Obama portrayed as rapist of Lady Liberty in sicko, crappy cartoon
Lady Liberty Defiled by Poorly Drawn Cartoon
by James Wolcott
March 23, 2010, 11:33 AM
In a desperate, ghoulish plea for attention (now that even right wing sites are no longer linking to it), Protein Wisdom has published an editorial cartoon portraying President Obama as a gloating, unrepentant rapist with Lady Liberty his weeping victim, her torch lying broken at the foot of the bed. Rapist Obama tells Lady Liberty to stop whining, get herself cleaned up, and promises he'll be back later with "friends," i.e., a gang-rape.
For those slower cowpokes among Protein Wisdom's armchair outlaws, the cartoon is helpfully titled "Rape of Liberty," to ensure they won't miss the message over the sound of their own chewing.
The perpetrator of this tawdry little exercise, a flagrant offender named Darleen Click, doesn't care if you think this cartoon is racist because conservatives get called racist no matter what we do and we're sick of it and besides "I made it a cartoon and not a photoshop and the “woman†is green. Deal, people."
I find the logic of that statement somewhat elusive, though I suppose we should be grateful that it's a symbolic green statue being shown forcibly violated in that Psycho room and not, oh, the Virgin Mary, virgin no more. With Easter coming up, perhaps Protein Wisdom will favor us with Lady Liberty hanging from the cross as Obama drives in the last nail--I wouldn't put anything past those "desperadoes."
Well, whatever one's feelings about the semiotics of this cartoon and the political sentiments I think we can all put aside our political and philosophical differences and agree that it makes for one crappy piece of artwork.

2. WELCOME SHIT-WIT FREEPERS - You cowardly lint-lickers.
You cowards don't have the stones to own this fruit of your labor, but you sure can find the "unrec" button fast.

3. the comments section at Protein is indistinguishable from Stormfront.
Plenty of people bragging that they are racist. Well, if that's the way they think, then I got nothing to discuss with them, any more than I do with the Klan.

6. That's assuming there was anything left of "Lady Liberty" after Bush and Cheney finished with her.

I don't understand why stealing a Presidential election, authorizing torture, negating habeus corpus, starting wars based on bald-faced, obvious lies, ordering 'extra-constitutional' spying on Americans... any of that is, what, just no problem?...
But Obama passes a law instituting some basic, minor regulations on the Insurance Industry that even most Republicans are in favor of... and he's "raping lady liberty"?
Tea Bag? More like Hy-per-bo-leeeeeEEE-bag. Get a ****ing grip, people.

8. Artwork as a whole has gotten pretty "crappy" in the past few years
Most notably when they actually did start using "crap" and urine in it.

12. This is "Birth of a Nation" type imagery.
They're not even trying to disguise their bigotry anymore.
I see nothing racist, bigoted or implying gang rape. Granted we all know that Lord Zero couldn't have done this without the help of all the Dems in congress.
Now for the offending cartoon.

Notice that none of the DUmmies complained about this possibly trivializing rape or belittling women.

Considering none of the above happened in real life, no problem....
But Obama passes a law instituting some basic, minor regulations on the Insurance Industry that even most Republicans are in favor of... and he's "raping lady liberty"?
Calling 2,400 pages "basic, minor..., etc." is the ultimate understatement. BTW, which Republicans were in favor of it, since NONE voted for it, DUmbass!

Nothing a "basic, minor...., etc." cleansing of the population won't cure.
Sometimes I even agree with the communist methods of the left.

Like the old saying goes:

I'd say the 100% of the DUmp denziens that aren't moles fit this category.

If Bush was as bad as these people said he was, they would have been thrown into camps and disappeared years ago. What a pity.

Unfortunately, what they imagined under President Bush, could become a reality if Lord Zero gets his way.

And yet, they cheer Lord Zero on because he's not left enough.... :mental:
Hell, to DUmmies, Mao was a piker, Stalin a beginner, and Pol Pot an underachiever....
