I say Oliphant has plagerized the "Heckle & Jeckle"...cartoon characters....
In what WAY? That's the question.
MM
demoncRAT demagoguery
Oliphant's senile. What's his editor's excuse?
Oooooohhhhh.... Oliphant better not draw her with thin lips...I'll personally be extremely offended....she is so...so...so...so....so...you know!
I don't think it does, I say this only in the sense that one can argue that it shows a woman or black woman subserviant to a man.
I think it's a nasty political cartoon and one can take it as racist or not, I don't. I think it is in poor taste, and esp the way they draw poor Condi's teeth. Even SNL does this to her.
This country has come a long way. Ten years ago, maybe even five...you'd never see a political cartoon like that about a black figure or woman without a real backlash.

But if she had a D after her name, she would be the second coming. Grrrrrrr.
The author of this cartoon certainly appreciates all this notariety. Especially if we spell his name correctly. His sole objective is to upset and annoy. His mission is accomplished.
I see it as racist because it portrays Rice as an Uncle Tom. In other words, blacks who choose to become Republicans must surely be nothing more than parrots.
The Oliphant types of the world don't give a damn about world stability or national image. If the nation fell into third world standing and toilet paper had to be rationed they would finally be happy.
BINGO!!!
Just wrote the following letter to the Seattle Times. Hope they print it.
Is it so impossible for the Left to believe that someone can actually earn their success by hard work and intelligence as well as solid ethics and virtues, especially if this person is a black woman and a Republican? Since the President chose Condoleezza Rice to replace Colin Powell as Secretary of State, I have heard many derogatory comments from liberals about Condi, ranging from her being a yes-woman puppet of Bush, to some vulgar comments that she slept her way to the top.
This is typical of what the left has become. When a truly brilliant and accomplished woman who overcame the obstacles in a segregated South to become the first black woman and second consecutive black to hold the honored position of Secretary of State she should be applauded by Americans of all political stripes, not tore down in the same fashion that Democrats went after Justice Clarence Thomas.
I hope that by the 2008 elections, people of color, realize that the party that truly recognizes their accomplishments, and that gains nothing by their enslavement in poverty is not the Democratic Party.
I tried to think of current beloved left-wing black leaders and couldn't come up with any. Maybe Obama? Puff Daddy?
I guess you weren't alive in the 40's, 50's and 60's... never listened to "Amos 'n Andy" and stuff like that, right?
This thing here is pejoritive to women, black women, uppity black women, powerful black women, Republican black women, somewhat conservative black women... If you don't "get it," then I can be of no further help because it mocks the judgement of the President for ever having the audacity to elevate such a person to a position of world leading power!!!
Furthermore... It is crystal clear that Liberals are so detestably arrogant that they MOCK anything they disagree with, but can't CONTROL, even to the point of poisoning minds against the very "people" they take for granted as being part of their "plantation!"
To my mind, that is the worst form of racism, bigotry and yes, in this case... even HATRED!!!
Wait, let me get this straight--is Bush the one pulling the strings of this administration? I thought it was Cheney? I'm so confused...
Oliphant was drawing cartoons before Rall was born.
I don't think it's racist. "Assholic", yes.
What makes it "Assholic"?
