Which cartoon character best resembles the average Republican?

[Rocknrule]

I'm thinking the Tazmanian devil, Cartman, and Sara from Ed Edd & Eddy. What do you think?

[ck4829]

1. Mr. Burns from the Simpsons

He's even a Republican on the show too.

[StClone]

10. Frank Burns too

They are overly obsessed with hyper-patriotism while (pardon the M*A*S*H rip-off) exhibiting "a few 'isms of their own."

[Warpy]

12. Don't forget Smithers

his deeply closeted enabler, married to the job, willing to do any nasty thing the boss tells him to do. Smithers is the typical Repug.

And no, closeted doesn't always mean gay. It means hiding some pretty serious stuff while pretending to have superior morals.

[Touchdown]

25. He got snippy with John Waters for standing him up.

...on that episode where Bart had to sit and look at a billboard of 2 hot chicks smoking, and the Steel Mill turned into a gay disco at quitting time.

Homer: Well Son, you feel like more of a man now?
Bart: No, but I think I do want a cigarette.

[drm604]

32. I never thought of that.

The powerful Republican and his closeted gay assistant. Funny how real life sometimes ends up mimicking fiction.

[Rocknrule]

17. What about Ned Flanders?

[ck4829]

21. At least he's an ACTUAL Devout Religious person (Fictionally anyway)

[greyl]

27. Yeah, plus he means well.

Rev Lovejoy maybe, because he knows he's full of shit, but still wants to fill that collection plate.

[PassingFair]

46. For cripes sake, LOTS of 'puglicans MEAN well...

the country is SPLIT!

There are plenty of "Flander's Republicans".
I know a LOT of them.

[greyl]

52. Well, we're talking stereotypical caricatures here.

He's a wacked out holy roller, but I'm not sure if he votes or not.
Aren't there Dem holy rollers?
I maintain that Rev Lovejoy is a better fit than Ned.
...and ochre and peach!

[ComerPerro]

2. Cartman definately acts like a FReeper, but lately they've used him

to represent liberals.

He wanted to make sure Kenny (Teri Schaivo) was allowed to die (so he could take his XBox) and he believed that 9/11 was an inside job...

[greyl]

24. lol

Cartman didn't exactly have a well formed moral opinion of Schiavo like liberals did, did he?
He was never portayed as a Bible thumper, so his selfish and moronic reasoning was finely representive of right-wingers.
Also, maybe you don't realize that 9/11 CTs began largely on anti-semitic right-wing sites.
Most of the CTists in the 9/11 forum don't.

[Rocknrule]

28. I always thought Cartman was a spot-on parody of conservatives

which is why I've never believed South Park to be a RW tool

[greyl]

30. Yeah, it's that Archie Bunker thing.

The people that protested All in the Family didn't have the brainpower or sensitivity to context to realize that inclusion of his character wasn't an endorsement of his behavior.

[ComerPerro]

43. The message of that Schaivo episode

was that Eric Cartman (Michael Schaivo) wanted Kenny (Teri) to be allowed to die so he could profit.

[phillinweird247]

3. Dick Dastardly...

always scheming and cheating to win no matter what.

[DireStrike]

4. Lucy in Peanuts

though I try not to intake too much peanuts.

[nxylas]

5. The trouble with that question is...

...that I'm not sure that there's any such thing as an "average Republican" any more. Today's GOP is a rapidly crumbling coalition of disparate political constituencies, many of which have little or nothing in common.

[ComerPerro]

6. Bender the Robot from Futurama

aka, Bender Bending Rodriguez.

Worships celebrities and rich people, steals, lies, and cheats, is cruel to most people (especially orphans), commits crimes on a regular basis, and that's just how he treats his friends....

[Rocknrule]

20. True, but unlike freepers, he's actually loveable

[ComerPerro]

42. So are some of the more moderate FReepers, to some people,

when viewed as individuals rather than a part of a pathetic group of hate mongering Bush lovers.

[11 Bravo]

7. Foghorn Leghorn.

All bullshit and bluster, no real courage.

[SoCalDem]

60. another vote for Foghorn :) n/t

[spacelady]

66. My first thought as well. Ah Say, Boy!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Nelson Muntz.

[NEOhiodemocrat]

9. Dopey

since there is no Sleazy

[skids]

11. These guys here behind Cheney.

[greyl]

13. Yosemite Sam, Nelson, Cartman, Mr. Burns

and one of Gary Larsen's Far Side single cell amoebas.

[JHB]

14. Woim

Butch's toady from the Little Rascals/Our Gang shorts.

They "average Republican" may not personally be a bully, but they do get a vicarious thrill from watching one in action.

[TechBear_Seattle]

15. Margaret from Dennis the Menace

Or the prima donna from "Rugrats" (can't remember her name.) Always hogging the spotlight, acting like the world owes them fame and fortune, bully anything they can bully and getting all weepy and shrill when anyone stands up against the bullying.

[moggie]

16. Marvin the Martian

He tries to destroy the Earth because it blocks his view of Venus (Chuck Jones was a genius!).

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

36. George W. Bush has been playing the part of Marvin for the past 6 years

[Rocknrule]

38. Yea, but who's been playing Bugs Bunny and foiling his attempts?

[moggie]

44. Nobody, unfortunately

I've often said that Bugs Bunny is the greatest living American. If only he'd go into politics!

[skooooo]

18. Elmer Fudd

Hunt & destroy. Shoot first, ask questions later.

[obreaslan]

19. Dick Dastardly...

All evil, but eventually in the end screws everything up and is thwarted by the good guys....




And sometimes Mutley...

[Zensea]

22. Elmer Fudd?

.... Cheney resembles him anyways.

[greyl]

26. :) True, but he's too sweet. Yosemite Sam all the way. ;) nt

[BurtWorm]

23. This guy

[quispquake]

29. Simon Bar Sinister from the Underdog Cartoon

Looks a LOT like Richard Perle:

[jadams1735]

31. Vicky from fairly OddParents

and Plankton from SpongeBob...

[newyawker99]

45. Hi jadams1735!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Flubadubya]

33. None other than...

My rabid RW uncle was just here for a visit and proclaimed that he would vote for Alfred E. Neuman before he would vote for any Democrat.

My dad (his brother) retorted quite quickly, "You already have... he's in the White House now!"

I just fell out! :rofl:

[EC]

34. the fat Betty Bop character on Drawn Together

I forget her name...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. Chester The Molester

[alfredo]

39. Bug-Eyed Earl

Edited to add link: http://www.redmeat.com/redmeat/meatlocker/bugeyedearl.html
He has a lot of weird characters to choose from.

[WinkyDink]

61. Don't you be dissin' my Bug-eyed Earl! Now, Milkman Dan, OTOH,.....

[alfredo]

64. Can we agree on Bob Dobbs?

[Touchdown]

40. Judge Doom!

I bought the Red Car so I could dismantle it! I'll replace it with something called a "freeway" which will go right through Toontown! Imagine a road with no traffic, no lights, cars come on and off, off and on day and night! The sides of this freeway will be lined with diners serving cheap rapidly prepared food, tire salons, automobile dealerships, and hundreds of wonderful, wonderful billboards. MY GOD! It will be beautiful.

[PassingFair]

41. Honestly? Blondy and Dagwood.

Most 'pugs I know just don't know and don't CARE
about the state of the state or the state of the
world.

They care about their jobs, their hair appointments,
their kids, the mortgage, yada, yada, yada.

They care about "national security" in some vague
way. I alway knew they'd start paying attention
when their OWN jobs where in danger. When their
OWN houses were on the auction block, and when they
(in the case of the south) could no longer blame their
situation on the "liberal north-east".

We are just about there. People are losing their
cable TV's.....

They will prolly be waking up now.

Too late, of course...

[BootinUp]

[Warren DeMontague]

55. Tom Anderson from "Beavis & Butthead"

"Awww, dammit, now I gotta clean up in here"

[Subdivisions]

56. Lex Luthor

[chat_noir]

57. Laura Bush = The Joker

[Klukie]

59. Michael Chertoff.....

[Touchdown]

65. Like this?

Separated at birth.

[BootinUp]

62. Someone needs to assemble all the characters

in a group picture captioned: "Your Republican Party"

[ComerPerro]

67. how about this?

[hsher]

68. Scrooge McDuck

Oh wait, no. The Beagle Boys.



Combination of both?
