Lefty cartoonist says it just ain’t right
Rall, author of “The Anti-American Manifesto”, finds himself ostracized by former comrades for being “too tough” in his criticism of President Obama. The poor fellow is having trouble finding work (join the club!)
Irony abounds in recent rantings by lefty cartoonist Ted Rall
Rall, author of “The Anti-American Manifesto”, finds himself ostracized by former comrades for being “too tough” in his criticism of President Obama. The poor fellow is having trouble finding work (join the club!) NOT because of Obama’s policies but because the editors he deals with are enmeshed in a “cult of personality” which reduced them to brain-dead “Obamabots”.
Rall dumps on pundit Kevin Drum whose slavish worship of the Golfer-in-Chief drives Ted to incivility:
“So what should I think about [the war in Libyan]?,” asks Kevin Drum in Mother Jones. “If it had been my call, I wouldn’t have gone into Libya. But the reason I voted for Obama in 2008 is because I trust his judgment. And not in any merely abstract way, either: I mean that if he and I were in a room and disagreed about some issue on which I had any doubt at all, I’d literally trust his judgment over my own. I think he’s smarter than me, better informed, better able to understand the consequences of his actions, and more farsighted.”
Mr. Drum, call your office. Someone found your brain in the break room.
Yikes. Sounds like whoever found Drum’s brain was nice enough to wash it before returning it.
Sorry, we’ve said the same thing for years while people like Rall laughed and called us “raaaaacists”.
So even though Ted is singing our song, we’re gonna plug our ears.

And now a guest editorial from an irate IHateTheMedia reader
I’m A Democrat. And I hate the fact that MSNBC.com produced this horrible cartoon.
Im_A_Democrat is an IHateTheMedia.com reader who posts his incisive comments in response to many of our articles. He has submitted the following editorial:
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.

95,000 descendants of Mohammed looking for big bucks, sue over cartoons
NEARLY 95,000 descendants of Mohammed are going to sue 10 newspapers for publishing “blasphemous” cartoons of the prophet.
If you can’t blow ‘em up, sue ‘em. That seems to be the philosophy of 95,000 direct descendants of Mohammed.
News.com.au has the details of the sordid suit:
NEARLY 95,000 descendants of Mohammed are going to sue 10 newspapers for publishing “blasphemous” cartoons of the prophet.
Faisal Yamani, a Saudi lawyer acting for the descendants, claims that the cartoons – which first appeared in 2005 and caused violent protests by Muslims around the world – are defamatory.
One of the 12 cartoons depicts Mohammed wearing a bomb-shaped turban.
The Sunday Times said that although the cartoons were published by Danish newspapers, Mr Yamani plans to pursue legal action in England, where libel laws are weighted towards the plaintiff.
English lawyers expect that he will argue that the cartoons were published in Britain via the internet and are a direct slur on his clients, who live in the Middle East, north Africa and even Australia.
Mark Stephens, a British lawyer who saw Mr Yamani’s missive to the newspapers, told The Sunday Times: “Direct descendants of the prophet have a particular place within Muslim society … By effectively criticising and making fun of the prophet you are, by implication, holding them up to scandal, contempt and public ridicule.
Just a little unsolicited advice from the legal wizards at IHateTheMedia.com: If the dynamite vest fits, you must acquit.

Top 10 lines from the Goode Family
“The Goode Family” premiered last night on ABC-TV. It was created by politically-incorrect Mike Judge, who also created King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-head. Most reviews (including our entire staff) agree it was funnier than hell. Here are the top 10 lines we heard.
1. “We can’t shop there. They don’t even have a mission statement.”
2. Ubuntu: “Sorry I used so much gas, dad.”
Dad: “That’s okay. The important thing is you feel guilty about it.”
3. “Don’t say ‘people of color’ because that’s just ‘colored people’ backwards.”
4. “The View is on. The pretty one is saying crazy stuff again.”
5. On a bumper sticker:
“Support our troops. And their opponents.”
6. Bumper sticker on Goode Family hybrid:
“Earth First – Ask Questions Later”
7. “WWAGD? What would Al Gore do?”
8. “Attention One Earth Shoppers. The owner of the SUV is in aisle 4 wearing a ball cap.”
9. “Your mother accidentally bought two-ply (toilet paper). But don’t worry I fixed it.”
10. Goode: “If you want to have proportionately diverse staff, we need three more minority hires.
Jensen: “Why don’t we just fire three white guys. Everybody wins.”
The Goode Family: The Animated, Anti-Al Gore Show
This looks like it’s going to be funny. “The Goode Family” premieres on ABC-TV on Wednesday, May 27. It was created by politically-incorrect Mike Judge, who also created King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-head.
The Goode Family is an obsessively, compulsively politically and ecologically correct family. They live their lives the way liberals would have all of us live – reusing their shopping bags, driving hybrid cars, and recycling everything. Of course, they’re vegans, to boot.
Thanks, Mike Judge. Since the rest of the biased liberal media won’t expose the real world eco-wackos, we’re glad you did in animated form.

Make Mine Freedom (1948) — more relevant than ever
Catholics riot over Pope cartoon, burn cars, demand death of cartoonist
Thousands of Catholics rioted in London today, burning cars and battling police while protesting what they called a “blasphemous” portrayal of Pope Benedict XVI in a Times of London cartoon.
Other Christian leaders called for the death of the cartoonist Peter Brooks for his appalling caricature of the Pope wearing a condom instead of his normal triregnum.
Oh, wait. We got our stories slightly confused. It was the Muslims who rioted over a cartoon of Allah. The Catholic response was a bit milder. They wrote letters.
“I was appalled at the tasteless cartoon depicting Pope Benedict XVI,” Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor wrote in a letter to the Times. “No newspaper should show such disrespect to a person who is held in high esteem by a large proportion of Christians in the world. To pillory the Pope in this way is totally unacceptable.
“We will not accept the Pope being made the object of mockery and offence, in the media or elsewhere,” said Angelo Bagnasco, an Italian Bishop. “He represents for everyone a moral authority, which this journey has made people appreciate even more.”
No word yet on whether cartoonist Brooks has gone into hiding to avoid a potential Catholic fatwah.

The truth about Scientology revealed in cartoon show, not by the news media
What does it say about the media when we get more truth from cartoons than from the news?
The sickness that is called moral relativism keeps the politically correct media from coming out and saying what’s pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain: Scientology is a crock.
It’s a wacky religion concocted by a science fiction writer with too much time on his hands. It’s one of the biggest scams in history. Right up there with the “stimulus” package.
Here’s a great mash-up of L. Ron Hubbard and a South Park episode. It combines the denials of a Scientology spokesman with South Park’s animated version of L. Ron Hubbard’s actual spoken words.
We don’t know which is funnier – Hubbard’s words, South Park’s animation or John Travolta’s pilot uniform. But that’s another story.
We have to go now. We have a call from Xenu on line two.

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People shows its true colors
The NAACP has called for a boycott of the New York Post. In other words, they’ve endorsed censorship.
In a truly bizarre distortion of reality, the organization called the Post’s infamous chimpanzee cartoon “an invitation to assassinate” President Obama.
Benjamin Todd Jealous, the aptly-named president of the NAACP, called for the removal of editor Col Allan and long-time cartoonist Sean Delonas.
Earlier this week, the newspaper apologized to anyone who may have been offended by the cartoon. But the NAACP says the apology was insufficient and called for readers to boycott the Post.
This is like looking at clouds. I look at one and see a cute little bunny. You look at the same cloud and see the violent, Lee Harvey Oswald of chimpanzees.
In the immortal words of Mick Jagger, “Hey, you, get off of my cloud.”

Joy Behar says chimp cartoon is “an assassination threat” on Obama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRGan85AIlAAny day now, psychiatrists are going to walk right onto the set while they’re taping The View and take Joy Behar away to a nice, padded room.
She actually said the infamous chimp cartoon is “an assassination threat” on President Obama. Seriously. She said that. We’re not making it up.
“I think you can be investigated by the FBI,” she declared, “if you make an assassination threat.”
Coming up next week on The View, Behar suggests that Angelina Jolie should adopt Little Orphan Annie, demands increased unemployment compensation for Dilbert, and congratulates Doonesbury on his enlightened drug policy.
Then, as soon as the show is over, she’ll rush off for her annual physical with Rex Morgan, M.D.
Al Sharpton is a moron. Oh, wait, that’s not news.
Reverend Al Sharpton if offended, horrified, and absolutely disgusted that a New York Post political cartoon compared – in his mind – Barack Obama to a monkey. And that comparison is RACIST.
Seemed to us that we’d seen numerous cartoons and PhotoShopped images comparing former President Bush to monkeys. So we did a few Google Image searches.
“Bush” and “simian” generated 38,000 images. “Bush” and “baboon” got 46,300. “Bush” and “orangutan” got 48,800. “Bush” and “chimpanzee” got 132,000. “Bush” and “ape” got 170,000. “Bush” and “chimp” got 182,000. “Bush” and “gorilla” got 356,000. “Bush” and “monkey” got 1,220,000.
Hard as this may be to believe, we can’t recall the good Reverend ever coming to President Bush’s defense and declaring these images racist.
We were going to end this by calling Sharpton an ignorant baboon. But we didn’t want to insult the baboon.
They’re unwilling to draw Obama, we’re willing to draw conclusions
What’s that? You say you haven’t seen any editorial cartoons hilariously exaggerating Obama’s physical traits? You know, like the ones that viciously attacked Bush for the last eight years. Well, don’t hold your breath.
“I had all my villains in place for eight years and they’ve been taken away,” complained Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist Pat Oliphant. “I don’t know that I’ve ever had this experience before, of a president I maybe like. This is an antagonistic art. We’re supposed to concentrate on finding things wrong. There’s no point in drawing a cartoon that’s favorable.”
Our conclusion? Journalists are the only caricatures left in journalism.
