4. I can hear the rightwing now: "Hitler made speeches. We have film."

[the blues]

11. Trudeau is very sharp. I wish he weren't preaching to the converted.

Right-wingers would read this comic and say, "Exactly! Giving a speech! Just like Hitler did!"

[Autonomy]

21. Hitler and Obama have the same color hair

Or pretty close. What more do you need for proof???

[Staph]

2. I want to marry Gary Trudeau

and have his babies. Get out of my way, Jane Pauley!

:evilgrin:

[bluestateguy]

3. And worse yet, they have the temerity to even consider the reconciliation process in the Senate!

An outrage! Can you believe it? Ramming a bill through with a one vote majority. Tyranny! Hitler would be proud.

[Froward69]

5. Brutal...

I feel brutalized... do you feel brutalized???

so many speeches... rrrugh I want my country back! :P :sarcasm:

[Lagomorph]

6. Doonesbury is awesome. eom

[felinetta]

7. Simply brilliant!

[jannyk]

8. Awesomely insightful!! k+r

10. It does seem that the same people...

Who deny that the Holocaust happened happened seem to have a lot in common with the people that compare Obama to Hitler.

Given your average Tea-bagger's grasp of history, maybe they just think Hitler invaded Poland and France in order to force them have universal health care.

[AlbertCat]

12. Given your average Tea-bagger's grasp of history, maybe they just think Hitler invaded Poland and Fr

Given your average Tea-bagger's grasp of history, they have no idea Hitler ever invaded Poland or France. I bet they don't even know what year WWII started.

18. I bet there are none of Hitler's actions that the teabaggers wouldn't go along with if it was their

leader. Cheney for example. They seem to dislike Hitler but I doubt they even know why. There are Hitler lovers at their rallies. The idiots don't even understand the irony.

[mzmolly]

13. That's great!

:toast:

[nxylas]

14. This is the first time I've ever actually laughed at a Doonesbury cartoon

Yeah, I know, heresy.

[TommyPaine]

26. It's okay...many (if not most) are not meant to be laughed at

Most are meant to be savored, like a 10-year-old Italian red. You're supposed to smile on the inside, or just give a knowing nod.

[Hekate]

27. Hubby and I had a running joke for many years: he'd read something outrageous in Doonesbury, exclaim

... exclaim to me, "Where is Trudeau getting that? It can't be true!" only to have me tell him: "Sorry honey, once again Trudeau has ripped his story from the headlines, the ones you don't read."

Garry Trudeau is an insightful and satirical chronicler of our times.

15. Babies are born republicans ,

But comes the day they open their eyes and become democrats,
and some babies never open their eyes.

[MrMickeysMom]

16. What this meant to me when I read my Sunday comix...

"stalling the bill" accomplishes for the Republicans the same fricken thing - the final solution!

Anyway, that was MY take.

[SkyIsGrey]

17. Now that is satire.

[Chorophyll]

19. That's the stuff. Lol. K&R.

20. The power of words...

“The language we use to communicate with one another is like a knife. In the hands of a careful and skilled surgeon, a knife can work to do great good. But in the hands of a careless or ignorant person, a knife can cause great harm.”
Exactly as it is with our words.”
Source Unknown

“Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care, for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or evil.”
Siddhartha Gotoma or Buddha (563-483 B.C.)

Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words. Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions. Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits. Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character. Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny.
