Doonesbury's colorful Sunday comic strip on October 12 was a complete mudslinging negative ad on behalf of the Obama-Biden ticket. Newspapers ought to charge someone for this kind of blatant electioneering. Radio host Mark Slackmeyer declares:
Hey, folks! Have you been wondering why Republicans have suddenly stopping talking about "family values"?
Could it be because a divorced John McCain chose as his running mate a stay-at-work mom who hid her last unplanned pregnancy...
And who has a pregnant, unwed teenager with a self-described "******* redneck" of a boyfriend who "doesn't want kids"...
...And an ex-brother in law who Tasered her nephew, and a husband with a DUI who loves his country so much he joined a secessionist party?
All of which leaves the GOP clinging to one remaining family value -- the shotgun wedding! All previous values are null and void because "life happens"!
The strip ends with Slackmeyer promising "a rebuttal from my gay, Republican ex-husband!" The former lover replies "Hey! My private life is off-limits!"
All in all, it's another strip that could prompt someone to say: "Doonesbury. I remember when that strip was funny. Disco was king...."

October 14, 2008 - 00:25 ET by ArcherBOh my friggen God. Are you so retarded that you even have to ask that question (no offense to the retarded)?
Even the friggin mafia has enough class to not go after families. I don't care if Palin's 13-yr-old daughter was a heroin addicted whore with nude adds in the local sex rags, or if Sarah has no idea who her "real" father is, but she's narrowed it down to a team... YOU DON'T GO AFTER THE FAMILIES, NEVER-NEVER-NEVER!
Seriously, Do they let you outside unescorted and without a helmet? Do they let you use your own utensils? No one with the lack of intelligence required to ask that question should ever be trusted to wipe their own backside, much less function in public. I can honestly say that I have never im my days met someone so incredibly stupid enough to ask that question in my entire life, and I come from East Texas!

how is it wrong?
October 13, 2008 - 23:16 ET by candanceYou're really asking how it's wrong?
-stay at work mom. That's right, Palin should stay barefoot in the kitchen where she can raise her five babies properly, but Obama and Michelle can raise their two children quite aptly. ZERO evidence Palin neglects her children.
-brother in law who tasered his son. Because the actions of a brother in law have everything do to with your personal qualifications. How about I show up at your next performance eval and tell your boss that there's drama in your family so maybe they should blame you for it. HER family values have NOTHING to do with an ex brother in law.
-hid her last unplanned pregnancy. Hmmm maybe this had something to do with not wanting to hear taunts of "stay at work mom." She announced Trig after four months, possibly because she was afraid of a miscarriage at the age of 44, possibly because she didn't want it to be a public distraction. Hardly what I would call hiding a pregnancy.
But whatever bal. Whatever it takes to excuse the crass behavior. When Doonesbury posts crap like this about the Obamas then maybe I'll believe they really care about "the truth."

Following from my last post
October 13, 2008 - 23:43 ET by nicholas nicklebyNow, if you want to take this cartoon seriously, we can: we can talk
about how McCain committed adultery while married to his first wife;
and, while I totally agree with Candance that Palin is not responsible
for her brother-in-law--after all, she didn't pick him--she did pick
her husband, who was registered in a political party with secessionist
leanings; and as for Palin not showing any parental neglect of her
children, I think that's probably true--except if you think she should
have done more to prevent Bristol's pregnancy and if you think it was a
little neglectful to fly to Mat-Su hospital in Alaska to have Trig when
her labor began in Texas.
Those are all open to discussion I think, but you're right, Candance,
the brother-in-law is not. Also open to discussion: the report that
Palin abused power to get brother-in-law Wooten fired.
Not from a Clinton supporter
October 14, 2008 - 00:22 ET by ArcherBThere is not a single Democrat in the world that can go after McCain for infidelity after Bill Clinton. Oh, and Bill Clinton didn't just get out of spending 5 years being tortured, assuming that McCains infidelity rumors are even true.
So, if you know any Democrats that have the onions to even mention that crap, I want eveyone to ask them, "Did you support Bill Clintion? Yeah? Then STFU you little partisan bitch!"
"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary."
--Ernesto "Che" Guevara
whoa there
October 14, 2008 - 09:12 ET by nicholas nicklebyBill Clinton didn't just get out of spending 5 years being tortured, assuming that McCains infidelity rumors are even true.
First, they are true--he's talked about it himself. (It comes up even now as one of his great regrets.) Second, if I'm reading you right, you just claimed that McCain's experience as a POW somehow gives him a get-out-of-jail-free card on infidelity--is that right? I don't see that the two are related--it would be like claiming there's a whole different set of laws in the Constitution or rules in the Bible for POWs.
Lastly, Bill Clinton did cheat on his wife, and you're right, it would be a double-standard for people to excuse Clinton and damn McCain. (In fact, I'm not seeing a lot of people damn McCain for this--like at the DNC, every Democrat I see is gushing praise for McCain. The worst thing they ever say is that he "doesn't get it" or is "erratic.")
But, on the other hand, the Republicans have run recently as the party of family values--so, what might get to people isn't the fact that McCain (like Clinton) cheated, but that McCain's personal history seems to undermine the Republican image.
(This does not however excuse the Democrat who took over Foley's seat, who is now in a sex scandal of his own--that guy ran on a campaign of family values, and his actions (having an affair with an employee) shows him to be hypocritical.)
It's not the cheating
October 14, 2008 - 09:37 ET by ArcherBI don't care that Clinton cheated. That's none of my business. However, when a CEO bangs and intern, he is guilty of sexual harrassment. When a General bangs a Private, he is guilty of fraternization. If either of these two lie about it in court under oath, they are guilty of perjury.
What makes this relevant is that Democrats were screaming, "It's just sex! It doesn't matter!" Now they are screaming, "It shows a lack of character!" You can't have it both ways. And yes, sex did matter as it was a sexual harrassment case that was being tried!
As for McCains "Get out of jail free card", who knows what happens to a man after 5 years of torture. I was a different man after two years of regular service. I don't even want to imagine the changes that McCain went through. Either way, it was a very long time ago and no one but those involved know what really happened. McCain's first wife could have told him, "I got needs so I did the Wildcat basketball team." Who knows? I don't, and you don't either. So, I'm not going to prosecute a man over a truly private matter when I have no idea of what really happened.

I wouldn't scream "It shows
October 14, 2008 - 10:11 ET by balboaI wouldn't scream "It shows a lack of character." I would question why the whole "family values" stance suddenly isn't as important as once portrayed. It doesn't bother me that Palin's daughter is pregnant. I find it interesting that the right suddenly isn't bothered, either.

October 14, 2008 - 10:31 ET by well99So your saying that the right thinks kids dont make mistakes?Since you feel the need to generalize here is the lefts values.

October 14, 2008 - 10:52 ET by balboaI don't think the right thinks kids don't make mistakes (that's a tortured sentence). I think they're quick to condemn when it occurs on the left, and not so much on the right.
balboa
October 14, 2008 - 11:30 ET by well99So how is that any different then the left?It is acceptable to call McCain on his age yet you cant bring anything up on Obama.If you do your racist.Just a note:Are you filling in for Jason C?(that's a tortured sentence),I freely admit to torturing sentences.Abuseing paragraphs and trounceing nouns,verbs, and pronouns.
Haha. I don't really like
October 14, 2008 - 12:35 ET by balboaHaha. I don't really like torturing sentences as much as I do subjecting them to enhanced coersion techniques. :-)
I think it's ridiculous all these claims of racism against Obama. It's a lame argument by liberals. But racism has always been a touchier subject than ageism, as Diane Court would tell you.

October 14, 2008 - 13:30 ET by well99Enhanced coersion techniques are effected on sentence structures.Many have been broken using that technique.Diane Court.I dont watch many movies so you lost me there.As far as ageism.Dont make me call the Gray Panthers on you!Being a military brat I lived all over the country.So I have seen racism as most folks have.So throwing it out there without good reason will weaken it in just causes.
character
October 14, 2008 - 10:31 ET by AgnosticFar be it for me to defend the right on this issue but I think there is a difference between recognizing a societal problem and wanting to address said problem and singling out an individual with a problem.
If the left or right wants to debate a given problem and attack ideas and political records that show a contribution to improving or exacerbating a problem then that should be within the realm of proper debate. However, to single out an individual especially one not directly involved in public office is incorrect. Unfortunately this happens on both sides but it is my opinion that the media seem to come down only on one side of this issue in that they will attack anything linked to a Republican and let a Democrat connection go unreported unless shamed into doing so.
still--whoa there
October 14, 2008 - 14:48 ET by nicholas nicklebyArcher,
you're right that I don't know everything that went on between McCain and his first wife, except for what he's said on the matter (which has been very simply that he cheated on her with a younger woman, Cindy). Like you, I also think sex is not a public issue (unless it has to do with abuses of trust, like sexual harassment or perjury).
But the issue which Doonesbury brings up (only briefly) in relation to McCain is that it's hard to run a "family values" party when your nominal head is an admitted adulterer. Which seems accurate--have you been hearing much about family values this campaign?
(Also, I reject totally the idea that veterans or men in service should have a special morality applied to their actions; what they should have is the support to reintegrate into society, not a special, lower set of standards. Really, to say that McCain should be excused of his adultery because he was a POW is very much like saying that his years as a POW rendered him mentally incompetent--not liable for his own actions.)
Really, to say that McCain
October 14, 2008 - 16:48 ET by Dan The Man 2Really, to say that McCain should be excused of his adultery because he was a POW is very much like saying that his years as a POW rendered him mentally incompetent--not liable for his own actions.
One thing McCain has done to merit forgiveness is ask for it and admit his sin. I dont remember President Clinton asking for forgiveness or saying he was wrong, Obama for taht matter on any of his indiscressions with Wright or ACORN or any other various sins.
That is what sets real men apart from weenies. Look to Jesus for real men.

forgiveness requires contrition
October 14, 2008 - 20:17 ET by nicholas nicklebyI agree, Dan--mistakes need to be admitted before forgiven, but there's no get-out-sin-free card for those who have already sacrificed, such as our servicemen and POWs--we can't go around treating them like they're less than human, like we expect less from them.

October 14, 2008 - 21:00 ET by well99"I agree, Dan--mistakes need to be admitted before forgiven, but there's no get-out-sin-free card for those who have already sacrificed, such as our servicemen and POWs--we can't go around treating them like they're less than human, like we expect less from them."
What do you think the chances are of you coming back from being a POW and there not be changes in you?Look at the time period when this happen.I am not excuseing it.I think people need to look at it with a open mind.If he didnt have PTSD I would be surprised.You might also remember he tried to commit sucide after they broke him.Maybe that will give you some insight.This is a man that turned down a chance to go home early.That had to take courage.
I think we agree
October 14, 2008 - 21:38 ET by nicholas nicklebyhey well99,
I agree with you, too--it took courage for McCain to turn down an early return. And I agree with you that any POW or serviceman has the right--no, that's a crappy way to put it, let me put it this way:
We, Americans, have the responsibility to make sure that our servicemen do not suffer physically or mentally because of their service. (In an early post on this thread, I said something like that in a response to ArcherB: I wrote "what they should have is the support to reintegrate into society"; I was thinking primarily of PTSD, but also of prosthetic limbs and physical rehabilitation.)
I don't think there's any actual disagreement here between us; I just wanted to point out that ArcherB's comment seemed wrong. We owe our vets, definitely, but we can't punish them by expecting less.
(For instance, if his adultery were a result of his horrific experience, we might understand why he committed adultery, but we wouldn't excuse it--we would try to help him work through that issue in a moral way. For maybe a clearer example, let's swap out adultery for alcoholism: if a POW comes back and tries to find solace at the bottom of a glass, we may understand that that is what he is doing, but we wouldn't necessarily condone it--we wouldn't stand by and let him drink himself to death. We would want to get that POW into counseling, probably.)
but there's no
October 14, 2008 - 21:55 ET by Dan The Man 2but there's no get-out-sin-free card for those who have already sacrificed, - Sure there is - Jesus forgives all sins, past present and future. As teh unbeliever you are I know you don't understand the concept of forgiveness as God understands it. John McCain understands it and I doubt if BO does. BO is not a Christian, probably never wanted to be one either.
Where did you get this crap "such as our servicemen and POWs--we can't go around treating them like they're less than human, like we expect less from them" from? I know what you put it in there for but it was very Trollish to say the least. 10 demerits for NN.
Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.
You misunderstand Dan--look
October 14, 2008 - 22:10 ET by nicholas nicklebyYou misunderstand Dan--look at that whole sentence again: there's no get-out-of-sin-free card for those who served just because they served. (In other words, they don't get special treatment--God loves all his children.)
If I wasn't clear in that one sentence, the other posts here should clear up the confusion.
(As for my comment about "we can't go around treating them [servicemen] like... we expect less from them"--I stand by that comment. Servicemen are every good as anyone else. I disagree completely with ArcherB's comment on how we should have lower standards for POWs. If you agree with him, than I suppose I disagree with you. Not that my disagreement will make you lose any sleep, right?)
hilarious
October 14, 2008 - 09:56 ET by candanceBut, on the other hand, the Republicans have run recently as the party of family values--so, what might get to people isn't the fact that McCain (like Clinton) cheated, but that McCain's personal history seems to undermine the Republican image.
I love how lefties use the hypocrisy card as their last resort, as if Democrats never run around talking about family values. John Edwards made his anniversary a big PR thing and quoted from the Bible in stump speeches all the time. Hillary Clinton campaigns in churches on Sunday mornings. Michelle Obama whines about how hard it is to be a good mother in almost every interview.
But only Republicans have an image of good family values. Right.
PS - As for McCain I think he's a jerk up and down, so you won't hear me defending him.
Party platform
October 14, 2008 - 15:10 ET by nicholas nicklebyhey candance,
You're right that individual Dems do make much to-do about family values, and then get caught with their pants down--like that guy in FL recently.
The difference I was pointing to is that the Dem PARTY does not run as a family value party. For instance, Larry Craig was a model Republican in his opposition to civil unions for homosexuals, and then he gets caught with his pants down (literally!). So, his hypocrisy is not merely personal, but also related to his party. Now, if he was the VP candidate, we wouldn't hear much about homosexuality, right?
So, in the same way, the Republican party this year seems to have toned down its message about family values.
On a side note, do you think McCain is a jerk politically? I mean, do you disagree with him politically--do you think he's a RINO?
as for Palin not showing
October 14, 2008 - 07:03 ET by motherbeltas for Palin not showing any parental neglect of her
children, I think that's probably true--except if you think she should
have done more to prevent Bristol's pregnancy and if you think it was a
little neglectful to fly to Mat-Su hospital in Alaska to have Trig when
her labor began in Texas.
Just FYI, nick....her labor didn't "start"....she was leaking amniotic fluid. You don't know how long after that the contractions started (don't you think it would be all over the place if she were having contractions all through the plane trip?), and a woman having her fifth child is not ignorant about labor, so don't jump to conclusions.
Secondly, if she thought there was a problem, it's not outrageous that she wanted to get back to her own doctor, in a matter of hours, by the way, not days.
A woman having her fifth
October 14, 2008 - 07:18 ET by cocodrieA woman having her fifth child knows exactly what to expect. The way things turned out shows that Gov.Palin used excellent judgement. I agree that she wanted her own doctor and not a stranger. It's not likely she had to find a cab for the ride to the hospital when she got home.
"if you think"
October 14, 2008 - 09:01 ET by nicholas nicklebyhey mother, hey coco,
like I said, "if you think" that she should have done differently re: Trig's birth, then you might question her as a parent--but if you don't, then you won't question her as a parent.
I purposely left it open because there's a lot that we don't know about Palin--like, maybe past experience has shown her that her labors are long. (I think, according to Palin's account, it was over 13 hours between her water breaking and her arrival in Alaska--before the 45 minute drive to Wasilla. That's not unusual for a birth, though one would expect the fifth to be a little quicker.)
Wow. You sound like a real
October 14, 2008 - 14:02 ET by Jack BauerWow. You sound like a real perv. Most certainly you have no shame. Only someone totally shameless could muse over a woman's labor, in a political forum such as this.
This is the gutter low liberal Democrats have effortlessly plumbed in 2008. I exclude decent Democrats.
Urggghhh, maybe your computer is full of gyno-porn. Whatever, you are clearly getting off on the thought of Governor Palin's pregnancy.
Re: baby Trig...fyi

October 13, 2008 - 23:34 ET by The7SticksThe last time I checked, there are such features as Mallard Fillmore and Prickly City, which happen to be strips from the conservative point of view (you don't hear me badmouthing those strips because I think they're pretty funny... Well, Prickly more so than Mallard.) Plus, you have Opus and Non Sequitur and a couple of others that have various degrees of bias (Oh, how I'm going to miss Opus when it ends November 2nd. I'm still weeping over the end of For Better Or For Worse.)
As for Trudeau, I've actually met him once at UCLA where he was giving a lecture promoting one of his books. He was actually a pretty nice guy (though back then I was far more left-wing than I am now, but on the whole, still fairly nice.) He's probably one of the few prominent liberals who helps veterans from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, what with his visits to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed and his website's fundraiser to help keep Fisher House opened. He even had the foreward to one of his books written by John McCain in 2006, which is saying something since McCain denounced him on the senate floor ten years earlier for his strips making fun of Bob Dole.
So, yeah, you can disagree with his politics, but on the whole, he is pretty cool when you have all your facts down on him.
