Lipstick on a Pig -- the Political Cartoon too hot for Investor's Business Daily?
Investor's Business Daily | September 11, 2008 | Vanity

Posted on 09/11/2008 6:09:51 PM PDT by Zakeet

Earlier today, Investor's Business Daily posted a cartoon from their resident genius, Michael Ramirez, which perfectly captured the essence of Barry Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment. Copyright restrictions do not allow us to display the toon on Free Republic, but as of the time of this writing, you can view the Mr. Ramirez' artwork HERE.

Later this afternoon, IBD deleted the cartoon from their website, and as you can see HERE, it is no longer listed in Ramirez' archives.

Obviously, the heat's on IBD from the mavens of political correctness.

In my opinion, the only remaining questions now are whether they will pull the above link and when.

If BHO can't (or won't) take the heat, he can get the h*ll out of the kitchen.

Or as Agent J put it: "Don't START nothin'...won't BE nothin'!"

And as my Dad taught me - if the other guy starts it, go ahead and finish it

I think it’s a bit over the top. If we have learned anything from the media attack on Sarah Palin. It is that un-classy and distasteful attacks backfire more often than not. It says poorly of the person who makes it, and most decent voters do not want to be associated with such things.

You’re absolutely right. What’s so offensive? It’s just a typical cartoon with caricatures of a person’s features. There isn’t a politician in history - including Abe Lincoln - who hasn’t been so caricaturized. I’d say it’s pretty mild and much chatter about nothing.

Hardcore, hideously looking, leftist woman's-lib types are jealous of classy ladies like Gov/VP Palin.

The GOP must go after Biden.

Awwww, I was hoping it’d be in my mailbox tomorrow, and I’d get a great rear window emblem on the cheap.
