Looking at this cartoon, just says it all,it really does.
What a fake.
The man really does not understand America at all, nor do his advisors.
WVDOTTR
Speaking of Obama advisors, did anybody see ANYTHING on the Wailing Wall note that they leaked intentionally to the Israeli newspaper?
I didn't watch too much TV news tonight..anybody see a THING? Or is it 'business as usual'.....'keep Obama blameless of ANYTHING'?
again.
A Few Thoughts About Satire and Free Speech
You may not think so at first, but I see this as relevant.
Would Auntie Mame be permitted to say (to the quintessential WASP caricature and arch-villain trust administrator, Dwight Babcock) "I won't have my Patrick put in some safety deposit box in a dry-veined restricted community married off to an Aryan from Darien with braces on her brains," today?
What if that sort of incisive wit and satire were focused on an ethnic group OTHER than the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants of old?
Methinks we WASPS are the last––––and the only–––group it is permissible to lampoon, deride and deprive with impunity.
The question is "Why are we WASPS so eagerly COMPLICIT in this process?" Republicans today take every attack, every slight, every distortion and every vicious fabrication as though it were their just desserts.
What gives?
For the record I have loved and enjoyed Auntie Mame for all of her fifty-odd years of existence. The book, the play and the movie are great pieces of comedic art. However, if author Patrick Dennis can do it to the WASPS, why can't–––or why WON'T–––WASPS do it to others?
Satirizing Muslims earns you a death sentence. Making fun of certain others earns you official ostracism, may cost you your job, and in some places may cause you to wind up in jail.
Is that fair?
