Actually, cold works just as well. It will take eons to clean off, much skin coming too!

Scalding hot changes the nature of the charges, if you are caught.

Please consider this
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.

"Factless, cowards, enabling and emboldening our enemies need to be delt with "old testament" style. This goes beyond "Free" speech."

It is ok as free speech and makes Ann Coulter easier to understand!

[mike182d]

That...or they could make use of their right to bear arms.

[InfantryMarine]

Please disseminate to all your email lists and encourage them to contact the AZ Republic links and phone numbers to express their disapproval of their allowing this screed to be published.

Media outlets to should be notified.

Thanks!

Second that.

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

The difference is the "facts" and "observational accuracy" are on Ann's side. Whereas with these guys (folks in the press like Benson)...it pure hate, misdirection, and sedition.

Sedition, libel, slander, and other acts that do not consitute "Free Speech", are like porn...you know it when you see it.

I understand what you are saying...this guys actions just make Ann's point all the more true but, nevertheless, Benson and his ilk are in dire need of facing serious repercussions.

"If and when they get this response they can then smile smugly and say 'See, I told you so'"


No, this is how our County has been lost: We call and charge them as traitors and have them shot at sundown! Nothing less will be surrender.

[longtermmemmory]

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.

[sine_nomine]

Phoenix is a big military town due to Luke Air Force Base. I am always very proud of our milatary and say so in various situations. The majority of adults are, too.

This cartoon should damage the circulation of the Arizona People's Republic to a considerable extent. I hope they collapse.

[MajorTom56]

Why does this girlyman scumbag think that the crap he calls
a political cartoon even rates a response. I've seen some
pretty tough Marines in my time. This guys is a pimple on their a$$!!

b. Unofficial Use or Imitation of the Marine Corps Emblem,
Names, or Initials. Requests from civilian enterprises to use or
imitate the Marine Corps emblem, names, or initials will ordinarily
be approved where such use or imitation merely provides a Marine
Corps accent or flavor to otherwise fungible goods. Disapproval,
however, usually may be expected where such use or imitation
reasonably would:
(1) imply any official or unofficial connection between
the Marine Corps and the user;
(2) tend to create the impression that the Marine Corps or
the United States is in any way responsible for any financial or
legal obligation of the user;
(3) give the impression that the Marine Corps selectively
benefits the particular manufacturer, commercial entity, or other
user, as in displaying the Marine Corps emblem, names, or initials
on musical instruments, weapons, or the like, and in using the
emblem, names, or initials in connection with advertising, naming,
or describing products and services such as insurance, real estate,
or financial services; or
(4) tend to subject the Marine Corps to discredit or would
be inimical to the health, safety, welfare, or morale of members of
the Marine Corps, or is otherwise objectionable.
c. Acceptable Use of Imitation of the Marine Corps Insignia.
No request for permission is required when a use or imitation of the
Marine Corps emblem, names, or initials includes prominent display
of the disclaimer, "Neither the United States Marine Corps nor any
other component of the Department of Defense has approved, endorsed,
or authorized this product (or promotion, or service, or activity),"
as an integral part of the use or imitation. A "prominent display"
is one located on the same page as the first use of the insignia (or
in the case of a product or object other than a document, on the
same side of the product or object upon which the use first
appears), prominent in that use, and printed in letters at least
one-half the size and density of the insignia. The Marine Corps
reserves the right, however, to review or screen any product or
advertisement to ensure the proposed usage upholds the dignity and
reputation of the U.S. Marine Corps and to ensure such use does not
subject the Marine Corps to discredit or adversely affect the
health, safety, welfare, or morale of members of the Marine Corps,
or is otherwise objectionable.

5. Action
a. Redelegation of Authority. CMC hereby redelegates, pursuant
to the authorization in paragraph 4 of reference (b), authority to
grant written permission to use the Marine Corps emblem, names, or
initials, including their use on state license plates, to the
Director, Administration and Resource Management Division (ARDE).
(1) Prior to granting approval for commercial usage of the
Marine Corps insignia, CMC (ARDE) shall forward such requests to the
Director, Judge Advocate Division (JAR), for comment and
concurrence. CMC (JAR) will in turn forward these requests to
Counsel for the Commandant (CL) for concurrence or additional
comment as appropriate.
(2) Written requests for permission to market products
displaying Marine Corps insignia in Marine Corps exchanges will
be coordinated between Morale, Welfare, and Recreation CMC (MWX)
and CMC (ARDE). CMC (ARDE) will send copies of these written approvals
or disapprovals to CMC (MWX).
b. Procedures for Obtaining Written Permission. Requests for
written permission to use or imitate the Marine Corps emblem, names,
or initials shall be in writing and shall be directed to CMC (ARDE).
The request should, at a minimum, contain the following information:
(1) name and address of the requester;
(2) a description of the type of activity in which the
requester is engaged or proposes to engage;
(3) a statement of whether the requester considers the
proposed use or imitation to be commercial or noncommercial, and
why;
(4) a brief description and illustration or sample of the
proposed use or imitation, as well as a description of the product
or service in connection with which it will be used. This
description must provide sufficient detail to enable the Marine
Corps to determine whether there is a reasonable tendency to suggest
such use or imitation is approved, endorsed, or authorized by the
Marine Corps or any other component of the Department of Defense,
and to determine whether it may serve to discredit the Marine Corps
or be inimical to the health, safety, welfare, and morale of its
members, or is otherwise objectionable; and
(5) in the case of a noncommercial use or imitation, a copy
of the charter, constitution, bylaws, and similar organizational
documents of the requester, together with a detailed description
of its function or purpose. Insufficiently specific requests
will be returned for additional information.
