Come with me, come to the land of batshit rightwing cartoonists

political cartoons being what they are, one begins to wonder if constant strawmanning leads to either self-awareness(probly not) or stylistic boredom

EMBRYOS FOR SCIENCE

those guys are pretty tall. for embryos.

Also, "Love your mother"- that's some weird shit!

I've been reading the comics from the guy who did the Al Gore and Rosie O'Donnell and Jane Fonda ones upthread for months now and I swear to god that the last panel is missing. You know, the one with the punchline?!?

I read the first panel and the next (if there is one) and then...nothing.

Seriously crappy artwork as well.

If there is no last panel and punchline then you just have to improvise

See, it works now.

That dude should give you a piece of his syndication fee.

what's up with the way she's holding the microphone in the third panel

modified two-fisted overhand grip

al queda

he has clearly been watching too many porno handjobs

i was wondering the same thing -- i think it's supposed to be, like, a feminine way of holding a microphone or something?

http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/062907.jpg

hey, whaddayaknow, preggers = no more thong and asscrack.

I don't understand that cartoon.

i think she's dreaming, and in this dream, she and the pierced & tattooed librul bush-hater are watching the tube again, and her unborn crotch-spawnling is saying his first talking point, still in the womb

hey, whaddayaknow, preggers = no more thong and asscrack.

Yeah, but make way for low-cut maternity tops and milky cleavage!

We must legalize fetuses.

Duh.

yeah, that's what i mean. What's the talking point?

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4898/dbdeyeks1.jpg

i think the talking point is the fetus beginning to focus on who's legal and who ain't

must have something to do w/ abortion but I can't figure out what

No, the fetus is saying that at some point it was illegal. Fetuses are illegal at some point in their development? Who ever claimed that? What the fucking bleeding crying FUCK??

Gee, y'know, they're right; american politicians and media-types should talk about the poor & hungry more. Oh wait, but they're all millionaires, so if they do so, they'll be commie hypocrits!

Again, standard authoritarian practice: ignore all and any history or its context that you can't bend to your purpose, endlessly defend your leaders and viciously attack anyone who dares question them, UNTIL they don't do something rightwing enough for you, then cast them aside and stomp on them as soon as possible.

Malaria victims are a species.

And they're endangered, soon there may not be any left at all. Something must be done!

ban mosquitoes

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/strips/mallard/2000/MFT20070629.jpghttp://i11.tinypic.com/53ucxtl.gif

wow, that really does work.

I have to say that thumbs-up Osama is the best thing to happen to comics since the Yellow Kid

WTF on the malaria one:

1) DDT is HARDLY the only insecticide used for killing mosquitoes and I feel comfortable in saying that even IF one were to discount the environmental issues inherent in the use of DDT, it's not even the most effective available insecticide currently in use.
2) Is this guy suggesting that we should be giving more support to countries in which malaria is rampant? If so, why not say it in a less oblique fashion? Or is he strawmanning mass death by disease in order to back up a poorly thought out anti-environmental talking point?
3) Batshit rightwing cartoonist guy, are you ACTUALLY arguing against bald eagles and for DDT? Really?
4) So DDT and/or chemicals with a similar makeup are not being used in outside the US at all, huh? And there are bald eagles in countries with rampant malarial infection, huh?
5) STOP JUST STOP JUST STOP

the malaria/ddt thing is a pretty widespread rightwing talking point. for example and its counter

BUt yeah, we're in the time of the politics of resentment, so there are those who try to compensate with their lack of governing skills with volume of whining.

And this has been around for years:

wow ok that's a new one for me.
round these fucking idiots up and give them all the DDT they want.
just rub it on your skin.

as always, the 26% crowd can always console themselves that they have the facts on their side.

...or that an FDA run by e.Coli conservatives doesn't give a shit about its functions, or that imported food regs are lax

yup, burn right out, they do

When liberals lose the debate, they attempt to shut it down.

hooray, implied threats

?

fluorescent bulbs last, like, 10 times longer than an incandescent bulb. That's just a flat-out, deliberate lie.

Of course that cartoon is dimwitted, but the Fairness Doctrine is completely stupid.

Looks like someone already broke Michael Savage's fingers, though.

that CFL thing = WHAT THE FUCK complete horseshit

It's just so weird to get all up in arms about light bulbs.

well lighting technology is part of my job so I'm kinda pissed to see the dissemination of outright lies

I'm pretty sure kenan was talking about the duck

Plus, the lion's share of the CFLs on the market today are actually slightly warmer in color than standard tungsten. Not only is he lying though his teeth, but there's absolutely no point to it.

I like this one because, if you think about it for more than a half a second, it actually pretty elequently makes the exact opposite point (I assume) it's trying to make.

The people are a bully with a short attention span and a distrust of anything complex, so he comes over and knocks down something that two kids, usually sworn enimies, have spent a lot of time working together to build, and something that might well have been pretty cool.

Um, bipedal cats with disproportionately long left legs in the higher echelons of the clergy are psychic, and see into the dark, fetus-eating mind of His Holliness?

If that's supposed to be Ted Kennedy, where's the empty booze bottle?

I'm pretty sure kenan was talking about the duck

yeah, I was. I get pissed about this, too, because it's just so damn stupid.
