***His cartoons depicted the NRA & gun owners as murderous rubes; it was class warfare of the worst kind.***

His “cartoons” bordered on libel. They constantly showed the NRA murdering people and made it look like the NRA was the cause of all crime in the USA.

I still have some of his hateful cartoons from spring 1968. Thanks to Herblock and Landslide Lyndon, GCA-68 got rammed through that fall.

My Dad was assigned to NATO HQ in Naples that summer. I bought a Walther PPK for $55.90 at the R&G club. Later sold it, #^%$#!!

The following year the PPK was illegal to import. The PPK/S was `the gun the bureaucrats built’ later in ‘69.

Good observation. I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it, but you are right. He's not funny at all.

The schoolyard bully, part class clown part tyrant, gaining social status with his “talent” for belittling others. The prototype for social conditioning per Saul Alinsky.

That liberal bully can always be defeated by exposing his dirty deeds with the spirit of truth. You lay his nastiness on the table for everyone to see—simply dare him to be straightforward and sincere. Tell him you don’t think he has the courage to make his point without hiding behind sarcasm and ridicule. It’s a show of strength and the liberal bully has no comeback to it. The liberal will never be able to overcome this because liberalism has made truth its enemy.

This is the way to nuke Alinskyism.
