Salon runs comic calling assassination of Bush desirable and humorous

Salon ^ | December 11, 2001 | Carol Lay

Discovered thanks to Andrew Sullivan, who posted on his web site:

SALON’S NEW LOW: Would you run a comic strip that treats the murder of president George W. Bush as a) desirable; b) a joke? Salon just did.

[Timesink]

Eight entire minutes and no response? Unacceptable! Bump!

[GoreIsLove]

It seems that as Bush's popularity has risen, the politcal cartoons have become more vicious.

[toddst]

This is sufficent grounds for shutting Salon down, IMHO. Unreal if they get away with such a violation.

[Straight Vermonter]

First of all what the heck is a rarebit?

[Croooow]

What a demagogic, paranoid piece of garbage... and now depicting the assasination of the president is mere "criticism?" Then when we criticize the left, we are censoring them. Welcome to Wonderland, Alice.

MORE HATE SPEECH

but...but...but...it can't be HATE speech. It's from the left!

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

NOT funny. Thanks for the post. These guys, most of the dangerous children posing as adults on the left, need the Rummy treatment...that simple, stern stare with a single obvious retort to their inane questions and comments. It's as if no one has ever said "No" to them before, or told them they were less than brilliant, or original...from parents, teachers, profs. to bosses - the left is breeding and becoming a bunch of shallow and arrogant posers with a single mindset that shifts with the daily cultural tides and without a solid foundation or a clue, and we're all paying for their foolishness.

Anyone who doesn't understand the importance of our energy independence now isn't qualified to write the obit. column.

Maybe the Secret Service has some tutors they can send to the Solon children.

Delayed while going through Diogenes excellent pics. There is not much lower that Salon can go, is there?

[Bahbah]

It's a cheese thing. This could get good.

[The Drowning Witch]

More partisan hackery....hopefully that will get her an interview with the secret service;
I've heard they frown on this sort of thing...

[Hawkeye's Girl]

Pretty lame "comic".

[VMI70]

You know, my sister once ate some cheese at Ted Nugent's house, and guess what happened?...

[Timesink]

hopefully that will get her an interview with the secret service; I've heard they frown on this sort of thing...

Well, someone has to complain first. I doubt anyone actually reads Salon any more.

[livius]

What is this "comic" and where is it published? I thought Doonesbury and - can't remember the name, it's a strip exalting black thuggery - were about this worst, but I think this one has actually wrested the laurel from them.

[Big Dan]

Maybe the cartoonist can get on the Craig Kilborn show, now that they've both publicly taken pleasure in fantasizing about assassination.

What a laugh riot. What wit. How droll. <barf>.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Of course the killing is by a supposed CONSERVATIVE too.

Lay shouldn't of course be charged with any crime except extreme tastelessness, but with Salon already on the ropes I wonder if they are begging for a Darwin award.

That's not what Bugs Bunny thinks it is.
