As a woman who holds all our troops in the highest esteem, this makes me sick. This guy doesn't deserve to live in this country.

Benson is an opportunist who years ago did right wing cartoons when the paper was more conservative and flip-flopped when the paper changed.

The correct response IMO is for all enraged individuals to acknowledge the right to free speech, which the Marines they have trashed have died to protect through the years, and then exercise their own freedom of choice and refuse to purchase the newspaper, refuse to patronize any of the businesses who advertise in the paper and finally contact the advertisers and inform them of your decision to no longer buy their product until an apology is printed on the front page above the fold.
Newspapers are the enemy of the United States. The supply lines of the newspapers are the advertisers, we need to attack the supply lines and starve the papers. Who are the advertisers of this newspaper? Starve the MSM by making it ecconomically impossble to buy ads in the paper. IOW if you put an ad in the paper it will COST you business.
I second this motion.
To: LuxMaker
Can anyone who has access to the paper provide the names of some of the more prominent advertisers, especially any large national companies?
I feel like sending them some e-mails.

One thing these Libs do not mind killing is the spirit of our Marines. . .our Military. . .our soldiers. . .
It is clear as well, that with Demrats in power; that we would soon need a Military Draft to provide protection for our country.
And if these Libs keep up their de-moralizing, antagonistic, anti-military propaganda. . .we may need it much sooner. . .
Which would make these slimy Libs very happy. . .better forced. . .'conscripted' by one's Government; than a 'free choice' by an individual. . .if you are a Demrat, that is. . .

Just another example of the MSM campaign to Kerryize Iraq vets with the same "war criminal" crap Kerry tagged the Vietnam vets with.
To: amihow
Benson is a grandson of Ezra Taft Benson, an apostate from the mormon church, and is an arrogant a$$. He thinks he is superior to just about everyone. Calling and emailing him will just add to his self-importance.

Probably the best idea. Marines are in ever walk of life - and especially in business positions. I hope they and their veteran bros as the VFW/ American Legion investigate if the companies they work for advertise in that rag and then pull all advertising. They should also do a letter writing campaign to businesses that are buying ads in the paper.
I am sure there are a few marine retiress in the media market there who would like nothing more to do than go on 'one last mission' for the Corp and organize a campaign to shut that newspaper down.

See the letter I sent to the emails in the post: You do have the right to free speech. You exercised it with this cartoon.
http://www.azcentral.com/sshow/News/Benson/3708_62813.jpg
Others also have the right to free speech, particularly to talk to your advertisers. They also have the right to association and with it disassociation from your newspaper for businesses that they may own or subscriptions that they may have delivered to their homes.
I dont think you really know much about Marines or else you wouldnt have published this piece. You dont know about the tremendous good works they have done, you dont know for a fact (yet) what happened in Haditha, and you dont know just how eager they will be to shut your newspaper down exercising their freedoms in a manner I describe above.
Hold on to your seats.
