Potentially homophobic CNN.com cartoon

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

I really think something needs to be done about this. What should we do?

1. Interesting that they can hire gay people like Anderson Cooper....

and yet gay bash like this.

Maybe GLAAD should be informed of this homophobic crap.

4. I was thinking we should start an email campaign or worse

This kind of garbage can't be tolerated.

8. "Thank you very much" Anderson Cooper. He can't hide his affection

when he say's that phrase - I always laugh when he says that (it just sounds funny, I don't care if he is gay or not but I have always wondered).

9. Someone (on DU yesterday) suggested Bill Hemmer was also gay.

There are so many other things wrong with that 'toon, too.

CNN is saying:

Dems are the same as repukes-- equally in bed with corporate pirates.

Dems are too weak to protect you because they whine when insulted.

If Dems can't stand up to Arnold, they can't stand up to Osama.


What a crock!

2. Childish.

That cartoon looks like it was written by a high school student - or younger. It's really quite childish and unfunny.

3. You should see his other work

He's a severe right wing nutjob and quite a fear/hatemonger.

6. that's exactly the problem with roid-boy's comment

it opens the door for other assholes to "defy political correctness" and start calling people names. If this had been a case of calling them a bunch of watermelon eating darkies, I believe it would be a different story.

As for Schwarzenegger, I invite him to a mano a mano with this girlie man. Last I heard, it's some embarrassing shit to get your ass beat by a fag.

Seriously, the implication is the association of gayness with weakness, and implying that anyone is weak invites predators to attack.

7. Could he be any worse than Michael Ramirez?

There's another hateful, right wing, homophobic cartoonist.

5. simple

The special interest argument is a powerful one, and one that applies to the GOP as well as the Dems.

Expose that louse, Arnie, for the fraud that he is. Beholden to the Car lobby. 'nuff said.
