1. In all Honesty,

We have none.

2. DUzy!

3. Canada?

4. I think this toon is somewhat racist. n/t

5. ?

6. Makes Obama look small, shifty and inferior.

It's subtle, but it's there IMO.

[marmar]

7. But he is the president of the U.S., n'est-ce pas?

I suppose I can see what you're saying, but I think it's a big stretch.

[BluegrassStateBlues]

8. I see it too.

[DireStrike]

9. Let's see you draw someone peeking out of a drawer without that effect.

[Cali_Democrat]

10. Of course Merkel, the white German with blond hair, isn't displayed in any inferior manner

[marmar]

13. Maybe because she's the one being spied on and that's the point of the cartoon?

If she were hiding in the drawer, it wouldn't have the same effect, no?

11. You're alone in that feeling.

REASON FOR ALERT:

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Racist bullshit.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Oct 27, 2013, 08:14 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Bullshit alert. There is not one fucking thing racist about this cartoon. Go crawl back under a BOG rock, or at least think of a real reason to try and kill anything not 100% supportive of Dear Leader.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Apparently, this "scandal" was only recently exposed. Had it been so in 2005, Bush would be in that drawer.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Disagree...not racist.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: If it's racist, it's also sexist. I could make the case that Merkel looks short and fat. The truth is when I first saw it, it made me laugh so I'm going to be honest and hang myself out to dry. Jasana
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Ridiculous alert.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

12. No I'm not. See a reply to me

Also, I wouldn't have alerted this post.

[marmar]

14. Wow. There was an alert on this thread?

Pathetic. Deflect criticism, even in cartoon form, at all costs.

[Cali_Democrat]

15. I can assure you it wasn't me.

I only alert personal attacks.

[marmar]

16. I realize it wasn't you. I saw your post upthread.
