Honestly those are disgusting. The caricature is racist itself and most of what is written (and misspelled) is untrue. This is not free speech as much as it is libel and defamation.

Umm... no. The accentuated ears, lips, teeth and noise coupled with the reduced cranial dome is classic racism.

Please, how is it racist in any way? You obviously don't read many financial or wall street news papers, because they have cartoons in them like this all the time. Get real, your only mad because it's true.

What is exactly racist about a caricature????? The man does have big ears....even he himself has made fun of them on occasion. Caricature are supposed to play on physical attributes of the person......somebody needs to not pull out the racist card too often....there is a credit limit on them you know.....

Gotta love corporatism at its finest.

Yep, and how is that a different stratagey then what the left took while bush was in office?
They did the exact same thing. And so , please rinse and repeat.
Example: Obama, Biden, Pelosi all voted AGAINST providing body armor for the troops in IRAQ. Along with reinforced metal plating on HUM V to protect against land mines and RPGs. Along with many other needed materials for survival. But I guess, I can see why they would do that. After all, the more troops that die, the more Bush looks like he has failed. That is how evil and corrupt and exteme your party has gone to . Want proof? Just look up their voting history on Foreighn Policy.
It says he "voted against funding our troops." He did – exactly once. Obama cast at least 10 votes for war-funding bills before voting against one last year, after Bush vetoed a version that contained a date for withdrawal from Iraq.

Wow, I guess ANYTHING that protrays ANY minority is RACIST! To satisfy you, must we remove all references to any minority? Since when is a president (black, white, half, Chinese or Christian or otherwise) exempt from editorialization?

There have been several comments about the artists spelling, has anyone thought for a moment that they did that on purpose?

Reality disconnect

www.factcheck.org...
So Pres. Bush VETOED a bill to fund our troops?? While then Senator Obama voted to fund them 10 times...every bill..except one? Get it?
Your claim is equally as valid as inserting Pres. Bush's name.
President Bush voted AGAINST providing body armor for the troops in IRAQ. Along with reinforced metal plating on HUM V to protect against land mines and RPGs. Along with many other needed materials for survival.
See....
Is this where you bitterly shout that Bush only vetoed that bill because it included a timeline for ending the war?
Yep. The same reason that Biden, Obama and some GOP by the way, all voted against that last funding bill which contained no indication that President Bush would wrap up operations in Iraq in this century.
Seeing as then Senator Obama had voted for every troop funding bill prior to that (at least 10 bills) Your claim that he did not care for the troops is just dumb and without factual support.
You know how you really look out for troops? Don't send them into a crapstorm to invade and occupy a foriegn country on false premises.
Try this for looking out for troops...
Iraq: 8 Years, 4792 American troops dead,
Libya: 6 months, ZERO troops dead.edit on 25-8-2011 by Indigo5 because: (no reason given)

And it's racist NOT to include people of other races besides white.
Remember that meme? If it's all white, it's racist.
I like your last point......and I agree with Howard Zinn.
It's a mind control tool to divide and conquer
while concealing those who seek to oppress us!
