Like the bailout name..., around here we call it:

Porkapalooza 2009  or

The "We won!", now we have to pay back our generous supporters or

The "No actual new jobs are created by this bill..., just acorn, planned parenthood, abortion on demand, National Endowment for the arts..., stuff like that."

of propaganda.

Read the comments section at the link.

Someone wisely pointed out that the republicans aren't stopping anything, the dems have enough votes to pass it on their own.

As if that obnoxious TIME cover that put eco-parasites on moral equivalency par with the heroes of Iwo Jima wasn't pathetic enough...this nobody from Albany trivializes the sacrifice even further.  The hubris illustrated by these "artists" is simply staggering.  Derivative and lame.

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill

...much of it "in country" during the Korean War, I find that "cartoon" penned by John de Rosier to be despicable beyond words.

This worthless, insignificant little sh*t-stain puke of a cartoonist has managed to use the very freedom he now enjoys to savagely insult the memories of those six brave souls, five who were Marines and one a Navy corpsman, who literally risked their lives to raise the second flag on that spot that day.

Only minutes before, a smaller flag had been placed on that very same spot. In both instances, there were Japanese bullets still flying around all over the place.

Three of the Marines who helped to raise that flag didn't survive the war, and in fact, died not long after that famous photo was snapped.

How dare this America-hating, undeserving ingrate sully their memories in such a hideous fashion.

How dare he compare what those six brave, freedom-loving individuals did that day on that barren island to what those thieving, lying bastards in Washington are currently up to, which is fleecing this nation's treasury for their own gain, and leaving our descendants to foot the bill for their criminal treachery.

While I will defend de Rosier's right to publish whatever he likes with my last bullet or my last breath, it still doesn't excuse what this ass has done here.

As someone who defines "justice" as being when people get what they deserve, it would bother me not at all if this individual were to encounter a Marine on a sidewalk somewhere in Albany, and was taught to respect his ancestors and their accomplishments by having his person solidly bounced off a brick wall six or eight times.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have to clean the puke off my keyboard so that I may compose an email to the Albany Times Union that just might melt their hard drive.

Our clueless political leaders are about to drive us all over a cliff. The time to HITM is now-before we go over.

DISRESPECTFUL!

how disrespectful can one be to ira hayes and the boys, comparing them to a bunch of scumbag democrates!  very insulting!

Being the grandson of not one, but at least three brave American soldiers in WWII, I have to say that it could be a lot worst. I mean, this isn't even at the degree of disgust that the DePalma movie Redacted was. I use the saying that a Supreme Court justice said about obscenity: "I know it when I see it." I know when our brave men and women in uniform are insulted, and as far as I can tell, the only thing I see insulting about it is toward the Republicans. I guess you could argue that what is insulting is that it implies only Democrats wear the uniform, which is quite a stretch to say the least.

As an amateur cartoonist myself, I would say the cartoonist succeeded in what he was trying to do: Incite outrage. Whether you're liberal or conservative, a cartoonist's job is to incite outrage. That was what the Danish cartoonists were trying to do when they drew and printed the Mohamed cartoons: They wanted to confront not just Muslims, but also the liberal philosophers and foreign policy wonks that claim that Islam is a religion of peace. He only fails if you simply ignore it. If you did not want to be disgusted, then you shouldn't read the cartoon. That is the only way the cartoonist fails. If you don't want him to succeed, don't patronize him. Otherwise, I am not interested in standing outside of this cartoonist's office in order to throw bricks at him. You're just giving him what he wants: Free publicity.

...it would be relevant.
