I just received a link to this cartoon from a co-worker by email. The cartoon shows the lack of respect and disdain for the dead American war heroes and their families. Please blast Newsweek/MSNBC for propagating this filth its it's magazine and on its' website.

[Chieftain]

Check this out, then blast 'em!

Just damn!

This may or may not be a new acronym for this network: BS-MNC.

Ted Rall and Aaron McGruder, perhaps you could go work there. Unwatchable comics on a network that no one watches.

It's a bit difficult to figure out just what the cartoonist meant. However, if we but assume the ol'gal sitting there looking at the paper is a mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Liberal intent on voting for John Kerry or an abortionist, then we might take it to be a revelation of their mindset.

Liberals are not, after all is said and done, really human. Totally different species ~ different planet ~ should be sent back!

[noscreenname]

I did.

And, as an aside, Ted Rall is missing from the pMSNBC.com/comics page today.

Hope that's permanent!!

[Always Right]

If they left could get away with it, they would dance in the streets and parade around the dead bodies of American soldiers.

[Huck]

Oh man...I get their point, but this is BAD. I don't think they mean "we're glad us soldiers are dying." I think they mean that while the gubmint didnt want the coffin photos getting out, these pics are MUCH worse...the coffin photos are tame by comparison.

[hermgem]

I'm certain these liberals do such things out of sheer patriotism.
Any thing less would be unpatriotic.

[Tamzee]

The left consistently sullies our soldiers and their sacrifices.

[Dane]

What else do you expect from a Gannet owned newspaper and MSNBC.

[kellynla]

Ya know I don't care what this moronic cartoonist meant but war dead is not subject matter for comics! PERIOD!

And the sooner newspapers and liberals learn some respect for human life whether it be the unborn or those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom the better off we all will be.
Semper Fi,

I am at a loss for words. Truly despicable.

To their credit (nominally), MSNBC (the Internet news side) had a bunch of moderate to conservative writers & researchers on their staff (at least when I worked there 1998 - 2000). When they hooked up with Newsweak, they would simply link to the Newsweak site without comment or endorsement. Later (after I left) I noticed that they appeared to be assimilating into the Newsweak style. Mores the pity.
They are all newswhores now.

When the Ted Rall Tillman strip was run, MS-NBC refused to run it as it violated their standards of fairness and taste.

I asked the lead editor to send me a list of just what those standards were. I still have not received a response.

Ted Rall's crime was not in criticizing dead soldiers or the Bush administration, his crime was that he made Democrats look bad (even though they say these same things on Democratic Underground every day).

In the nature of EQUAL TIME and fairness and accuracy in reporting:

U.K. Has `Indications' Iraqi Abuse Photos Are Fake

U.K. Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon said there are signs that photographs the Daily Mirror published purporting to show British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners may be fake.

``There are strong indications that the vehicle in which the photographs were taken was not in Iraq during the relevant period,'' Hoon told members of Parliament in London. The photos showed troops urinating on an Iraqi in the back of a truck.

U.S. calls for Arab retractions

The day after a WorldNetDaily report revealed that photos circulating in the Middle East that depict GI's raping Iraqi women were fake and had originated from pornography sites, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement calling on Arab news outlets to publish retractions.

The embassy statement read, "We have done a thorough investigation of the origin of these photos and have conclusive evidence that they originated on a pornographic web site. They are clearly staged photos, done by actors, as the site itself states."

The Al Wafd newspaper published four photographs on the top of its front page that were alleged show American soldiers sexually abusing female prisoners in Iraq. Al Osboa and Al Mussawer published two of the same photos

The U.S. Embassy called the publication of these pornographic photos, with headlines alleging the involvement of U.S. soldiers, a "fundamental violation of journalistic integrity," and stated that their publication needlessly inflamed an already heated atmosphere.

The people that make these cartoons are just crazy. Hopefully the cartoonist and publisher don't get away with this. Completely disgusting and revolting.

[adaven]

That's just sick.

[Contra]

These sickos are just plain anti-American, there's no other explanation. They also should be lumped in with the terrorists, because as our President said, "you're either with us or with the terrorists." These a**holes are with the terrorists and should be considered the enemy.
