Want me to walk through it?

Sadly, with this crowd it will require baby steps. Many here are attacking a political cartoonist because of their own stupidity in undertanding it. This thread alone, is why no group should be able to ban things they don't like. Half of the people evidently don't understand what they read. Some even claim it doesn't matter what the author meant, since they think it is a threat so that is that.

Stupidity scares me.

Pretentiousness - well it doesn't scare me, but it irritates me.

Well don't be too scared....

..your of your fellow FReepers 'get it'...OK...

..We get it....but we don't like it.

It's way over the top, and half of America...(the half that voted for X-42..TWICE..) ...will not 'get it'....

..but they'll like it....really like it.

Do you get it now??????

I REALLY regret the slightly demeaning tone of my first post.

I had NO IDEA we'd be 150 posts into this thread in, what, 20 minutes?

As Miss Marple pointed out, you don't have to be "stupid" not to understand the allusion, and the graphic power is quite overwhelming.

"Stupidity scares me."

C.M.Kornbluth's 'Marching Morons' would be a bracing read for you.

'Moogs, would you buy it for a quarter'? ;^)

I gotta get off this thread.

I've never seen a FR thread so full of idiocy. People react viscerally, as it's so much easier than thinking.

Yeah, it's a good thing he didn't use the word niggardly.

"Stupidity scares me."

Right now, and in light of the reaction to this, you should be just about scared to death.
