I agree thaat the attacks on Chelsea Clinton by that drug poppin balloon head were truly evil . because Chelsea wasnt part of anything , she was only te young daughhter of a president.

Me too.

And the attacks on the Bush twins by the Left were equally despicable.

I have never heard any public figure call the Bush twins anything insulting, evil or mean-spirited, never. So don't try to spin this.

Chelsea was a 12 year old child when that monster said that.

You probably know it's been crazy here in New York City with the convention. We have had naked people in the streets. We have had all-night parties, arrests. And that's just the Bush twins." ?-David Letterman

"Barbara and Jenna Bush celebrated their 21st birthday last week with a party at the Cheers Shot bar in Austin. Following Bush tradition, the drinking started at 5 p.m. and will end in 19 years." ?-Jimmy Fallon

"Hustler magazine is offering $1 million to anyone who produces a video of the president's daughter nude and drunk at a frat party. Finally, someone in the Bush family is doing something to boost the economy." ?-Craig Kilborn

"Bush is now in Genoa, Italy. When he arrived today he was met by protesters throwing bottles and cans. In fact, he was surrounded by so many empties, he got homesick for the girls." ?-Jay Leno

"Finally, some good news on the Bush girls. It seems that Jenna Bush is taking up a new musical instrument. She's learning how to play the Breathalyzer." ?-Jay Leno

"Yesterday down in Washington, D.C., they had their second Tee-ball game on the White House lawn. ... Things were going great until the seventh inning when they had to cut off beer sales to the Bush twins." ?-David Letterman

You are really really dense, what you posted has nothing to do with insulting and tramatizing a 12 year old child, by calling her a dog on live radio. Are you this dense?

What does that have to do with the topic at hand, which is the flagrant racism and hate which you see in mainstream liberal newspapers like the Washington Post, and the fact that democrats view blacks who refuse to be democrats as genetically defective and/or as guilty of some sort of racial treason, and effectively treat them as outlaws, i.e. as outside any sort of law of civilized or normal conduct?

Yes, some of these cartoons, and particularly the Danziger cartoon, are racist and unacceptable. But I wouldn't generalize either Democrats or Republicans as racists?-lumping whole groups together is part of the problem, not the solution.

hmmm, you could be right, I havent seen it.
That would be Aunt Yomama.

I used to do political cartoons for a small series of town papers. I drew the mayor of this one town as Boss Hogg and the publisher was his best friend, so Ii got fired (after the cartoon was published). The publisher read everything that was written and drawn. He was anal , so my message needed saying but I was an example of usin a stereotype and that would not be tolerated. Im so not impressed with this issue.
What would we go after Condi about ? You have to remember that the visual is at best a 5 second opportunity to make a point. We ere given cartooning in Art school and we studied some of the old NAst cartoons where the cartoon was so busy that it was almost a story in itself. Our style today is definately made for quick digestion.
I saw one right after election day. It had Bush staring at Cheney and rove with that vapid look hes patented .The line was
"NOW WHAT?".Simple and elegant

But the slurs of the Bush twins I posted are insults and slurs none the less...and by people in the same business as Limbaugh...entertainment

It's not the same.

When you've been caught, on film, drunk, several times,and your father is the president, it isn't a slur, it's a pattern.

Or when you use the secret service agent hired to protect you in order to bust your friend out of jail?

Or how about presenting fake ID's at a restaraunt?

The insults towards Chelsea and the jokes made about the Bush twins are completely different, in that 12 year old Chelsea Clinton couldn't help people comparing her to a dog; whereas the twins brought the ridicule on themselves through their poor judgement and margninally legal actions.

Actually, not like that at all.

What a poor analogy you have chosen to use.

Yup, like rape victims, they were asking for it and deserved every bit of what they got.

Yeah, it's actually not like that at all. To compare the media attention given to the Bush daughters re: their binge drinking isn't comprable to a rape victim in any fashion. I know some rape victims who would have some harsh words for you if they read what you wrote, Larry, though I know you didn't mean it in a bad way.

It is not rationalizing to point out a poorly used analogy....

As I said, "it was an exaggerated response to the claim the Bush girls were asking for it and deserved what they got... like prosecutors sometimes hint to the jury re: rape victims..."

Naw. It was an exaggerated response to the claim the Bush girls were asking for it and deserved what they got... like prosecutors sometimes hint to the jury re: rape victims..

Larry, you're all wet on this one. It was a poor and inflammatory analogy.
