Investor's Business Daily Cartoon Compares Dems to Suicide Bombers: "Obama Akbar!"
Edited on Sun Mar-14-10 12:58 PM by Emit
Investor's Business Daily, of Stephen Hawking "wouldn't have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless." fame, cartoon compares Dems to suicide bombers: "Obama Akbar!"



Hotair.com responds:

No one can accuse two-time Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez of holding back — or of Investors Business Daily of a lack of courage in publishing him. His latest take on the Democrats’ headlong rush to electoral oblivion in the midterms, and perhaps beyond, is dead-on accurate. Backbenchers are being asked to blow up their political careers in order to save President Obama’s term in office. ... Provocative? Absolutely. But this isn’t insinuating that Obama is a secret Muslim or that Democrats are terrorists. It accuses Democrats of putting Obama the man ahead of their own Constitutional obligations, and their own careers.

2. Ramirez is a complete hack
Never, not once, does he do anything but shill for the repubs. There's no courage in publishing RW propaganda.

4. Replace the Donkey with an Elephant, and you'll have the metaphor right
The mad suicide bombers sacrificing themselves for St. Ronnie are on the other side of the aisle.
