One of the games I like to play when I see a profoundly stupid cartoon is to try and figure out where the cartoonist is A: an idiot, B: a dick, C: ignorant, or D: a shill. Each type produces subtly different cartoons. Idiot. Gobbles up the party line, refuses any data that goes against it. True believers.  Dick. More interested in tweaking the nose of those they disagree with than promoting their own agenda or appearing factual.  Ignorant. Low-information political cartoonist, may not eagerly seek out information from select sources like the Idiot but will still often pass on misinformation.  Shill. Knows better, but makes cartoons with bad opinions because it's a moneymaker. There's combinations of the two, of course. Branco is both an idiot and a shill, for instance.

Post 9-11 User posted:It references a scene in Birdman where the character gets his robe stuck in a door. He's locked outside of the backstage area, also implies that he's over the hill just like the main character. Surprisingly in-depth for a cartoonist that is drawing Kerry to look more like Dracula or Leslie Nielsen ... oh wait! You never expect the enemy that's hiding under your hat. Or, in this case, is our hat. I'm watching you Canada.

fade5 posted:Are you not aware that ISIL beheaded 21 Coptic Christians a week or two ago, or that they kidnapped at least 150 (maybe even 285) Assyrian Christians on Monday and are holding them hostage with plans to either kill them or trade them as hostages? Western media has had a tendency to only talk about ISIS victims when they're Christian, which fuels a perception among a lot of people that ISIS is exclusively targetting Christians, or at the very least non-Muslims. (Which is actually pretty beneficial to ISIS and another instance of Western media, especially conservative media, buying fully into the message their enemies want them to buy into.)

I've always liked this cartoon and I thought the "agenda" was pretty obvious, actually. Protracted wars and endless re-deployments have taken an immense toll on our military personnel and the madness has to stop.

JT Jag posted:That was Priggee's cartoon in the OP, it's not the best example of a dick cartoon but Priggee is certainly a dick cartoonist, even if he's a liberal version. Yeah, Priggee can definitely be, ahem, a bit of a prig. Your example coulda been better though. Also, I'm not sure about your classification of Ramirez up there. Given his (and IBD in general's) established role as mouthpiece for the money wing of the Republican Party, I think he fits the "shill" category better. He's just not quite as blatant about it as Payne and Branco. I think someone like Lester or the McCoys would fit your idiot category a little better.

Samurai Sanders posted:She's wearing Arab men's clothes...? Does that mean something? Looks more Iranian to me. Not that Ramirez's audience knows the difference, but I'm guessing it's something about appeasing Iran. I don't know if there's any specific connection, but Hillary Clinton was Obama's Secretary of State, and Obama has yet to turn Iran to glass, so obviously they're horrible appeasers. Oh, and ANY DAY NOW.

I legitimately want her to make a gaff as early into the primaries as possible just so I can stop hearing that tired refrain. It's so loving generic that they can (and do) use it for everything. Thing happens/doesn't happen -> At this point what difference does it make?

Given that this event is actually inviting the public, I think even a cartoonist on Lester's level would understand how laughable it would be to claim 'harassment'.
