Am I right to be disgusted with this editorial cartoon from today's Columbus Dispatch?

[mwb970]

It seems to trivialize the grisly murder of an American at the hands of a terrorist by using the incident as a bludgeon to slam Obama with the ridiculous "he plays too much golf" right-wing talking point.

1. Only to be expected from that RW birdcage liner.

2. I imagine it will be in my local paper tomorrow

Yes, it is a disgusting piece of bullshit that makes one wonder where the hell these people were when Bush was on vacation for a quarter of his presidency.

Just proves the RW has run out of legitimate ways to attack the president.

3. Disgusted, fine. But not surprised.

It's from Wolfe Brothers News and Shoes, after all.

4. Who sat and did nothing when told the WTC was hit by several airplanes? Who ignored Katrina?

WHO GOT BIN LADEN?

5. It makes about as much sense

as a scene showing the cutting-off of W's nose-picking finger. I.e. disgusting, unfunny, bad-taste.

6. Dumb cartoon

[irisblue]

7. YES

it is repulsive.

9. Good for you! "I complained. I was a subscriber"

[Cha]

8. Fucking assholes. RW bullshit and some are falling for it.

[rurallib]

10. RW humor is so bad and so in your face

its like all they have is the selfish gene and nothing else.
Yes, it stinks to high heaven

[ladjf]

11. Too stupid to spend any time on. nt

12. And another example of why I'm an ex-subscriber!

The very partisan, sometimes racist editorial cartoons they choose to carry are one of the reasons I dropped the paper finally, after subscribing for nearly 25 years. I just couldn't stand my money going to pay for that shit. They also are smugly insistent that their editorial bias doesn't seep into their news coverage and point to nutso RWers who call them leftists to prove that they are fair and balanced.

I'll buy the Sunday paper at the store until the coupons stop paying for it.
