Marines Outraged At Desecration Of Emblem In Arizona Republic Newspaper Cartoon!

[in hoc signo vinces]

I got my towel...and a full coffee can...

The enemies of our nation will, of course, use this as propaganda. This puke knew what he was drawing, and the fact it was published is equally repugnant.

Factless, cowards, enabling and emboldening our enemies need to be delt with "old testament" style. This goes beyond "Free" speech.

It's not a surprised to see such trash in the Old Media. But, what really frosts me is that they are offering to sell a print of this cartoon. Go to the link you posted and you will see a link saying "Purchase a print of this photo". That's really over the top.

Where is the Crescent Moon dripping blood with a severed head, captioned: "Allah Cut-throat"?

........oh nvm..... BASTARDS!

[DoughtyOne]

We were just talking about the media's selective focus on another thread.

Isn't it strange how a guy like Ward Churchill can get the benefit of the doubt for over a year while his actions are investigated, and our troops get no grace period for an investigation whatsoever.

The focus on the other thread was Ann Coulter vs Ward Churchill, and which had actually said worse things about those close to the 09/11 tragedy. Churchill damned those who died. Coulter criticized a select few women for their actions. Who got skewerd?

The DM sinks further...

Disgusting. It shows such a lack of regard and respect and understanding of the selflessness and honor of these men and women.

They want us to lose. they want terrorists to kill our brave soldiers. Don't tell me otherwise.

Too bad exile isn't an available remedy for some of these hate-America kooks.

As another poster said, when Zarqawi got his just desserts the libs were burning their flags at half-mast.

I contacted them and told them they were a$$holes. So, I made sure I kept my comments to them in line with what they printed. I told them they have the right to print what they want and I have the right to tell them they are a$$holes. Which they are. They don't have to listen to me call them that and I don't have to buy their newspaper.

Ain't America great or what?

[ArrogantBustard]

You forgot the rope and the rail ... That's OK. I got 'em handy.

[N. Theknow]

And liberals and the MSM have the audacity and gall to attack Ann Coulter for her remarks.

[cvq3842]

I know what you mean.

Too bad we can't send this punk to Saddam's Iraq, and let him draw anti-Saddam cartoons. See what happens.

The American public isn't going for this crap this time.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Words fail me, at least the words we are permitted to use on FR.

The Arizona Republic is such a rag. Benson is well suited to it and vice versa.

[Spiff]

Steve Benson is a dirtbag. He's been one for years and years. His hate-ridden leftist scribblecrap has polluted the Arizona Repugnant for too long.

[Riley]

The Corps bends over backwards to police any sort of improper use of force incidents, whether the outside world knows about it or not.

This cartoonist is an ignorant ass.

Race, you see this shiat yet?

[cvq3842]

I know what you mean.

In my experience, though, a fair number of law enforcement officers are former military.

I'm sure if this cartoonist ever interacts with them, they will make sure they follow the letter of the law exactly, so as not to offend his sensibilities.

I don't know how he'll like it, though.

In the meantime, the reaction to the cartoon may cause a ripple of "see, I told you so" in leftist circles, but the cartoon itself causes a much larger wave of "yes, the left does want us to lose" throughout the country. America's not falling for it this time.

[Brad from Tennessee]

The most effective way to deal with this sacrilege is to gather the phone numbers and e-mail or FAX addresses of this newspaper's advertisers and protest to them. This kind of protest hurts all the way up to the corporate office.

And it has to be nice the scalding hot.

When a marine is messing up, and endangering his unit, by action or indifference...the marines in his unit may punish him accordingly until the marine gets with the program...

It's a purely fictional act portrayed in the movie "A Few Good Men."

Marines take better methods (through increased training, etc.) at ensuring their comrades are up to par with the standards of the corps. Hollywood always sees the worst, and likes to imagine things.

However, for this puke cartoonist...it may be his right to be malicious and fallacious, but it would also seem prudent to give him a "code red" hollywood...style...since it would seem appropo and, I doubt, reason would work.

Tired of lib, pukes, demeaning our military. It's about time seditionists and those of evil intent start to feel repercussions for what they publish.

[eyedigress]

Here's the Assclown!

[wyattearp]

This bastard knows that he can get away with this, because the Marines are NOT the cold-blooded-murderers-of-the-world that he is portraying them to be.

Let this punk do that with an Islamic symbol, and he'll find out who the *#&%#%* murderers in this world are.

[lawdude]

Steve Benson is a hateful little toilet tick. He is embittered because his Mormon Church could see his hatred and kicked him out. He lies about all things conservative and twists situations to conform to his agenda.

In other words, he isn't worth a second thought. (I would love to see him get his comeuppance!)
