Ok, normally I try to hold off posting too much in here these days, try not to spam EVERY bad cartoon I see and just the really Terrible ones. Well I just saw one that really needed to be posted as a TERRIBLE cartoon:

Image

Because evidently,
The Oil Disaster is all Obamas' fault.
The economic crises is all Obams' fault.
and The budget deficit is all Obama's fault.

Seriously... The right wing must have literally blocked all memory of Bush as a sitting president.

So I take it Obama went on a lone commando mission and sabotaged BP's rig himself, thus making him responsible? That just means that he's awesome.

Environmental disaster worse than the dust bowl? Nope.
Economic crisis worse than the Great Depression? Nope.
Budget deficits higher than WWII? Nope.

So, not only a false conclusion, but even the evidence is false.

Alas, I am not even a little bit surprised.

On top of everything else, it does not even bother to try to tell a joke or is even visually interesting its just images of a person's head like something a student taking a course in cartoons would make for practice. Now that is pathetic.

I actually agree with you that that is a terrible cartoon, because of what Zor said. (Seriously, if you don't have anything visual to draw then just write a letter to the editor, dumbshit.)

However, I do not see how the content is on the same plane of existence as "Women who use birth control are whores" or "Lovingly-drawn picture of 9/11 therefore we should torture people" or "Gay marriage is like barging into someone's house and stealing his stuff" or "Kagan is gay for socialism and plays softball with the press using beach balls." It's just a stupid wordplay jab.

Its not even that. It might not be "picture of beloved grandma being gang raped by a racist depiction of a Black Man Walrus creature" upfront in offensiveness, but seriously the utter lack of creative effort beyond an at best average drawing of a human face. It litterally reminds me of that parody cartoon of Mallard Filmoore from Jon Stewart's America book where they had the title charecter simply listing off conservative veiwpoints on liberals and said "oh, i forgot to tell a joke", only worse. This one is just that. If this was published two years ago with "eviromental disaster" replaced by military disaster it would still belong here. What is offensive is that it got published and is not simply fouling up some conservatard's deviantart account.

Apparently the Taliban will be using Mercedes to terrorize the countryside because of the new mineral wealth found and for some reason it's Obama's fault.

I think the general theme here is:

"Anything and everything bad that happens in the world is Obama's fault. Additionally, anything we imply will happen by means of various non-sequiturs or slippery slopes is also Obama's fault. We will then use our statements of imaginary future events, attributed as being Obama's fault, in future installments, as though they actually happened.

If anything is found to be untrue with this - it is Obama's fault."
Though we are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,--
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I think what it means is that because Obama is planning on leaving Afghanistan at some point, the minerals won't stabilize the region but instead just get terrorist in the area rich off them.

Artistic style? Not everything has some instristic meaning behind it in these things, but if there is probably some slight jab at the accusation that he's not a US citizen and thus an alien.

And also portraying the Gulf Oil Disaster as a minor, non-event pinprick.

I assume the artist is a Limbaugh fan.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

Under the same vein that "Obama is worse then the oil spill" We seem to have "hauling BP before Congress = TORTURE!"

And this one, just WTF is being said and why is MSM stuck in it?

It's a "Obama's not the Messiah he thinks" (or the left thinks; either works) pronouncement coupled with a "the MSM is liberal biased" and "makes things out to be worse than they are" combo.

That's funny, because I don't know anyone with an Obamessiah complex at all, and I don't think the media is liberal (just corporatist), and if anything they whitewash everything that involves rich people committing crimes or taking poor people's money away or poor people getting their rights taken away after some random criminal or terrorist act. If anything it's the MSM that are deluding themselves about the state of the union.

Oddly enough, the people who screech loudest about "Obama=Messiah!" are the Rightists and Teabagger types. Because they are just assuming that is how the Liberals see him.
...and I don't think the media is liberal (just corporatist)
But remember, corporations are good because they provide jobs and look out for people, and bring prosperity, etc. And they do this, true, but to their cronies. Think of the trust fund children!

Well, the poor deserve to have things taken away from them, because if they had a solid work effort and a sense of drive they would have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and gotten rich starting their own businesses and been able to fend for themselves!

And we can only imagine what the reaction would have been if McChrystal had said the same things about "President McCain" and Vice President RealDoll. :roll:
