Editor’s note from Fred Hiatt: It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree.

It sounds like “Ann” might be a child-hating, liberal loon.

Maybe a cartoon with Soros as the organ grinder and Barack and Michelle Obama as the monkeys would get the point across. After all, they are fair game.

I don’t get the “racist†part. Can anybody explain it? It's always been a common tactic of democrats to portray white people as monkeys, from Abraham Lincoln to George W. Bush. ;-)

No one grabbed the cartoon so the rest of us can see it?
One of the may reasons I dislike the Compost is the cartoons of Talneas. Found them stupid, simplistic, cliche and leftist-reactionary.

She thought they were fair game just because he put his kids in an ad? Candidates have been including family in ads for years and years.

The Left is REALLY afraid of Cruz. In tandem with Trump, they’re TERRIFIED.
