Political Cartoon Wank
Didn't see this one posted, but then again it was only a quick search.

choobie posts two very unpopular political cartoons that poke fun of U.S. soldiers and the mess in Iraq.

People freak.
And for once, I didn't say a word. ;)

Choice comments include:

tbonestg - "I'll take pleasure in guttin' you, boy."

tbonestg - "You fucking people are deranged. Get out of my country."

goldenskull - "I think he just meant that you are a scumsucking assface, and decided to say it in a more eloquent way than that."

darkblood777 - "If the people in the pictures were peace-loving hippies or meditating Buddhists I bet you wouldn't be saying that. I bet you'd say something along the lines of "Hahaha! That's so funny!""

choobie - "oh so soldiers deserve respoect? I'll tell the civilians' families that they killed that. Soldiers kill civilians EVERY DAY in Iraq. Respect is earned. And soldiers have not earned it."

motherginsberg - "Call me all the names you want, but your mind is critically undeveloped and expresses a youthful naivete (although you claimed to be much older awhile back, which is a joke) that I had when I was 15. It will be a sad shock years from now when you realize that your one-dimensional political reality is crumbling."

thanitus - "I'm sure you're sitting by your computer jerking off to every negative comment that comes your way."

ccnuggie - "I'm glad you posted this...now everyone sees you for the piece of shit that you are."

Those are just a few of over 190 comments.
Some people tried to stay civil, logical, and have a debate.
They were, sadly, outnumbered.

Edit: The wank spills into another post. Seems this guy draws some highly unpopular cartoons. I've got no opinion either way on them, they're just kind of "meh, whatever" to me; they're pissing off a lot of people in that community though.

Those first two cartoons freaked me out. I think it was the facial expressions that did me in.

I kept hearing someone yelling, "PYLE!!!" in the first one.

I need a "Stop being on my side, you're making my side look stupid" for all the "OMG GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY YOU HIPPIES" types. All the anti-military garbage is so stupid that you can easily refute it without sounding like the kind of redneck Neanderthal that a lot of people think all soldiers are.

/wank.

Interestingly, I didn't even see the first cartoon as "anti-military" -- I thought it more "anti-policy," or "anti-commander-in-chief." I thought the whole notion of soldiers being used as "cannon fodder" was an observation of the powers that be sending soldiers into harms' way for little purpose (or, if there was a purpose at one point, we may be past that point, so why are we still there?)

The soldier follows his orders. If the orders are screwed up, that't not the soldier's fault. Right?

Hey, might want to add a note that tbonestg has thrown in a picture of an Iraqi insurgent with his brains blown out all over the street in there.

I'd seen it before, but I'd hate to open that thing with kids around the comp, just in case. ;)

Ick, did he?

I tend to ignore his posts as the words "ignorant" and "redneck" always seem to flash before my eyes. ;)

Wouldn't be the worst thing I've seen; I watched all of the beheading videos that were available for viewing and it didn't squick me.

Mousie with wank here!

http://www.livejournal.com/community/childfree/4955248.html

To summarize: [info]lady_lion declares that she no longer hates children and wonders if [info]childfree feels the same way. Most people are actually quite civil, but wank flies when [info]boirozzlyn snipes about child-haters. Includes random icon hate, excessive use of the word "cliche," and huge abuse of the "the internet is serious business!" joke.

An hour after reading this and an ice-cold shower, I am able to post rationally. I hope.

Anti-military/military-bashing bullshit drives me to an incredible rage, mainly because I've got military on all sides of my family. This tends to be a senstive subject for me.

So you don't like the commander-in-chief. Fine, but don't take it out on the troops, God damn it! Not all military is right-wing, not all the military voted for Bush, and - most important - not everyone in the military tortured prisoners of war. I hate it when the actions of a few idiots taint the rest of the service and makes conspiracy theorists joygasm in the belief that OMG WE WER RITE THERE COMING 4 U NEXT!!!11!!11eleventy.

In short - liberal wiener, right-wing nutjob, it doesn't matter. Bash the idiots*, not the troops.

*steps off podium, cleans up, flees*




*and if you think Bush is the idiot, fine. He'll be gone in 2008 anyway.

Did you see the cartoons as military-bashing or policy-bashing?

OK, this:

LaTuff seeks to force Americans into seeing an international perspective. If it is unpleasant, it forces Americans to ask WHY DO THEY HATE US?

Followed by this:

1) It's really no big secret that people who live in Europe dislike us here Americans because of the whole "war in Iraq" thing.

2) That name sounds French.

3) Fance is in... Europe!

4) Assumed obvious political bias.


Somehow the second poster seem to think that
a) Europe isn't relevant to an "international perspective"
b) Disliking the US because of the war in Iraq doesn't count as dislike because of political bias

*boggles*

Actually, I'm pretty sure there are some non-war in Iraq reasons that Europeans aren't too fond of the US. *shrugs*

The whole - "You can't insult the army! They fight for uncle sam and apple pie, you hippy commie!" - attitude makes me head hurt.

Sure, don't take it out on the troops, but to say the army is beyond criticism because THEY FIGHT FOR YUR FREEDUN OMG is just stupid.

Gods forbid a political cartoon ever be offensive. I mean, everyone knows they have to be happy fluffy positive images of love and worship for the idiots in this world.

LaTuff needs to get some half-decent artist style going, though. They're some of the ugliest political cartoons I've seen in a while.

Oh man!
That Tbonestg character make me howl with laughter.
Is it even possible to sound more like a third-rate actor in a very, very, very cheap-ass Vietnam movie.
It's like he's typing from a script on how to be bad, mad, kick-ass Stallone clone.

You really have to work at that kind of ridiculousness.
