I’m A Democrat. And I hate the fact that MSNBC.com produced this horrible cartoon.
If you ask me, it’s pretty sick that someone would draw our beloved Muslim President nailed to a cross. But it was our side that did it, so, of course, there’s no moral outrage in the rest of the media. And that’s what upsets me — a little more moral outrage from the left might help us score some political points that we really need right now.
See, if someone on the right had drawn this cartoon, we could’ve said all the things we always say about the right being racist, Islamophobic, hayseed hicks desperately clinging to their guns and their God, crucifying the Lord Barack Almighty despite the miracles he’s performed for this country.
Oh, who the hell am I kidding? We’re going to say those things about you conservative loons anyway.
But you can still help us out. This boneheaded MSNBC artist screwed up and drew Obama hanging on a cross. We need someone on the right to draw him hanging from a tree, the way good Democrats in the Ku Klux Klan hung black people from trees for generations. (You may recall that West Virginia Democrat Senator Robert Byrd once advocated doing in order to get elected. And Bill Clinton said he made all Democrats proud.) That cartoon, my conservative friends, would be solid proof that you are the horrible racists we Democrats keep saying you are.
While our liberal media brethren have ignored how disgusting it is to show someone hanging on a cross, especially the first black President, there’s no way they’d ignore a cartoon that showed him hanging from a tree. That would be offensive. Our liberal media friends would go nuts.
Are there any conservative cartoonists out there who’d like to help us out in November? We could use your help right about now.
