. it's weird because i get the sense that these dudes drop in all sorts of political chatter and their thought process hasn't been simplified into cartoon form, because what you see is as deep as it's ever gonna get.

Part of the problem is that most media types don't really point this out. They run this false equivalence bullshit, where there is a far left and a far right that never change positions and we are objective, principled and removed observers are completely in the center. "Both sides do it" and "Michael Moore is the liberal version of Ann Coulter", etc. The Slacktivist guy best summed this up as "Broderian Cowardice"

how is that a "point"? the money you pay in taxes originally belonged to someone else before you traded your labor for it, and by paying taxes you're trading it for labor and services done by the government. it's no more a fiction than "taxpayer money" or "corporate money" or anything else
