First, I don't take it as mocking...it's a sad commentary.

And secondly, "taco chicken"?....you should be embarrassed to type something so stupid.

[La Lydia]

The “taco chicken” is an eagle, like the eagle on the Great Seal of the United States. What a cheap shot. And what is going on in Mexico is a tragedy regardless of illegal immigrants.

There’s a fine line between editorial comment and being a jerk. You crossed it.

US Cartoon of Mexican Flag Draws Ire
(Sept. 4) — An American cartoonist’s rendition of the Mexican flag is causing controversy south of the border, where Mexicans say it’s offensive to taint their national symbol with images of drug violence.

Political cartoonist Daryl Cagle’s drawing, which ran on the front page of several Mexican newspapers this week, shows what’s normally a regal-looking eagle at the center of Mexico’s flag riddled with bullets and bleeding. It’s a reference to the drug wars that have riled Mexico and left more than 28,000 people dead there in less than four years. [snip]

What would be better is having an obvious, smiling, proud, drug dealer in the middle with headless bodies surrounding him.

If you have a problem with people desecrating the US flag, you have no right to advocate desecrating those of other nations. Want respect? Give respect. And don’t go down to the level of those whom you criticize for their behavior...

I don’t think the cartoonist is mocking the flag. He is using it for what it is, a symbol of Mexico, to illustrate the violent state of affairs there that is killing their country.

[SJSAMPLE]

I’ve always been sensitive about the portrayal of ANY national flag, but that hit the target.

Remember, those guns, bullets and murderers were bought with AMERICAN money.
