Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Are you kidding, alerter?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Unconvinced it is racist.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You can't possibly be serious with this alert. Can you!? Out of the entire cartoon you got "racist depiction of Obama" because our President happens to be black and the article was critical of the lip service all politicians tend to give the poor and disadvantaged. Well Congratulations.

9. Rall has taken flack before about his drawing of Obama

He is not a great artist by any means, and seems to delight in inaccurate portrayals of his targets. The only way you could tell he was drawing W sometimes was with the label he put on the figure.


In any case, glad sanity prevailed. Rall does go over the top (or rather, hits below the belt) sometimes, and I don't post those. I did not see this one as racist, just harsh. I certainly wouldn't post it to the BO group, however!
