All dissent is disloyal. Look at this. LOOK at this!!



Don't these so-called cartoonists and their spotted owl hugging, ozone coddling extremist liberal fellow travelers understand they're helping the terrorists win? It's time for all loyal Americans to shut up and be heard!!!

1. Who cares....... except a freeper, thats for sure
do you think they are showing sympathy when the bombs are dropping in Baghdad? Hell no.

Unless you are something else but for me I think its appropriate.

If you're not sure take a look at this:

There was what.... 6000.... 7000 soldiers that "MOVED" over there that had it pretty good over here.

Well, some of them came back home, Though, just a tad bit different than when they left

I Sure wish they all could have stayed at home.

edit to add: The cartoon is very close to reality, maybe the original poster is right. anything pertaining to Bush depicting reality should be censored according to the 'BEAUTIFUL MINDS' of some.

And I think he was being facetious.

5. Hey DU'ers, Lighten up.
I believe the poster was being sarcastic. At least that is how I took it.

I coulda done that better. I thought "ozone coddling" as an insult was a dead giveaway. But then we'll all be on eggs until November.

(on edit)

Oh, and I should point out that it actually HAS been "censored" sort of. Several US newspapers actually refused to run that toon, despite having distribution agreements with the artist and syndicate. OK, it's not real censorship since they retain editorial control of their own papers and the guy was free to publish the cartoon elsewhere. But it's a sign of how squeamish and intolerant of dissent on a very important topic some in our society have become.
