14. You obviously haven't listened to a word I said, It doesn't offend me, I get the joke!

Are you just ignoring my point on purpose? I am amazed at a picture of John Lennon justifying this?

Once again I don't have a problem with the joke text! I have a problem with the image of a democrat holding a smoking gun which has obviously just shot dead a GOP elephant. The image suggests violence. The words don't suggest violence but the symbolism does.

Could I make it any clearer for you!
Could you please stop with the faux apology and the suggestion that because I disagree with you I must not have watched the DNC speech!

If I saw this cartoon format reversed with a Republican shooting a donkey, I would be outraged and I would bring it to the immediate attention of the media, as I'm sure you would too. I won't justify it and you shouldn't either, just because you agree with the side holding the gun!

I don't think this type of cartoon is appropriate or responsible, it suggests shooting GOP. DrewFlorida Sep 2012 #7
