Too bad Cindy McCain disowned her half-sisters, both her father’s daughter and her mother’s. With $100 million she should be more than able to help, and they’re Americans unlike Obama’s half-brother!
Yeah, I wouldn’t go into the sibling cesspool in this campaign. Besides, every Presidential family has had one useless nitwit sibling – Donald Nixon, Billy Carter, Roger Clinton, George W.
And Tindog… wtf?! Unless you haven’t heard about it… he does indeed have a homeless brother in Africa. I had to google this ‘toon. I guess w/o that context this could be viewed as a racist statement (i.e. all black people have a homeless person in their family.)
Lalas, this is actually not true. George Obama is neither homeless, nor destitute. CNN actually spoke to the man, unlike the Italian Vanity Fair writer that first made the claims. McCoy probably didn’t see the article because it wasn’t on Faux News’ website. Here’s the link: http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/22/bts.obama.brother/index.html
These “cartoonists” generally reflect thier publisher’s political philosophy. In this case some jerkwater paper in Bellview Illinois. If they dont draw cartoons reflecting that philosophy, they are looking for another job quickly.
I don’t see what race has to do w/ this particular ‘toon? Obama DOES have a homeless half-brother on his father’s side (the father that abandon him at a young age so who cares about that side of the family). So I repeat… what does race have to do with this ‘toon?
How can any of you say this is a racist cartoon? I’m so tired of any critism of Obama being filed under racism. I’m starting to believe that the people who cry racism for every thing are in fact the true racists. What else would looking for racism in everything in the world be?
If you truly think this cartoon is racist you have absolutely no capability to understand pretty much anything.
Glenn McCoy has been long recognized by his peers as a superior cartoonist. Besides his editorial cartoons, he also creates the daily comic strips The Duplex and The Flying McCoys.

Another example of being “guilt-by-association”.
What Obama have to do with his half brother born after his father abandoned him and his mother?

BTW: Does Obama smoke?
lalas said, over 4 years ago
He did smoke.
And Tindog… wtf?! Unless you haven’t heard about it… he does indeed have a homeless brother in Africa. I had to google this ‘toon. I guess w/o that context this could be viewed as a racist statement (i.e. all black people have a homeless person in their family.)

Lala, let me rephrase my remarks so that you may fully understand them.
“Oh Glenn McCoy, you really do hate black people”
Oh wait, I guess I just ended up quoting myself. Hear let my try this again Glenn McCoy is a racist who hates ALL black people. Clear enough now?

dwill - can possibly be, then in that case an individual with any character or self pride would be looking for employment elsewhere.

…And since this one evidently isn’t, I guess that about wraps that up.

…which is incidentally the same as if you take this as truth.

No, it’s that McCain has so many homes, but that he couldn’t SAY how many homes he had is the issue!
