Clay Bennett for April 08, 2013

I see the top of the sprayer. are we suppose to guess the rest? o.k it is something to do with gun control?!!

That’s the problem with this site – the frequency with which the things don’t display properly. Unless, of course, the intent was display only the top of a spray bottle above a gray block. If so, neither coherent nor amusing.

GOP IntellecticideEliminates Rationale, Reason, and Logic and has a picture of the brain on AAEC

http://editorialcartoonists.com/cartoon/display.cfm/121284/.Maybe someone can read the small print. I can’t even with a magnifying glass.

GOP/BrandIntellecticideExterminates Rationale, Reason & Logic(picture of brain)Warning: contents may cause brain damage (but that’s really the whole point)

Here’s another version. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/apr/06/handle-care-cartoon-clay-bennett-times/?opinioncartoons

The fine print reads “Warning: contents can cause brain damage. But that’s the whole point.” This is a reference to the increasing frequency of truly stupid ideas in the Republican party (see: North Carolina says the first amendment doesn’t apply to them, and Texas Republicans condemn the teaching of critical thinking in schools.)

^ Ah, we see that the product is effective.

Intellecticide… go here to see it… http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2013/apr/06/handle-care-cartoon-clay-bennett-times/?opinioncartoons

For crabgrass, it is right now when the forsithia blooms, but for the GOP, never!

The bottle shipped to this comic site sprung a leak and has wiped out 4/5 of the screen.

FYI, Nixon’s media consultant was Roger Ailes.

You rock!

Typical lefty critical thinking. So inconsiderate of conservative’s tender feelings. Quit being so vague about the harmful effects of Intellecticide, Mr. Toles! Just what do you mean by ‘exterminates’ rationale, reason, and logic, anyway? You need to dumb this down for the GOP kids seated in the back of the classroom.

That’s why its a GOP product. It kills all sense of everything.

Love it!

It’s blended with TEA for synergistic effect.

LOLOLOL!!

Typical liberal … kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and then blame the Republicans for what they just did.

Bennett has his head so twisted, that people must think he is walking backward.

Hey Bennett!!

Who was it that – through Obamacare – CUT Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid???

DemoTAXocrats, that’s who!

Sigh … such stupidity …

Mr. Guess, a typical conservative suffering from intellecticide.

Well, Obamacare doesn’t cut SS Medicare and Medicaid, it enhances them. Plus the medicare “cuts” you refer to are the cuts he made to the wingnut corporate welfare known as Medicare advantage which was designed to siphon off government medicare funds from the medicare fund and pay them to corporations as profit for providing “options”. Cutting that saves billions and actually increases medicare coverage rather than decreasing it . Added savings and increased benefits (in the same plan) come from finally allowing medicare to negotiate drug prices, which saves more billions. Wingnuts put in their “reform” in 2004 a lovely little line which allows Big Pharma to charge medicare anything they want for drugs and there was nothing medicare could do about it.

But anyway, Guess, thanks for providing an example of what it means to be a victim of intellecticide.

My beef with the cartoon is that he doesn’t really mean rationale, he either means rationality or rational thought. Creating rationales to support their intellectually bankrupt policies and ideology is all the GOP has left, and they are doing that rather badly.

So says another slurper of the thin patina of so-called intellgentia that covers the mob of those who would eat you alive in the street.

Right wingers might want to avoid posting on this one. It just tends to prove the point of the comic.

ZING!

I know, where the hell does it say “if a man does not work, let him not eat”?-—————-Take a look at this link:Work or don’t eat.All of the various translations there carry the message that someone unwilling to work should not be allowed to eat. DrCanuck provided a quotation from Limbaugh that denigrated the “unemployed”; the two are not synonymous. You might also consider that it is not within the government’s purview (nor Limbaugh’s, nor anyone else’s) to enforce religious dogma upon others.

Republican logic isn’t defective. It’s the premises fed to them by Faux news that creates the problem. It is impossible to arrive at a valid conclusion when you begin with invalid information.

Directly from the Bible.-———At the risk of being redundant, the emphasis was upon “unwilling” to work – not simply the status of being “unemployed.” That’s a very important distinction, don’t you think?
