EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE TOON!!! WARNING!! ...from our friends in Germany

[Mr_Spock]

Mods - please delete this if is unacceptable - I KNOW that this is a sensitive subject matter - but I thought - we're adults here, and we can comprehend the message in the cartoon here, and why someone in Germany might think this as they look at the situation here. I may be wrong - I appologize in advance for anyone who I offend. :hi:

[getmeouttahere]

1. Sums it up for me!

Nice to see someone actually say what they are thinking, even if they (BushCo) never verbalize it.

[marmar]

2. No offense at all...

I totally get the point. I think it's crystal clear to those outside of this country - I talked to two Brits and two Icelanders over the weekend and they were absolutely appalled and outraged and just pissed.

[OKDem08]

3. sometimes

the truth hurts

[CatWoman]

4. if the shoe fits........

[Union Thug]

5. It may be offensive, but the truth is sometimes painful to behold.

[stevietheman]

6. Why would Condi be offended? She's not black. n/t

n/t

[liberalhistorian]

16. LOL, that's just what

I was thinking! It's amazing to me that she actually knew two of the little girls who were murdered in the Birmingham church bombing in '63; you'd never know it seeing her now.

[existentialist]

24. You'd never know

that she used to work for former Democratic Senator Gary Hart either.

[Mr_Spock]

25. I have serious issues with Condi

I really believe that she has "sold her soul for rock and roll" as they used to say when I was a kid. I find her very existence offensive...

[existentialist]

26. makes you wonder if

she really is having an affair with Bush--about whom she on at least one occasion is documented to have made the Freudian slip of calling her "husband."

Also, God knows that I am far from adept at reading the emotions of people from photographs, but from some of the pictures of her and George III together doesn't a picture of some weird intimacy just kind of jell as at least a possibility?

[Mr_Spock]

27. Ya gotta wonder...

I can say for certain one thing - I'll be glad when the both of them are sent packing!!

[BrklynLiberal]

32. My first thought too. I am sure she does not include herself with "THEM"

[Mein Bush]

31. She's had Michael Jackson's treatment in reverse...

... to serve her master's purposes.

[stevietheman]

46. Now that you mention it, the caricature of her in the comic...

appears to be a striking resemblance of Mr. Jackson. Weird.

[sam sarrha]

41. she is an OREO...!!

:rofl:

[Mr_Spock]

43. Condi is a cookie?

:rofl:

[sam sarrha]

45. Black on the outside ...White on the inside...

:spray:

[Mr_Spock]

49. Ah, I get it

She is a cookie then huh?

[defiant1]

51. LoL....

:rofl:

[rocktivity]

7. Reminds me of an urban legend about OJ Simpson's early days

He shows up a party with two black friends, and overhears someone saying excitedly, "It's OJ Simpson and a couple of niggers!"

:headbang:
rocknation

[AspenRose]

8. Europe "gets it"

I've said it before: My black father, a GI in Germany in 1968, was treated better by Germans than by whites from his own country, whom he served with shoulder to shoulder.

[Tim4319]

9. No offense taken!

This is just the mindset of this administration!

[niallmac]

10. I don't think it's inappropriate. I think its' spot on.

Maybe the New Yorker would carry it? ...doubt it but what's wrong with calling this racist fundamentalist sociopath a murderer by neglect?

[mcctatas]

11. The only thing I find offensive about that cartoon is that they made bush

look like a donkey when he clearly resembles a chimp. Otherwise, spot on accurate summation of his administrations attitude!

[uppityperson]

12. Thanks for the laugh. I do find Mr.bush offensive, but don't delete please

[Wetzelbill]

13. woa...that is speaking your mind....

I bet the Times or Post won't include that in any of their political cartoon sections. :)

It's even more offensive that it's pretty much true. But, the word "poor" needs to be in there somewhere. Their biggest sin may not be the color of their skin, but the amount of coin in their bank account or pockets.

[gulfcoastliberal]

14. It's true - shootsfrom the hip. Ithink we're all grown ups - censoring

this totally relevant and true toon because of the N word is unacceptable to me as a DUer.

I honestly doubt Condi felt any differently than what the toon says.

[lonestarnot]

15. Should've named it KKKarl!

[progressivebydesign]

17. Whoa, intense. That cartoon pretty much sums it up, though. n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. It's only offensive because it's true

[buff2]

19. Boy,that puts the nail on the head!

Most people DO see through this racist bunch of brown-shirted nazis. Ha....and they think they have everyone fooled!

[Mr_Spock]

20. Thanks for not being offended - a poignant non-offensive toon within:

[BringEmOn]

21. Condi: They are not my people

[JackDragna]

22. As many have said..

..it's not offensive when it reflects the truth.

[fortyfeetunder]

23. Europe has a clue about *

Recall the protests when he visited...there is no love lost over there.

[Greybnk48]

28. Offended by the truth? Never. n/t

[Bozita]

29. Europeans aren't subject to our mainstream media

[OneBlueSky]

30. and the tragic thing is that that very thought . . .

has no doubt run through Bush's head more than once since the hurricane . . . minus the apology, of course . . .

[DS1]

33. eh, seems accurate enough to me

[Beelzebud]

34. Thats what George Carlin calls "authentic American language".

You know it's what these power-hungery sociopaths are thinking.

I've hear so much racist crap the past week, it makes me sick.

I told my father to shut the fuck up last night because he made a comment about "them blacks". I didn't bother listening to his point, because when he started with "them blacks", I shut him up in a hurry. I told him to shut his mouth, and if he couldn't, to stop calling himeself a democrat.

He's a good man, but that racist shit was crammed in his head from the time he was a child. It still surfaces sometimes. Good thing I'm around to put a foot in his ass when he needs it.

He apologized later in the evening. So there is hope for him.

[oasis]

35. Condi believes power, influence and prestige put her in a different class.

[PsychoDad]

36. There's no longer White or Black

Or Brown, Yellow or Red...

Only Green. It's all about class now.

[Just Me]

37. No offense here. No surprise either. Plenty of Americans thinking,...

,...the same thing.

[kiki]

38. News headlines tomorrow:

"German newspaper refers to Katrina victims as "n*gg*rs"!

Damn those evil squareheads! It's all their fault! Them and their best friends, the French!

[graywarrior]

39. Hits the nail right on the head, don't it?

[sam sarrha]

40. why do i always get a box with a red X that wont open..??

[BQueen]

44. Firewall set too high, maybe? or if on dialup

could just need to re-load while nothing else is loading. I have to do it about 5 times to get all the images from the TOONS pages.

[Zen]

42. Truth to power...

sometimes the truth hurts...

[shaniqua6392]

47. No offense taken.

The truth shall set us free.

[Mutley]

48. Offensive, but in a good way.

This is what people need to see. I'm glad they get it in Europe. At least someone get its besides us.

[Zynx]

50. It's a filthy word, but used properly here to show what a lout Bush is.

[Glenda]

52. That seems to be an accurate representation of what goes..

through *'s mind. Thanks for posting :pals:

[Mr_Spock]

53. Bush has a mind?

Wow, where does he hide it?
