I pride myself on a good sense of humor. Any of my friends will tell you that I laugh a lot. I can even laugh at cartoons that stick it to a Republican candidate’s slip of the tongue, although I’d like to see parity. Gore and Biden have been hilariously off mark and Pelosi? A real kick in the pants. Boxer is more scary than funny. To a certain extent I can live with your lack of fairness as I know from whence you come.
However, sometimes the Yuma Sun runs a political cartoon that simply curdles my blood. This morning’s (September 6) was one such. How can you run cartoons that twist the truth so insidiously? You know full well that the White House purposely selected Friday for President Obama’s speech before a joint session of Congress because they knew the Republicans would have to refuse, their debate having been long ago scheduled for that night. No one in the White House could be so out of touch that they didn’t know the schedule. They knew, but they wanted to paint Conservatives as disrespectful and they knew that all the Democrats and half of the Independents would fall for the ruse. It’s the kind of political skullduggery that has worked so well for Democrats over the years because we conservatives have for so long held our tongues.
No longer. You will either run 4 column inches of Democratic dumbfoolery in your next issue, or I will have to keep you after school every Friday for the rest of the semester.
