Cartoons 5/11/2020

I almost didn't post the second cartoon but decided to since the cartoonist doesn't seem to see the flip side of their argument. How many deaths are okay so long as we reopen the economy?

1. Thx, but the McCoy toon is BLATANTLY Right Wing attacking people respecting virus measures as dumb

I think it would be best if you removed RW propaganda like that.

Glenn McCoy (born 1965) is a conservative American cartoonist, [...] McCoy has also become known for his editorial cartoons published through the Belleville News-Democrat. In 2008, Daily Kos and Mother Jones both commented that one of his cartoons portraying Barack Obama's opposition to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act was "in extremely poor taste".[3][4] In 2017, Chelsea Clinton publicly rebuked one of McCoy's political cartoons, Trying to Trash Betsy DeVos, which drew heavily from The Problem We All Live With by Norman Rockwell.[5] He published his final editorial cartoon on May 21, 2018 after he was laid off from the Belleville News-Democrat.[6]

2. I think I explained pretty well why I posted it.

3. You separated that from the toon and I disagree with your reasoning

I sometimes post RW points of view clearly marked as such, not to give them publicity, but to alert DU members to particular trends or lines of attack they are deploying.

Your toon and your reasoning do neither.

4. Then put me on ignore if you're so easily triggered

Because you've just earned one from me,

5. Don't be silly. I've complimented you in past on your posts, including say "Thanks" for this OP

"triggered"? Get real. You posted RW propaganda with a distant note trying to excuse it, I called it out as such. It seems you are the one who has been triggered to take some kind of action.

I frequently recommend your posts. I have posted appreciation for your posts in the past:

Re: "A HUGE thank you to Yo Mama Been Loggin [View all]"

And posting many other news articles. Much appreciated. . . nt

Go ahead and ignore and create gaps in your feed when people respond to me. Hurts you more than it does me.

I don't put people on ignore and I don't put people on ignore because they disagree with me. You won't see this, but others will have the fuller picture.

7. What is that awful McCoy cartoon doing here?

He's just as bad as Ramirez and Benson (whose crap also inexplicably appears here sometimes).
