I don't send him every one I do. Due to the reasons you state... volume, and such. Regarding printing out and snail mailing... you don't understand digital art, the current state of the industry and what's required. I do. When the London Sunday Telegraph requested my work, trust me... they had to have it sent by email. Not because they are overseas, but because of the need for printing 'crispness'. It also saves them precious time from having to scan it, photo color correct it, etc, etc.
exactamundo!
I don't think the NV ever asked for his permission to use those words. I don't see how that "silences" POWs--in the abscence of such words, the NV would allow them free speech? He didn't do anything in 1971 to prevent other veterans from speaking. The point is, the cartoon was dishonest and didn't even make an attempt at humor. It was a lame cartoon all around. There's no defending it on factual bases, on from an emotional standpoint.
But taken in a greater context of his intellectual dishonesty (~post #138?), this guy's response begs a response. He is trying to justify himself by demanding a 'single' instance of Kerry's harm in his testimony, when the truth is that Kerry harmed the veterans by a whole visual and vocal political process.
He can do what he wants, but as you say, a whole lot of electronic jeering is in order.
My email to Boyd.
Dear Mr. Boyd:
If one needed further proof the MWDP, (Media Wing Democrat Party) formerly known as the MSM, (Main Slime Media) and John Kerry are in complete agreement to ban free speech and expression, one needs look no further than your actions regarding Ms. Linda Eddy.
I find it so strange Kerry's attempts to silence the SBVfT consisted of threatening with law suits and legal action the television stations not to run their political adds, threatened legal action against any book stores that dare offer for sale their book, "Unfit for Command", threaten the publisher of the book with legal action for printing the book.
It would appear the Nazi propaganda minister, Herr Joseph Goebbels will prosper very well under a Kerry presidency. On second thought, he now appears to be peeking out from under the bed sheets there in Iowa today.
Now in lock step with Kerry and the democrats, you have silenced Linda Eddy to prevent the people of Iowa of being presented with an opposing view you disagree with. Shame on you Mr. Boyd, as a person, and as someone who profess to be one who should cherish the FIRST AMENDMENT.
THE OLD MEDIA IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE NEW MEDIA.
Have a nice day & happy election returns.
Intellectual dishonesty post #133.
Ah. I didn't know that. Thanks for the clarification.
Regarding printing out and snail mailing... you don't understand digital art, the current state of the industry and what's required.
Nonsense. I've been working in digital art since the early 1990s. I also own two state-of-the-art printers and know full well what their capabilities are in terms of printing out digital art.
When the London Sunday Telegraph requested my work, trust me... they had to have it sent by email.
Yes, I understand that. I've had my works published elsewhere as well. (By the way, I am duly impressed that your work has been featured overseas. Good show!)
My point remains that what's going on here isn't censorship. As another poster pointed out, only the government can censor. Every other avenue of publication is perfectly at liberty to refuse any (and even all) submissions if they so choose...however, they do so at the mercy of the American consumer.
LOL!
Great response to the editor's BS reply, Linda!
See this group of Swift Boats patrolling together? They are NOT SERVING together!!! Only the ones on the SAME BOAT are serving together! Each group of personnel on each boat know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the personnel on the other boat, PERIOD !! If they say they do, they are Republican LIARS !! Unless the one talking is a DemocRAT. Then he is telling the truth, of course.
Do any of you have a Minnesota ping list handy?
Nope
How am I wrong? You don't submit political cartoons to major publications by throwing the email of their editorial editor on you bulk mail list. Even if what you're doing isn't spamming, don't you see how he could think it is?
We've all read and heard Kerry's words,from 1971 and that idiot editor obviously is blind and deaf;not to mention delusional.
It doesnt matter whether the paper is even handed. Its their newspaper. If you cant get published there, take your product somewhere else. Free Enterprise. Remember.
I guess sometimes I can be too much of an optimist.
More proof of why we call it the red star in this house.
LOL!
Be brave and keep fighting...I just sent a note to the comrade editor in chief of propaganda.
I'll let you know his response.
