We know about the Israeli attack on USS Liberty, but so little is known about the Liberty's secret ketchup cargo which then spilled overboard. Who were the Americans delivering this ketchup to? Why was LBJ making comments about the dryness of Egyptian burgers mere weeks before the attack? I'm just asking questions. Starving Wolf fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Jun 8, 2017 |

Is there some point to using the Disney version or Robin Hood, or is the cartoonist so poorly read that it's the only incarnation he's aware of?

Internet Kraken posted:Yeah while the right loves bashing Hillary for literally any reason, dubious treatment of prisoners is definitely not something they should be objecting to. The only people I can see really caring about this are leftists on the internet that want Hillary to vanish into the wilderness forever. So you're saying the Rall comic is on its way?

Marlette's a centrist-ish Democrat. He supported Hillary over Bernie early in the primaries but after the conventions and "but her emails" became the big story he backed into "both candidates are bad" territory.

Roland Jones posted:Yeah, like stated, prison labor is literally legal slavery, so Hillary benefiting from it and not seeing problems from it is pretty hosed up, even if she's far from the only person to do so. I once worked as a manager for a warehouse company that had two locations. My location used regular workers, but the other location in the state next door used all prison labor. The owner constantly bitched about how my location had higher costs and overhead, and was too stupid to grasp that I was competing with slave labor. I don't know what I'm going for with post. Just a memory you triggered. Maybe a metaphor for moving american factories to china for low labor or something.

You think Russel Crowe or Kevin Costner would have been better? The fox is arguably the most well known depiction.

loquacius posted:This is an explicit exception to the Thirteenth Amendment, meaning that it is essentially legal slavery. I hope this isn't something too minor to be pedantic about (and I apologize if it is), but I just completed a course on this at my university and technically this would fall under unfree labor instead of slavery. Slavery is a form of unfree labor, but so is indentured servitude. The important difference is that in slavery, a person is held as property by their master and has few (if any) legal protections, whereas in servitude a worker is not property, but is held to a contract by their employer (often also called a master) that they (theoretically) entered into willingly and they do have certain legal protections. In both cases, a worker is bound to their master and cannot leave until their term of service is complete (a length of service agreed upon in the contract for a servant; until death or emancipation for a slave). If I remember correctly, the 13th Amendment officially abolished all forms of slavery in the United States, but it still permitted other forms of unfree labor, including using prisoners as labor. By the time of the Civil War, all forms of unfree labor other than slavery had long been in decline and had nearly died out and free/wage/paid labor had been on the rise taking its place.

I think he remembered the scene where half the townsfolk of Nottingham are locked up and kinda forgot that Robin Hood himself was not part of that roundup. Or, maybe he just has a thing for anthropomorphism:

little munchkin posted:this is a country where Joe Arpaio and David Clarke are celebrated. Any criticism of prisoner treatment will get met with "well maybe they shouldn't have committed crimes them" by the majority of voters. It's sweet that you think they will have any cognitive dissonance whatsoever blaming Hillary for being the real racist while deciding whether to vote for Joe Arpaio in a primary challenge to Trump. Meanwhile, in the funny pages, a little girl is beat up:

Maybe a "No U" category for cartoons projecting all of the horrible poo poo their side is doing/supporting onto their opponents. I mean, the act itself isn't anything new, but, it seems like this administration in particular is going to make it into an art form.

World Famous W posted:Would be kind of hard because you would need to supply a 'before' and 'after' cartoon. I was thinking more of the slew of individual cartoons about "Nazis were against free speech, therefore a college student who demonstrates against literal Nazis is worse than a Nazi" or "Violence at protests is bad, therefore we should beat up liberal protestors" or "Joking about your enemies getting decapitated is terrible, therefore I'll draw Kathy Griffin getting decapitated". Maybe it's a bit hard to define, though.

I will be using the standard general categories of I feel like there should be more than enough material to have a category on the inability of conservative cartoonists to let Obama go and acknowledge that issues are caused by 45. Not sure what to call it though. Worst breakup with 44 perhaps?
