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.

I feel like you are unfamiliar with the concept of reading.

Of course, I am familiar with political cartoons, for many more years than you have been alive.

I don't consider there was antisemitic imagery. I consider that there was anti- Trumpsupporter imagery. My point have nothing, nada, zero, zilch, nil t do with race - it was ALL about politics.

Now you and Lad have driven this discussion far enough off course. At first I thought yall were just mistaken. Then I thought yall might be dense. NOW I think it was all on purpose.
