3. The Dispatch is an awful repug rag ....

... it helped to kill the story that the 2004 election was stolen in Ohio.

We are the country that invaded the mid east and set up hundreds of thousands
of deaths not Iran.

4. That's disgusting

There's no distinction between the Iranian people and their extremist leaders.

Just an insult to whole country full of people

8. Sadly, it's rather American-esque, as well.

"Every penny kills a Jap. Every gun kills a Jap. Every tank kills a Jap. Japs are as alike as two peas in a pod."

You've all seen "Faces of the Enemy," I hope. Here's an article on it. http://media.www.gonzagabulletin.com/media/storage/paper375/news/2006/01/27/News/First.Film.Of.Series.Addresses.Misuse.Of.Propaganda-1519291.shtml

9. This reminds me of something from "Mein Kamf"

when Hitler likens the Jew to "a maggot in a putrescent body... a little Jew who was often blinded by the light...." He is describing what he calls "the abcess" of the lowest moral activities... cut into one and there is your maggot. :eyes: Now we have roaches swarming from the sewer of the middle east.

Vile.

10. The Nazis also released propoganda films

Edited on Fri Sep-07-07 08:55 PM by whereismyparty

comparing Jews to packs of sewer rats. It's disgusting stuff. Not too much unlike the cartoon above.

14. We haven't evolved: not the propagandists,

and not those at whom the propaganda is directed. Disgusting barely covers it. :puke:

11. Beyond disgusting

There is not a scintilla of difference between this and the cartoons published in Nazi Germany dehumanizing the Jewish population.

19. The picture is dehumanizing and rascist.

If you think that's okay because, hey, it's a free country...then I'm afraid you've really missed the point.

This has nothing to do with CAIR. You don't like 'em, fine. Don't email 'em.

15. Does this paper have a very big distribution area in Ohio?

Or is it mainly just distributed in the Columbus area?

Do they sell this rag in Cleveland?

I can't imagine what Kucinich would think about this cartoon.
It's outright racism.

22. Amusing that is the kind of cartoon

I'd expect in the Surm Fuehrer or ... the arab press of the late 20th century...

It is getting weirder by the hour
