Quite disgusting the Arizona Republic resorts to regurgitating Al-Qaida talking points. Just who's side are they rooting for anyway?

Years ago, when I lived in Phoenix, I called the AZ Republic to complain about a Steve Benson cartoon. They put me through to Benson, and I tried to explain to him why his cartoon was inappropriate.

Trust me, he's a lost cause and will NEVER see or admit he's made an error. NEVER.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves"

I've seen that posted in offices as:

Unless morale improves,
the beatings will continue

The following is an actual quote by this coward.

"I don't aim to please. I just aim!"

Isn't that cute?

What a disgusting human being this "man" is.

Eloquently written:

I agree. Here's another, less eloquent, letter:


I am sickened and repulsed by your "cartoon" defaming the U.S. Marines and their symbol. You take the gift of freedom bought for you by the blood of men willing to fight on your behalf and disgrace yourself by spitting on it. Change that "p" in "spitting" to an "h", to be more precise.

And spare us, in the coming days, your kneejerk reactionary comparisons between Americans who loathe your execrable editorial tastes and the Muslims who rioted and killed over a cartoon -- you'll only prove Ann Coulter's theories about the media.

On second thought, go ahead and try to make that case, since it's an election year. And you wonder why the grownups won in 2004? Democrats wouldn't defend their own mothers, much less their constitution.

Looks like a mamma's boy to me! Probably got the crap kicked out of him at school a lot for being a sissy boy. That's why he hates war. Sympathy for the cowards of the world.

20 years from now the Marines will still be with us.

And the Arizona Republic will not.

Soap and towels my butt. Get a bucket of wet sand and a stiff scrub brush.

Never been in boot camp? The soap and towel ain't for washin'. You put the bar of soap in a towel, twist the towel up, and use it like a sap.

Now if this man had printed a cartoon of a Moooslem, he'd be hiding in his closet!

I believe you've got him nailed. 'Course that "Don't ask, don't tell" BS won't fare too well in a Navy brig with Marine guards. This a$$h@!e is just like ted rall. They only make money due to freedom protected by those they disdain.
