   Benson is a Bold Faced Liar!

   Zero Guns were used, it was Mother nature’s Fury.

   Benson is one sick man and insults the residents of Moore OK with his stupid Cartoon.

   Wow, you really ARE as far out of touch with reality as everyone says.

   There have been many times when a cartoon was about one thing, climate change for instance, and the commentators try to make it apply to another topic entirely, such as Benghazi.
   This is the first time I’ve seen one of the cartoonists do it though.
   Benson could have had a climate change denier at that podium and still been in the ball park. He could have brought up how people are still recovering in New Jersey from Sandy and even in New Orleans from Katrina. He could have made a statement about how Wash. DC reacts to disasters or even Mr. Coburn’s call that emergency aid funds be offset by spending cuts as soon as the money on hand is gone. There were lots of things he could have said.
   This one wasn’t one of them.
   I usually like Mr. Benson’s topics and art, not today though. The NRA has nothing to do with this event beyond the fact that people whose guns were lost in the storm may be found miles away but without proper records showing the serial number and to whom it belongs, the owners can’t claim them.
   Tigger is right. Unless the NRA has made a statement of which I’m unaware and can’t find with a quick google search, the cartoon insults the people involved in the tragedy and the intelligences of those who read it.

   “If we’d had enough guns, that tornado would’ve been too afraid to mess with us!”
   But, really, if you want some real-life stupidity to laugh at, go listen to the conspiracy theorists who claim that the federal government created and guided that tornado along its path.

   We can see the NRA gun cowards whining about keeping their assault weapons and high capacity magazines so they can foment armed revolution against the first black president in the White House. I think Steve Benson sized up the NRA gun coward supreme, Wayne Lapierre, perfectly!

    An analogy requires the comparison of two things. This has to be one of the most bizarre attempts at making an analogy I’ve ever seen. Metaphor and simile don’t work either.

    Tigger said… (antiqueman and echoboy too…) Benson is… One might ask, “How cute is rightwing indignation?” One might, but I just think it’s like watching an episode of The Office. I.e. a sad train wreck of self absorbed illogic.

    Although mikefive, it does resonate with reality that if the same amount of fervor and money had been spent to make these schools safe from tornados, as getting guns into every nook and cranny to “make us safe.” Perhaps real issues, such as infrastructure improvements to America; safe new highways,a protected and updated modern national energy grid, modern schools would help to make us really safe. The opportunity was shirked to pander to austerity hysterics, instead of jobs creation through infrastructure repair and renewal. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars preoccupied, and economically crippled America, when quieter, but more pressing issues, such as repairing and aged transportation systems,dams,sea walls highway,bridges,schools,the national energy grid were ignored! We have done little to prepare for the coming effects of global warming, such as droughts,crop failures, effects to live stock, violent and frequent storms, as this cartoon clearly points out. We need to rethink our priorities.

    And not only did Obama cause this tornado with his new Weather Weapon, he also ordered soldiers to rape all female soldiers to divert attention from his many scandals. Can’t you liberals see it’s beyond coincidence for Bengazi, IRS, APA, tornados, and military rape to all happen simultaneously?

    Unlike the conservatives whose lack of basic humor is showing, I get the cartoon. It’s pretty clever, actually. The NRA’s solution, more guns in schools, would be just as useless at preventing tornadoes as it would be at preventing gun deaths. But that doesn’t stop the NRA from spouting off, in the hopes that stupid, pointless, useless distractions will prevent sensible gun reform.

    I heard the money to build safe rooms in schools was held back by the republicans cause, all them government regulations “rankle”.
