Same guy who depicted Secretary Rice as a stereotypically ignorant plantation black woman. He has a history of cranking out stupid, racial, inflammatory cartoons.

from bankrupting our country” with “let’s kill the President.” As usual, any attempt to point out the boy-king’s bad ideas is met with howls of outrage and “racist, vile racist!” Wonder what these same folks would have done if, during the Bush years, the Washington Times had had a cartoon depicting Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid as a sniper sighting in on George W.

Just thinking about it briefly, they would have howled in outrage, perhaps, then they would have gone into a huddle to see if it was possible to pull it off, all to the cheers of their rabid supporters.

I hope that Sen DeMint calls out the state run paper for their attempt to marginalize him. It won’t matter but I will email them and call tomorrow when they have actual people working in the customer service…leeches!

That was my reaction as well – that it was that indeed, which makes it VERY racially charged (and ultra-disgusting).

This is just the latest in a long string of vile and disgusting cartoons from Jeff Danziger. Strange part is that 20 or 30 years ago, he was a cartoonist in Vermont and did lots of hilarious “local color” cartoons that are absolute classics. Then he went down to the Boston Globe and became a psychopath. Go figure.

my first thought was of James Earl Ray’s perch. Then I read the comments at Hot Air and saw a couple of folks who had the same notion. Here’s the pic (#8) if you want to compare:

It could be any old ratty slum, I guess. But I’m quite sure Danziger wasn’t trying to evoke the Texas Schoolbook Depository.

Pelosi gained power by portraying gays as vicious pedophiles in 2006 with the Foley thing.

Now Obama’s trying to incite violence against Republicans by portraying us as would-be assassins.

Which is why he won’t do a thing about that racist brick in the window.

Or could DeMint credibly hint at a lawsuit and force a craven apology out of the WaPo?
