Tom Toles for October 04, 2011

Harleyquinn…..uh, say what? Did you want Toles to show the original word?

Maybe it’s not that important; after all, we all know that he comes from a part of the country where racism still influences some people. It does not mean he is a racist… just didn’t occur to him (back then) that it was offensive. Just shows bad judgement, not necessarily racism. We should be focused on the real problems with the man. For instance, he wants to send U.S. troops to Mexico to do what? I read that in the Washington Post, so it must be true.

All of this comotion over this non-story and nothing on Sen. Byrd being in the KKK.

I like it when Republicans destroy their own, thanks Cain.

Funny, when I google “Robert Byrd Klan,” the first three entries are two Wikipedia articles and a Washington Post article about Byrd’s history in the Klan. Damn yoooou liberal media!

And the self-destruction continues.Say goodnight, Ricky.

I think we’re done with Perry now. He’s cooked and a non-contender. Now on to Cain. Watch him plunge in the polls as we begin to discover that he’s not presidential material. We haven’t seen the real candidate yet. It’s fun to watch them come and go.

Notice how it’s Perry who makes the gaffe, then makes a pretty feeble lie to cover it up (though the truth would have been pretty harmless). But now every conservative Fox news commentator, and the commentators here, attack who? Cain — of all people! It’s pretty clear that a memo has come to Fox news that Romney is their man, and it’s time to dismantle the contenders.

Oh, and I have to say I love the extra dose of humor in the cartoon — in Perry’s book, of course, you can’t attack and slur black people anymore. But you can attack and slur smart people. How accurate! “Let’s hear it for the C students.”

Let’s face it. Perry has officially screwed the pooch. Next!

Folks – this is Texas. However, I learned that was a racist word in the 60s. If Perry didn’t take offense in the 80’s, then yes, it is a big deal. It has been a big deal my entire life. Folks like Perry live here and everywhere else – not just Texas. It doesn’t change my opinion that he is just another dim-witted tool for corporate interests, it just makes him as insensitive as his owners. Perry is proud of the “Texas Dream” – lots of folks earning low wages, little or no medical care, substandard education, and crumbling infrastructure. Welcome to Texas!

Geographic place names are constantly being changed now to be more “PC”, I think it’s usually garbage argument. What’s more applicable is that Perry recognizes that IMMIGRANTS built this nation and are still important to its growth. His “opponents” are far worse than the name of the rock when they TODAY attack all “furriners” as evil out to “take over the country”. Anyone “different” is a threat, but not to Perry. It may be his one most positive attribute. He at least is not a xenophobic tea seller.

tbh I dont understand this LOL

Ahhh yes. Robert Byrd. The righties can only name a few (misinformed or otherwise) while their camp is full of them (Jeff Sessions, Rash Limpwrist, David Duke, Jim Demint [who said that he wanted to “break” the president] and others). Despite what some of our resident loonies have said in the past (Don R[uthford]edneck, Grayarse, [s]kin head) no one wants to call these guys what they really are. This reminds me of the gaffes their candidates make on a daily basis and all they can come up with for the president is the 57 state thing. One can conclude that right wingers are simpletons.

The more news the media (and his critics and candidate-opponents) uncovers about the current Texas Governor Rick Perry and his background, the more the G.O.P. will get “tarred by the same brush” ! ! ! It is NOT THE MAN WHO MAKES THE PARTY—-IT IS THE PARTY WHO FORMS THE MAN ! ! ! Governor Rick Perry is the face of a political party that is revealing it’s racism and pride and prejudice toward minorities and immigrants and favoritism toward the rich and powerful elites on Wall Street instead of Main Street. Come November, 2012, the American people will remember which face and which political party is FOR THEM.
