Lipstick on a Pig -- the Political Cartoon too hot for Investor's Business Daily?

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.

you can put lipstick on a capitalist pig.

Wow! That was odd, there wasn't anything profane, or out of place in your post 10... At most it was an opinion that some folks might disagree with (although I have to agree with what you wrote) but it was just an opinion.
I should have copied it before my post (I usually do that, to save people from having to flip back - but I didn't do it this time... Oh well, my post will just be dangling in the wind with some vague reference to deleted remarks).

Very appropriate! I think many democrats are thinking the same thing about now.

Democrats on Capitol Hill fear Obama fallout
By Andrew Ward in Washington

Democratic jitters about the US presidential race have spread to Capitol Hill, where some members of Congress are worried that Barack Obamas faltering campaign could hurt their chances of re-election.
Party leaders have been hoping to strengthen Democratic control of the House and Senate in November, but John McCains jump in the polls has stoked fears of a Republican resurgence............

Would have been better without the caption.
I guess it needs to be added to the banned animal list:
no monkey business referrals
no chickens to roost comments
no pigs with lipstick analogies
I’m guessing dogs.... are next, which reminds of the
Standard White Poodle / John F. Kerry
At least Kerry was fair game, Obama’s skin has obviously been designated too delicate and holy to blemish

I’m completely shocked and horrified that Miss Piggy would display cleavage like that. Has she no taste, no breeding??

No problem, I think that we cannot question the administrators why they put this stuff as a headline thread on the main page.

Hah! ... You're right - I just saw it on Post #6. Speed reading kills, I missed it when I made my post #43.
Apologies to the Moderator, and for casting negative aspersions about the Free Republic:
My Post #43:"That was odd, there wasn't anything profane, or out of place in your post 10..."
It turns out the original Post was #6 -- and it is still there (oops)...

I guess many here just want to live on red meat...That would be me. Obama is an execrable slime.

Obviously, Ramirez hates black people....
I’ll be waiting for Kanye West to decide officially though.

Baptist? I'm Orthodox. Maybe we both should be Methodists.
