OBNOXIOUS Comic Strip in Today's Fresno Bee (Implying Arnold is a NAZI)

It's quite ironic as the liberals are the ones who support the kind of statism the National Socialist (Nazis) of Germany did.

[Cinnamon Girl]

What a non-stop laugh riot for the liberal nuts. "At least he's a nazi!" What a scream. How funny. All Republicans are nazis and love nazis. It's funny 'cause it's true! Hilarious.

[Reagan Man]

I don't support Arnold to become the next California Governor, but these continued slanderous attacks using terms like "nazi" and "fascist", only degrade the entire American political system.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Disgusting.

One of the great things about America is that regardless of family background or circumstances, you can still come here as an immigrant and succeed. Only in the freedom and great promise of America can a man rise to be elected to lead the largest state of the Union, even though his father was a Nazi Party Member.

Remarkable.

[NormsRevenge]

This Recall could have been a real opportunity to show America how a state changes directions without losing the peace.. now it will end up being a debacle seen worldwide, resulting in even more chaos.

Thanks can certainly be extended to Gray / Bill (behind the scenes) & Warren & Arnold & BustyMecHaHaHa for bringing the 3-Ring circus back in fashion.

Too bad. A lot of Californians deserve better than lip service from lefty politicians and mean-spirited agenda driven campaign coverage from the elitist media.

But,That's politics.. Pass the MaaLox... ;-)

Lalo is a jerk. I usually breeze right past his assinine toons when reading politicalcartoons.com.

[Uncle Hal]

In the next few days you will probably see this or a similar cartoon in the LA Times SF Chronicle, NY Times WashPost etc.

[Hildy]

The ridiculous argument for that is that only those with the power to repress can be racist. I'm just reporting.

[Chad Fairbanks]

LOL.... that's what any normal thinking person would do :0)

[Chewbacca]

After seeing the cartoon all I can say is that at least Arnold didn't turn out like his father.

If you look at this cartoon in a different light it shows that the GOP will overlook whether you came from a foreign country or not, and that all have a chance to succeed. It also points out that Arnold has rebelled from his fathers Socialist-Leftist(NAZI) leanings and gone conservative.

A very positive cartoon in my opinion.

[Becki]

Finally embracing an immigrant????

Not like Miguel Estrada, eh??

Not that it really matters since it’s over a decade old, but might as well mention this.

While I don’t recall seeing that particular strip, I definitely remember reading La Cucaracha in the Atlanta Journal Constitution during that time (to be honest, I never really found the strip funny at all, being more confused as to what the heck they were talking about.). It really didn’t last long in the AJC, pretty much getting the boot by... say, 2005, 2006 tops, when voted out by its readership (can’t say I really miss it). Plus, it really seems to make the army look bad, where recruiters are depicted as trying to recruit people in extremely underhanded manners, and they managed to make a lame Star Wars parody, called eStar Wars, which doesn’t even attempt to hide its disgust for Republicans (and also does a cheap depiction of Darth Vader by implying that Vader’s a womanizer who fathered at least one child in an affair [who for some reason is literally born with Vader’s... armor figure] and someone cowed by luchadoras. Though I must admit, it did have a very neat takedown of George Lucas near the end).

And honestly, just because Arnold Schwartzenegger’s dad was a Nazi doesn’t mean that Schwartzenegger himself is a Nazi. There may be things the Arnold deserves to be called out for, but being a Nazi is not one of them. And for the record, the Nazis stand closer to Democrats in terms of politics than to Republicans.

Funny you guys compared it to the Boondocks (another strip I never really found funny and mostly read out of habit. Although, that strip was pretty much the reason why I even HEARD of that disgusting film Brokeback Mountain.), though, because I actually know a classmate at my High School who is the cousin of the guy who wrote that comic strip.
