I think you should. Seems it's gone over some heads.

I think you should. Seems it's gone over some heads.

Given how many heads its gone over here, how many actual LA Times readers, liberal products of the California public school system, do you think caught on? I'd imagine most of them sitting alone glancing through the paper noticed the novelty of a gun to Bush's head, and reached the same conclusion that many FReepers did.

BCraggo66 and William McKinley in posts #44 and #45 pretty much nailed it.

If you run the idea a little deeper, it could even be MORE sympathetic to Bush: The raw, graphic content of the orignal image during Vietnam, shorn of its context, had a powerful effect on national sentiment.

SMILE. Sorta like the powerful effect the cartoon is having on this thread.

Seems it's gone over some heads.

That's also a point too though isn't it? If the average person doesn't understand it, it's not very clear that it's pro or anti Bush.

At any rate, it isn't the issue whether it's pro or anti Bush for the Secret Service to investigate the matter. What they are interested in is a drawing prominently published that depicts a gun to the head of the President. I don't want the Secret Service to sit there and say "oh, he was making a reference to Vietnam and it's actually pro Bush anyway". I want them to say "we take all things like this seriously".
