You know...at first, i would have sworn that this is the type of cartoon that ****-suckin anti american jerk Ted Rall would try---but no,,its someone else.

Pujo

Blah blah blah, sounds like liberal whining to me.

Patters

You righties are soft. No wonder you're so afraid all the time.

ELOrocks17

Oh please Patters--that is far beyond tastefull or appropriate, and you know it. How would you feel if a cartoonist potrayed Cindy Sheehan loaded into a cannon that was right in front of OBL..and the caption says "Killing 2 birds with 1 stone?

Cartoonist Quote:

In a story about the letter, the Post quoted Toles as saying he never intended the cartoon to be read as a personal attack or a derogatory comment on the service and sacrifice of US soldiers.

He said that in thinking about Rumsfeld's remarks "what came soon to mind was the catastrophic level of injuries the Army and members of the armed services have sustained."

"I thought my portrayal of it was a fair depiction of the reality of the situation," he said.

What a coward. He couldn't even tell the truth afterwards about what he did and why. Anyone here really believe "he never intended the cartoon to be read as a personal attack or a derogatory comment on the service and sacrifice of US soldiers?" Or, ""I thought my portrayal of it was a fair depiction of the reality of the situation."

I'd have a little bit respect for him if he at least stood up and took the heat for what he did. He must assume that his readers attribute to him the absolute lowest level of brain activity required to keep himself alive.

He has the right. He just has no common sense.

Gumby

I disagree.

I think he did tell the truth afterwards. The thing is that he still to this day probably doesnt think the cartoon is a personal attack on Soldier's service and sacrifice.

the reason for that is that he as most of his ilk; doesnt respect the Soldier's sacrifice. He thinks Soldiers are the poor and stupid who had no other choice with their lives and that we only choose the military as a last option. Because that is his value system.

So he naturally views the amputee as a victim and has no problem portraying a victim in his cartoon.

It is entirely incomprehensible for him to understand the Soldier amputee who when asked at Walter Reed by a reporter ' Do you regret going to Iraq?' who responds; 'No, I only wish I could go back to finish what we started and if I can I will rehabilitate with a prostethic and go back.'
(actual conversation - paraphrased from memory. Female reporter just couldnt make sense of the guys she interviewed and reported her befuddlement.) This guy is from same mindset.

JLC

Maybe you're right. Which would place this guy's mental function at something less than that required for intelligent life.

Patters

I think the point of the cartoon was to show the callousness of Rumsfeld, and the fact that they are taking more issue with the cartoon than the point of the cartoon only serves to confirm the point of the cartoon. To me, it sounds like you're simply parroting a point of view you haven't thought through, or you're truly unfamiliar with editorial cartoons and the nature lambasting someone. Some conservatives might accuse you of simply acting "politically correct" with your objections.

Another nail in the sore losing democrat coffin, (keep em coming) I hope they put Cindy *****han on Camera again.

I don't see myself getting worked up over any cartoon. Except Family Guy, it's freeking hilarious!
