1. FUCK--I mean to rec this and I pressed the wrong button.

K & R anyway. Sorry.

[Staph]

2. I rec'd for you...

but it looks like some troll is unrec'ing the good toons.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. me too

[varelse]

50. they've lost the vote

It's 305 to "who cares" and counting ;)

[flying rabbit]

3. I got your back.

Rec

[jgraz]

7. They really need to let us undo those mistakes

I've done it a couple of times myself. Trust me, it's less painful than rec'ing a post you want to unrec. ;)

[Beartracks]

10. And by FUCK, of course, you mean...

Fascist
Un-American
Communist
Kenyan!

:silly:

Love This Modern World!

P.S. Also rec'd!

[trackfan]

11. I swear to God, I just did the same thing.

x(

[defendandprotect]

44. Rec'd this one -- but I've done at least two UNs by accident . . . because

I try to never UN-rec anything -- even if it's an article recommending UN-rec!!!

[JohnnyK]

16. Gotcha covered as well, Bicoastal - n/t

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

27. Freudian Slip

You're really a racist.

...and I'm really just kidding! :)

[unpossibles]

32. No! Some of my best friends are....

....trolls.

;)

(Just kidding - I don't really have friends)</sarcasm>



(Actually this post is sarcasm wrapped in a layer of confounding sauce, and served with a side dish of sass. I've confused myself now!)

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

35. Does it come with fries?

nt

[truedelphi]

38. Maybe you were laughing too hard?

This 'toon was seriously funny.

[WillyT]

4. Priceless !!! - K & R !!!

:kick:

[thunder rising]

5. This is the conversation our nation has to have. Let the loonies identify themselves as a minority

and then they can be ignored.

The more they rant the more "middle America" will wake up to the fact that this country has been used by a loud minority.

(like we didn't know it, but there are a lot of folks who don't)

So, this is all good. Kick back, get the popcorn, enjoy the show, cause this is what we paid for.

[Merlot]

9. Agree with you 100%

Before these people opened their mouthes it was to easy for average Americans to believe racism (and sexism) were all in the past.

I kinda figured this would happen if Obama won. It's a good thing because it's opening the eyes of people that this is still an issue.

[DissedByBush]

31. But be careful not to over-identify the loonies

Disagreement with Obama doesn't mean a person is racist.

Many here would be racist if that were true.

The race card is getting pulled far too often.

For example, look at the birthers. Don't forget that the first case was filed by a Hillary Clinton supporter just before the primaries. Looney? Yes. Racist? No.

[appamado amata padam]

6. TMW is the best.

[Salviati]

8. Usually he's dead on, But this time I'm afraid he's a bit off...

I mean, glenn bek spelling something correctly? Unbelievable!

[gratuitous]

13. There has never been a racist at a Klan rally

I believe Ann Coulter said that today. Along with the "fact" that political violence is always perpetrated by left wingers. Like Tim McVeigh, that fucking socialist commie.

[NBachers]

17. And I suppose there's never been a racist at a lynching

[gratuitous]

22. Obviously not

See, some white people have also been lynched, like Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman. So, there wasn't any racist component to it. The Klan lynched a lot of people without regard to race or creed! I wonder why Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck haven't been on this like a goose on a junebug? They're usually so spot-on with this kind of fucked-up "logic." Maybe they've gone soft on socialism, too?

[defendandprotect]

45. Is Coulter still being given air time .. . ?? wow!

[byronius]

14. "Er, I -- What?" Priceless. He always nails it.

[Vickers]

18. That was my favorite part, too.

I've had a lot of those moments recently.

[liquid diamond]

51. Was he referring to the Kanye West incident?

[burning rain]

15. Yup, the post-racial society's working out about as well as...

the post-partisan politics. The more things change, the more things don't change much at all.

[ScottLand]

19. A lot of great points here.

I wondered myself, while Fox is trying to say it's just people protesting government abuses, why they choose to express it by attacking the president as a Nazi or an African tribal leader. When you speak hate, you lose the argument.

[HughBeaumont]

20. K & R. He sure got the TeaBirthers down pat.

And the Right's new Golden Shower Boy, Glenn Beck.

Pigs.

[Joe Bacon]

21. Kicked & Recommended!

Tom hits another bullseye with this one!

[myrna minx]

[Blue_Tires]

25. major kick!

[Solly Mack]

26. K&R

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. Hilarious and poignant, as usual. My one qualm:

Glenn Beck spelled "STUDY" correctly. That doesn't seem all that realistic.

[Mad_Dem_X]

29. F'ing brilliant! n/t

[amb123]

30. K&R! Tom Tomorrow hits another home run!

:patriot:

[kpete]

40. thanks

for the thanks, kpete

[colsohlibgal]

34. Brilliance

Tom and similar cartoonists (like the guy who did the Hitler brain transfer strip) seem to be able to perfectly represent and illustrate (both meanings of the word) the absolute insane lunacy of these cracker inbreds making the noise.

[Gregorian]

36. Yeah, well hoods are optional now. A kinder. gentler KKK.

"You'll be sorry!" Haha. That's great.

[noiretextatique]

37. tom totally gets it

:kick: what an awesome toon.

[BlooInBloo]

39. (snicker)

[AspenRose]

41. "Eleventy-gazillion"

Yep, he nailed it all right.

[BrklynLiberal]

42. K AND R!!

[defendandprotect]

43. Wonderful . . . !!! Thank you !!!

[sonias]

46. Tom is so good

He can wrap it up in a few panels, and each one could be a stand alone cartoon.

:applause:


Sonia

[mike_c]

47. TMW just gets better and better....

Wow! Nailed that one out of the park. That last panel is AWESOME!

[Skittles]

48. if I ever meet Mr. Tom

I swear I will bow at his f***ing feet

[aikoaiko]

49. great fodder for many on DU.

:applause:

[readmoreoften]
