…and “leading from behind” (which was called “pushing” in more honest times) like this has permeated society, which is why President Downgrade can always blame EVERYTHING on someone else.
What courage. They make the decision to run it, and when the Inevitable Outrage Machine™ fires up, they sacrifice the person who created the content, rather than defending their decision.
“Despicable” doesn’t quite describe it. Nothing is ever anyone’s responsibility anymore, unless they aren’t the ones who made The Decision That Mattered™ or aren’t in a position to defend themselves, then it’s their fault.
And this particular “OUTRAGE!!!11!!!!Eleventy!!!”? Get back to me when the riots start because the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People refuses to change their name.(Ben Jealous, please pick up the courtesy phone. Ben Jealous, please pick up the courtesy phone.)
Yeah, yeah. I know. Just like another word we are supposed to fear and loathe, there is nothing wrong when those with “enhanced melanin” say it.
Now Ms. Eisner can make similar drawing with the caption “…and opinions, and anything else that might be controversial or cause pain were outlawed, right before laws were passed relieving anyone of the ability to make a decision without the approval of “experts” and the guarantee of government that they will never have to suffer the negative consequences of those decisions.”
What was the cartoon? Honestly, since that tool Doonsbury comic writer asshat never gets fired, and I’m offended by his stupidity every week, I’m calling bullshit on these folks.
Click on “this” in the first paragraph.
Well, at least somebody still enjoys the truth of true humor.

Putting aside the obligatory slap at Obama (completely irrelevant for this post), I have to agree with you on this one.
I thought only in radical Muslim countries do folks get so worked up over cartoons. And your reference to the C in NAACP does indeed point out a huge example of cognitive dissonance.
For once … bravo dude.
By the end of the weekend I’ll be posting on the artist showing some other examples of her work.
The “controversial” work is actually consistent with the body of work I’ve seen from her.
Alfie, is she related to Will Eisner?
I wondered that myself.
I don’t think so but she appears to be more than a fair student and person of character who was taught a crappy lesson for sure. I’ve posted on the matter btw,thx.
If it’s not too much trouble, do you think you could kindly make a small blog post showing your readership the petition to have the cartoonist (Ms. Eisner) reinstated?
