Read the loving interview in the post you just quoted. Jesus Christ.

Snowden willingly took a job working for a surveillance program violating human rights on a global scale (it's not like anybody in the field was all that surprised about his and Manning's leaks after all, there have been Echelon days for years) so he probably still isn't fit to be an example of personal integrity. :shrug:

That is some straight up catch-22 bullshit right there. Tell me how the gently caress just being in a position to witness the crimes he came forward about make him complicit in the crimes themselves.

In an unrelated note, this is a rhetorical question, why are people so mad at Obama for not making an appearance in France when it's a de facto job responsibility of the vice president to be at these sorts of events on the president's behalf. My first instinct was to check to see if Biden attended and sadly he did not. I wonder if he was absent for the stated reason, or he's just taking a break from the public eye after creeping on all those little girls at the swearing in of the new congress.

Willfully working in a logistical support capacity for a criminal organization makes you complicit in that organization's actions.

There are literally cartoons about how Obama is on the side of the people gunning down journalists. I'm surprised one of the McCoys hasn't published a cartoon of Obama shooting cartoonists himself while saying "Just making sure there are no survivors." It's ridiculous how much they hate him.

I drew this after reading Arthur Chu's Charlie Hebdo-deflating column on the Daily Beast. I don't disagree with all his points, but his Internet triumpahlism stuck in my eye. And hey, sometimes a guy just has to draw an overweening cartoon.



In the spirit of Mr. Chu's essay, I'd like to offer my unsolicited opinion that while the murders at the delicatessen were unfortunate, I don't, myself, care much for delicatessens.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Of the pages upon pages of boring Hebdo cartoons I had to scroll through, I have only enjoyed that Dees and Ted Rall's initial hissyfit. I can't help but feel it really overshadowed what could have been a mountain of lovely Chris Christie cartoons and furious George Zimmerman backpedaling. Way to go, terrorists :rolleyes:

I do enjoy conservative cartoonists pretending they didn't spend the last decade+ making GBS threads all over France, though!

Actually, if you're a crazy anti-Zionist, this is the exact sort of thing that would seem amazingly rational to you. Why would a bunch of crazy jihadists attack some comic-makers of all people?? Now, if Mossad did it, it incites violence against Muslims, that furthers their goals!!

Chances are that the people who committed the murders were hoping for a country-wide crackdown on Muslims in order to increase the ranks of Islamist extremists in France. But lets just place the blame on the same people you blame everything else that is bad on.
