Republican Gov. Susana Martinez also said the cartoons have no place in politics and do not help in her attempt to convince the legislature to repeal driver's licenses for illegals.

You can see for yourself if you watch the video. There is more than a grain of truth in them.

Are we supposed to pretend it’s all Swedes with blond hair crossing the border?

If they weren’t true they wouldn’t care.

Now I see everything is racist unless it is against Christians and Republicans....

[DemforBush]

I thought the cartoons were pretty tame, to be honest. I was expecting the artist to have drawn Tuco Ramirez or something, but I’m not seeing anything here that I would personally consider racist.

‘Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’, Martinez says it all. A sympathizer to her ‘fellow latinos’ even the highly heralded conservative Marco Rubio was originally for amnesty until he realized his base was strongly opposed. Unfortunately minorities tend to vote for their race regardless of choice on issues. (by the way I am a Cain supporter)

Illegal immigration will be one of the major factors in bringing down this once great country.

Martinez called these political cartoons downright racist.

That's terrible you poor soul. Why don't you round up all your buddies that might be offended and GO THE FCK HOME. You won't have to listen to our free speech and we won't have to pay millions to feed, house, and educate you.

I’ve never seen anyone object to a cartoon that slams conservatives - rural Americans, Southerners, married straight parents, Republicans, gun owners, stay at home moms... What’s ‘offensive’ here is a protected liberal victim group is being laughed at - and we ALL know how thin skinned liberals are...

Funny line from the vid: “this proves the fact that that the discourse is out of control.”

discourse
1. — communication of thought by words; talk; conversation: earnest and intelligent discourse.
2. — a formal discussion of a subject in speech or writing, as a dissertation, treatise, sermon, etc.
3. — Linguistics . any unit of connected speech or writing longer than a sentence.

Given the definition there, if it’s out-of-control then it’s neither discussion nor communication.

OK. I clicked on the link, but it was bloody useless. How the hell can you write a news article about supposedly “offensive” cartoons without showing the damned cartoons?

[Stormdog]

“All of these cartoons point to Mexican people.”

Well who do they think the illegals are, Tibetans?

[Publius6961]

Some say newspaper cartoons offensive (NM- Cartoons poke fun at licenses for illegals)

Katie, some say that illegal resident supporters are dimwits.

So what's your point?

[Publius6961]

Unfortunately, one has to subscribe to the Roswell Daily Record to view the cartoons.
RATS!
