   McCoy has always had a very active imagination, perhaps suffers from hallucinations.

   Glenn, you just said in your other cartoon that the kids wouldn’t be brainwashed. Focus, son, focus.

   Maybe the posters here have seen it but I have not seen the original draft of what he was going to say. I have read that after the indignant comments he totally changed to the non-controversial banal paper he read. McCoy may have seen the early draft.

   Yeah, gnw, the reason you haven’t seen the original draft of what he was going to say is because….(sorry)…it never was any different.

   The lesson plan was changed after “indignant comments” to remove the parts no one had any problem with when Reagan or Poppy Bush indoctrinated schoolchildren. Reagan: “fiscal responsibility! conservative principles!” GHWB: “Write to the president to tell him how you can help the U.S.!” I guess democrats didn’t think to ask those presidents why they want to indoctrinate our white kids. Oh, yeah. They were legitimate, right?

   Here we go again. There will be no proof, nothing but “I have read that after he removed…” McCoy may have seen the early draft. Really? Really??

   Maybe Rush or Hannity have the original draft. If anyone does, they would share it happily, gleefully, and print it off and drop it from airplanes to prove how scary the president’s speech was. You don’t see any “original” do you?

   Does that tell you anything? Again? You sure are willing to assume a nefarious motive from the president, but not so willing to assume anything but purity from others.

   Note the words in your post. “maybe others have seen it – what he was GOING to say – he totally changed it – to banal paper – McCoy may have proof!”

   Same old thing. If someone accuses you of being a witch, you’re a witch. If you say you are not a witch, you changed your story after being accused. This obviously proves you ARE a witch, otherwise you would have admitted it cuz we accused you. Or something.

   Speaking of Obama. I live directly across the street of NYC Lincoln Center. Today is the funeral for Walter Cronkite. Evidently both Obama and Bill Clinton will be there. As I type I see sharpshooters on top of Fischer Hall, crowds in the street, 9th Avenue closed with heavy trucks and dozens of black dressed men scurrying around. Exciting.

   gnw, the sharpshooters are there in case any witches show up.

    ezdeb, thanks … for you know ….

    doesn’t seem to matter, does it, how many times people post the facts, complete with links, about the one question in a dept. of education-prepared discussion topics for teachers,
    there are some people who will believe that somehow the righties made Obama change his evil speech to something positive

    some folks are simply hopeless … choosing to wallow in their own willful ignorance and quite smug about it all too

    So very tired of people who drank the Kool Aid [by the liter, apparently] getting editorial space, etc. while the voice of reason is poorly represented by those who are sane and rational…

    Sad, may remove the strip from my dailys as well…

    Yeah, I’m done with McCoy. Even cartoonists should have standards. I should have removed McCoy when he drew the cartoon of the president standing in a dumpster, clubbing aborted fetuses. McCoy’s hatred duly noted.

    I’m sorry, I don’t see what you people are so bent out of shape about here.

    Do you see the teacher in the back of the class slapping her forehead? If McCoy had wanted this to be taken “literally” he would have her urging them on. Public School Teachers are one of the favorite targets of right wingers.

    McCoy is being satirical in this one in that he’s saying that the idea of children getting indoctrinated is ridiculous, so he ridicules it.

    ezdeb,

    Yes I referenced that toon too. But I think that stands in stark contrast to this.

    ezdeb said, 2 months ago

    Reasons, I don’t agree. I see the teacher holding her head in dejection at what she’s being forced to show her kids. McCoy has never been satirical in that way; it’s not his style.

    In addition, I would say that it isn’t public school teachers are the fav targets of righties. It’s teachers’ unions and the NEA they hate.

    But maybe it’s just me.

    I don’t know what he’ s thinking, that’s for sure.

    From that POV one would say this is a failed cartoon in that it is open to exactly opposite interpretations.

    I read that with the comic he does with his brother, they switch off doing the writing and the art wrok every other day.

    That might explain (if they do the same here which the article did not say they do) why we’ve seen such crossed messages lately.

    For example was the Teddy Kennedy flip. One day it’s a snark about Kennedy and Mary Jo and the next day it’s two of the three Kennedys welcoming Teddy into Heaven.

    Mc Coy seems to do a flip flop here and the next day as well (if I interpret this one the way you do.)

    Generally I’d say that McCoy is a right wing nutjob, but I do admire his work anyway and he seems to have backed away from the comic you mentioned.

    Perhaps its that McCoy was a single issue guy who is zealously anti abortion, but now he’s starting to see that other than abortion, the left isn’t as crazy as he was lead to believe and the right has craziness in itself too.

    Or I’m just flat out wrong. Won’t be the first time, nor the last.
