Those warm-hearted, feeling, sensitive souls of the liberal media are at it again. In a cartoon that this morning's Los Angeles Times found fit for publication, Jeff Danziger indulges his fantasy of a group of police and military unleashing a fusillade at Ann Coulter. He even manages to work in a bit of catty sexism, suggesting that the object of his apparent hatred is a bottle blonde.
Let's play one of our favorite games: 'Imagine.' Imagine that a conservative columnist had drawn a cartoon depicting a liberal woman icon as the target of a hail of police and military bullets.
Enter our NewsBusters pool: how long would it be till NOW threw up a picket line and called for a boycott? How many self-righteously outraged editorials and op-eds would we have to endure? Sample line: "This despicable gesture amounts to an invitation to violence against women, debasing our nation's political conversation. It is further evidence, if such was needed, that for the right-wing, political differences can and should be resolved by resort to arms, etc."
Shall we hold our breath for MSM condemnation of the Danziger cartoon?
I don't mind cartoons attacking any viewpoint as long as they're actually funny. This one isn't and sure as heck isn't drawn very well.
As for the cops shooting, Ann has made more than one suggestion of violence aimed at her liberal targets.
( No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)
Har. I'm pretty sure Ann's a real blonde.
It's still something of a wonder to me that Pat Oliphant wasn't hounded into retirement after that one.
Heh... I volunteer for verification duty, sir...
****
LOL
I believe I've seen pictures of Ann as a child showing her with dark hair, or at least darker than it is now, but blonde hair photographs funny sometimes and looks darker than it is, so you might be right. That's not the point, though. The point is that this guy has some kind of hang-up about women. He insults women rather than challenging their ideas in a firm, well-defended, manly way. This shows cowardice, intellectual weakness, and a contemptible childishness. Emphasis on "contemptible."
Very interesting post history you have. You seem to have a liberal opinion on every subject, with a couple of fake-sounding anti-immigrant posts and some weird-sounding neutral ones about crabs, of all things, to try to make yourself look real. I guess we shouldn't be surprised if you make excuses for liberals threatening violence against conservatives.
And don't you dare try to signup-date attack me. You've been here only a few months longer than I have, and you've done nothing but troll.
(Seriously, everyone, look at his posting history on his home page. It speaks for itself).
I took up your suggestion and looked at GF's comment history. You're right: the guy's a low-profile troll.
It is not even funny......not even a little bit.
Aren't cartoons supposed to be funny?
Misc ping list
SoCal ping list
Others
There are people who think that's funny. Your average bedwetting liberal is probably peeing in his pants right now.
Ms. Valentine, I already knew you had a good eye, and your troll detection skills prove it! ;)
Just as we know beyond a reasonable doubt that there are al Qaeda sleeper cells within the United States waiting for whatever orders they require to go "active", we should keep in mind that there are no doubt sleeper trolls (some nonsensical, some very serious) who are right here on FR and their purpose is to sow suspicion, discontent, distrust and confusion and to waste JimRob's bandwidth.
And when we detect them, we all know the cure, which is **ZOT** !!!
The anti-Coulter loonies need some serious psychotherapy. Years of it.
That's an Oliphant cartoon, not Danziger. Blame where blame is due, and all that.
At any rate, a pox on both their houses.
LOL! Jeff "Combover" Danziger!
He may have meant it as an INSULT, but I smile everytime I see it. :o)
