2. I really dislike Rall's racist depiction of Obama.

[Jim Lane]

6. Do you really think you gain anything by robotically posting this?

As soon as I saw a Ted Rall cartoon that criticized Obama, I knew you'd be chiming in with your standard denunciation.

By now everyone knows how you feel. Some of us disagree. I don't bother responding each time because repeating my view serves no goal. If doing your cut-and-paste and not being contradicted turns you on, well, I suppose everyone should have a hobby.

8. Whenever I see Rall's racist depiction of Obama,...

I will express my dislike of that racist depiction.

[Jim Lane]

9. OK, whenever you post it, please consider my disagreement to be incorporated by reference.

That'll save me some typing.

10. No. eom

11. Not only that, Rall himself is an asshole.

He never did fully retract his depiction of Pat Tillmann as a racist murdering thug.

And...

7. Thank you for the Cartoons

12. Man, that ostrich in the last one could be labeled the entire GOP.

And most of their voters. They're looking around, down there, for some of that "commonsense" stuff they all talk about in their campaign ads. It's there, fer sure, in among those grains of sand. I just know it. Right about where the WMDs are!

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Cartoon depicting President Obama as an ape. Rall got banned from Daily Kos for this racist crap.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Oct 1, 2014, and voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Using a detestable cartoon about Obama to somehow defend Rall? Go post it on discussionist.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: gotta go with the alerter here, hide.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: For pity's sake! He is not depicted as an ape. He is depicted as a warmonger which is of course a primate dominance game. Ban the alerter. This is a political cartoon that speaks to the peace and anti-war voters on both sides of the political spectrum.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Fuck off ted rall and your racist bullshit.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is the Perpetually Omni-Outraged Patrol of Yelling Hotheads Easily Annoyed by Drawings (POOPYHEADS) back out in force, or what? Go back to complaining about dick graffiti under bridges or something. Sheesh.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
