I love politicartoons, I really do. Generally, it's because I just plain enjoy political cartoons, but mostly it's because I enjoy the high levels of wank between the regular RAH RAH GO BUSH posters and the OMFGIHATEALLCONSERVATIVES posters.
Enter a fairly typical anti-war cartoon.
These always seem to bring the likes of megiloth, resident Bush Backer and active Marine, out of the woodwork to get snarly, and this is no exception.
megiloth: "Y'all are just waiting for that glorious 2000 body count mark aren't you? Maybe some sort of tie-in with the 2000 election and how Bush stole it. Or how if Al Gore would have won in 2000, we'd never be in this quagmire."
Not too wanky, really, but the liberal crowd piles on him (as per usual, I think he gets off on it; he's like a conservative version of me to some extent). They try to be rational at first, but megiloth, as usual, just prods them even more and whips them up into a frenzy.
Snippets such as this just cannot be ignored by the easily provoked:
" Leftists are pacifist pussies that would rather appease the enemy rather than go after them on their own turf."
"Timmy McVeigh is ashtray filler right now. Problem solved. His cute little buddy Terry Nichols is probably being raped in the shower right now. Once again, problem solved."
"Their turf usually involves third world shit countries, sand, and camels. In other words, it sure the fuck isn't gonna be over here."
This really sets off a storm.
Megiloth aside, others set off mini-fires of their own, including one regarding Katrina.
The whole thread is vaguely amusing, and I'm just waiting for the calls to "OMG BAN MEGILOTH!!" Those seem to happen every few months when he really pisses someone off. Sometimes, I think I stick around that community simply to watch him poke people with sharp sticks.
Edited to add: Though I really disagree with megiloth's political views, I found this to be highly amusing. His bits are in regular type, what he was responding to in italics.
leftists believe that death is not a necessary outcome in solving the world's problems
ie: Sit around, talk aboot it, be really angry and write a stern letter to a dictator telling them how angry you are while circle jerking to Kum-bay-ya.
rightists are war mongering monsters who think that power, fighting, and killing and devastating examples of brute strenght with gross negligence
ie: Peace through superior firepower.
I'll take that last one, thanks.
