Hey, it was just a joke. Just like “Barak the Magic Negro” was a joke. Just like “Back in the Saddle” was a joke. Republican humor should be the subject of a whole college course in abnormal psychology.

1. Lame54, check out the guy's other stuff.

After seeing it methinks the guy isn't as advertantly racist as he is untalented....but inadvertantly...that's a whole other issue.

6. This story from the other day:

Like I sad...I don't think the guy trying to be advertantly racist...he just wasn't thinking about the crap me made.

Then again I could totally be wrong about the guy...might have no problem considering Obama and any black man a chimp.

It just helps to put it into perspective to see this cartoonists one trick pony schtick.

I'm not defending the guy in the least...just trying to get the big picture.

2. That's the first time I saw that cartoon.

It's wrong on so many levels.

3. Where is the humor or commentary in that cartoon?

Just looks violent to me. Certainly doesn't make me think.

5. I remember studying passive agression

and this is prime example of it...scary thing is this is standard bearer of dangerous BULLIES.

Like, they bomb someone and then say, "It was just a joke! stop taking things so personally!"

and somehow, they've become the victim, at least in their small little minds.
