I wrote a note of displeasure with Ramirez for this cartoon, on the other thread.  In that comment I stated that I do not support anyone depicting the president in this manner.  I do think it is germane to the issue to try to figure out what Ramirez was trying to say.

Is there anyone out there who doesn't think the Democrats are represented here?  They are the ones with the gun to Bush's head over pure politics.

I've been watching Ramirez' cartoons for some time.  Most generally he supports the right side of the isle rather stridently, so it would be out of character for him to be saying anything against Bush here.

If you look at the person holding the gun to Bush's head, it makes (all be it Im-) perfect sense if you see the gun bearer as the democrats.

They are willing to take Bush down by "just about" any means necessary.  If this cartoon is unacceptable, and I too see it that way, what are the actions of the democrats at this time, if not also unacceptable?

While I wouldn't have used this cartoon to get my point across, it's very powerful and not intended to be anti-Bush IMO.

Still, showing a President getting assasinated will get you fired and jailed when the President comes to town.

Good God!!!

You are absolutely right, of course. Since when have the majority of posters here on FR become so ignorant of history, knee-jerk and emotional in their reactions (between this and the Kobe threads there isn't a thimble-full of reasoned thought), quick to jump to uniformed conclusions, and unwilling and unable to actually DISCUSS and DEFEND their conclusions (look at how many people on this thread had resorted to shouting their reaction and then refused to even acknowledge that this is a subject that can be debated)? What has happened to FR?

Jeeeeeez!
