Mordiceius: Nov 10, 2007; If you think calling me names is gonna get a rise out me, think again. I like my life as an idiot!

I love that conservative cartoonists are depicting Obama as Robin Hood. A story LOVABLE HERO that "stole" from the CORRUPT RICH to give to the needy.

Once again, conservatives are dense as gently caress.

It's almost as good as all the "Obama is Santa" we get at Christmas time.

I still cannot fathom how the hell they thought that was going to work.

I like how this thread has conservative cartoonists depicting Obama as Robin Hood like it's a bad thing while you have Limbaugh over in the RW media thread trying to refashion Robin Hood as the original Tea Partier because he wasn't stealing from the rich, he was taking money from the government that they got from unfair taxation and giving it back to the people who earned it.

Also Obama's latest approval ratings are out, I am sure we will be hearing a lot about them from the usual suspects. I mean it's still important when they go up rather than down, right?

Allie seems to be caught in this permanent state of thinking that everyone always agrees with him that OBAMA BAD, DEMOCRATS BAD, GOVERNOR IS A RAPIST DRUNK and it makes him come off as extremely dense.

�I Killed Martin Luther King��

I can still remember exactly where I was, and what I was doing, when they told me that I killed Martin Luther King. I was in my house, watching our old black and white TV, and I was nine years old. A talking head looked me right in the eye and said that, while I may not have pulled the trigger, �we ALL killed Dr. King�. I didn�t know then that it was the first of thousands of times I�d hear that over the next forty-seven years.

�We ALL� didn�t. Not just we nine-year-olds didn�t, but all of the people, black and white, who supported his ideal of equality, didn�t. But not just them. People who didn�t support Dr. King�s ideas, disagreed with them, even people who were indifferent to them�they didn�t kill him , either.

James Earl Ray (and any accomplices he might have had) killed Martin Luther King, and to say otherwise trivializes his evil act.

But, to a lot of folks, especially in the media and the academy, it sounded wise, circumspect, gratifyingly contrite and, most importantly, in step with the Zeitgeist (cool), to indict an entire people, and �culture� for the evil of one man.

It was, as I saw it, the beginning of a polemical pattern that metastasized into a philosophy. As I went from the late �Sixties into the �Seventies, everything began to be �society�s fault�, America�s fault, �Western Civilization�s fault,� and basically, anybody�s fault but the person or group who actually DID whatever it was that was done. Kids did drugs because of �societal pressure�, violent criminals, who�ve been committing violent crimes for thousands of years, suddenly killed old ladies and children through no fault of their own, but �because of our society�. Fathers who abandoned their children were simply obeying some sort of cultural imperative that society had thrust upon them.

When evil actions are everybody�s fault, they�re nobody�s fault. And, when we erase individual responsibility, as we�ve been desperately doing for all of these years, we make doing evil and doing good equally meaningless. Just random acts blowing in the wind of circumstance.

Dr. King would be the first to denounce such a �legacy�.

Because they used it to frame Obama as taking credit for other people's work. "It was actually these brave military folks that killed Obama, NOT Obama, he's trying to take the glory for himself! What an ~~uppity~~ egotistical tyrant!"

This particular comic was sponsored by someone else, so in this case at least he's just taking money from some freeman on the land or whatever. I guess I can't really fault him for that, at least not any more than I can fault him for the rest of his life choices, which is actually quite a lot I suppose.
