I'm clued in to the extent that I remember that the Nazis portrayed rats with insultingly stereotypical Jewish faces. This political cartoon just looked like drawings of rats. So not the exact same style of imagery IMO.

Your tap dancing lessons are paying off in spades. Both of you.

I'd be more up in arms about this if the cartoon highlighted Jewish Republicans. I'm not going to take the time to go through the cartoon... but I'm going to guess that the depicted politicians are overwhelmingly Christian.

So a cartoon that dehumanizes, verminizes, and is amazingly hate-filled is okey dokey in the 93 household until it specifically denotes jewishness.


And you had the gall to call someone else out in a snide manner about 'must be fun in your house'? In fact, you pulled that line today, wasnt it?

Awesome Al Jolson there 93. <slow clap>

I feel like you and OO were unfamiliar with the concept of political cartoons prior to yesterday.

*edit* I didn't say I love the cartoon. I did say that it was lame and I even called it hateful when pressed. I also said that political cartoons are pretty lame in general IMO. They are often too "on the nose" for my tastes and the more outrageous they are the more attention they get (see yesterday's thread). I just wasn't outraged that this was anti-semitic imagery. Clearly you are and I think it's OK that we disagree on this.
