Is this cartoon threatening?
This is some no-name tea partier running against Earl Bluemenauer in Oregon.

There is a cartoon on her website with an Abe Lincoln-esque character rolling up sleeves and getting ready to forcibly eject fat Earl from a bar. Interesting how they paint him as a fat lush when he is neither.

Is this threatening or just dumb? Reminiscent of that stupid "Gather your Armies!" ad.

9. I don't think it's supposed to be Abe
I think it's supposed to be more like "Uncle Sam"

6. It's hilarious. It's drawn like a color page for kids. Also, that's Uncle Sam, not Abe.

12. I vote "sub-moronic"
As his constituents know, Blumenauer is in better shape than cartoon Uncle Sam.

Also, he's going to win re-election in a walkover, so he's got that going for him, too.
