In the 15-plus years we've been residents in Summit County, we've never seen such a blatant exhibition of disrespect and insensitivity as the "cartoon" you chose to publish on Dec. 2.
The musical title of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" coupled with an illustration of flag-draped coffins was appalling given the recent loss to this community of Lance Cpl. Justin Ellsworth. Shame on you.
Is this the one?
A paper or editor can regret being rude,tastless, edgy, controversial, insensitive, but this is the kind of thing that gets buildings burned. Do these editors also have a habit of spitting on babies in front of their mothers, and kicking over motorcycles at biker rallies?
I forgot to add my local fish wrap, The Tacoma News Tribune ran it too. Sickening.
Horrible, simply horrible.
I can only wish someone like this would kick over my Harley.
Typical of the liberals as if they give a damn about our military
Fear not, this is why they won't regain national power anytime soon.
Geez. That's even more tasteless than Ted Rall's Tillman and Condi "House N----" cartoons.

Is it wrong of me to hope that they do? Especially the motorcycle kicking.
I'd pay real money to see that.
Do these editors also have a habit of . . . kicking over motorcycles at biker rallies?
I'd pay real money to see that.
And I'll shoot the video!
That is sick
That POS...freaking low-lifes have to push it, then bitch when they break it.
If you have done much browsing of editorial cartoons over the past 3-4 years, you know that MOST of them anymore are disrespectful and tasteless, not to mention downright hateful. You really have to search out the good ones.
I saw it the other day & was disgusted. I run the Today's Toons thread here on FR & obviously I didn't include it.
of course they do. they are human waste democrap liberals.
liberal is the vilest word known to man. i wish a pox on all of them. may they have to clean up m.moores bowel movements for eternity.
Thanks for posting it. I hope it bites him in the A--. I wrote him a critique of his work. Thanks to SteveMcKing for Markstein's email, we can all write him.
I agree. It's so sick that our local paper news editor said he'd run it again in the paper if he could claiming that it wasn't the "intent" to offend anyone. It's all about intentions with the rat scum.
