Matt Wuerker for December 02, 2011

Thanks, Mr. Wuerker, for the homage to George Carlin.

Great cartoon.

I’m not sure whether you’re talking about the repubs or the demos.

Since Obama took more corporate money than any president in history, the left uses the new black panthers to intimidate voters, the left Isn’t voting any less military money, and they only apply the constitution when they feel like it as well…

Gray, you are spouting nonsense. There are no “new black panthers,” that’s just a Fox News clip of a one-time non-event that the Bush justice department looked into and found empty. There is a concerted effort to disenfranchise Americans coming from the right, though it’s been rolled back by good citizens where ever it’s been challenged. And all of the cartoons other bullet points, and Eryx’s bullet points, are based on GOP transgressions.

Kudos to Eryx!

13 fails.

Nice going, Eryx. Better than Wuerker’s.

@lance crowWell said! Seems like most people reading this cartoon watch only the lame stream media or went to a college where they are indoctrinated by the liberal professors who teach because they can’t perform in the real world. Just look at Obama’s policies championed by these so called experts. Everyone of them has failed to reverse the economy and after they leave the administration they admit that the policies are failures.

Yes there is a new black panther party and yes they did intimidate voters. They were not prosecuted by Eric Holder and the Obama Justice department because voter intimidation can only be against minorities not whites (according to Holder).

Gouging Outrageous hyPocrisy. Definitely NOT the party of Eisenhower’s day, or even Nixon’s (Clean Air Act, NEPA, Clean Water Act, ESA). It wasn’t so much “the Great Communicator”, so much as the “great thieves” acting under him who changed things. Wuerker still understates the problem and hypocrisy behind the current crew.

Funny the Republicans last night voted to keep taxes down for millionaires,but expanded and increased taxes for the rest of Americans. The Democrats voted the other way. So Lance, unless you’re a millionaire,you are a dupe.

so, so true.

ZIT has no arguments, just talking points.

Matt has captured the essence of the GOP, hypocrisy at a whole other level.

@ghenley: “lamestream media?” “liberal professors?” Do you mean the media owned by large corporations—GE, Sony, and Disney? Or Faux? Those media outlets tell us only what the corporations want us to hear and there ain’t none of ‘em liberal! Faux tells us what Rupert wants us to hear, but then calls the other corporate media outlets “liberal.”University professors are educated and they believe in science and logic, so they generally do disagree with science deniers. And Obama’s policies are failures? Sure, because the implementation of his policies has been blocked by republicans who have vowed to make his presidency fail, even when it means scrsewing the future of our entire country. Since you wish us to consider voter intimidation, why don’t you tell us why every repub governor recently elected has tried to pass legislation liimiting people’s access to voting? Remember all the repub noise in the Bush admin about alleged voter fraud? It turned out to be all noise and no fraud. You are so seriously slanted and underinformed.

and the democrats are no better. this decade will see the rise of a powerful working class movement with our own institutions, including a labor party and one big solidarity union! hold on to your seats, folks!

10,000 USELESS COMMENTS and growing.

So, “Squealer” still puts out the Propaganda for the Pigs but, who will be their next Napoleon or Snowball?

Hmmm, Faux and Disney, two obviously “left wing” sources.

ghenley, check up on the “New Black Panthers” anywhere you like — politicfact, factcheck, or even Wikipedia. The charges were dropped before Eric Holder even tok office, and because no voter could be found who was intimidated. On the converse, I CAN tell you the names of quite a few legitimate citizens who were blocked by voting by Republican voter suppression.

Funny you missed the truthful comment above about Republicans blocking fair taxation of the rich. You support them,so you agree to that transgression. Silly.

According to the Washington Post, “Filed weeks before the Obama administration took office, the case focused on two party members who stood in front of a polling place in Philadelphia on Election Day 2008, one carrying a nightstick. The men were captured on video and were accused of trying to discourage some people from voting.”

From various sources I also found out that this was in a predominatly African American neighborhood and that NO VOTERS felt intimidated, thus forcing the DOJ to drop the suite (no victims, no crime). The only ones calling for the a case to go foward were right wing crazies who then went on tour with McCain-Palin promoting the candidates they served. This is the same thing with that pimp video that Not-so-breightbart was pushing: propaganda.

What is the difference between the “principled Conservative Republicans” who are shown to both “represent the 1%” on Wall Street and “lower taxes on the rich” and want to cut the deficit and the budget but not the Defense budget and who call themselves “compassionate conservatives” but show no compassion to the welfare recipients and children and seniors on health-care and those of the long-ago Pharissees mentioned in Matthew Chapter 23 in the Bible ? Nothing !
