President Barack Obama's nominee to serve as the U.S. surgeon general, a 36-year-old physician who has attracted criticism for his anti-gun advocacy, complained to a newspaper in 1994 that 'society's preoccupation with firearms' comes from 'fiery gun battles' on Saturday morning cartoons.
Dr. Vivek Murthy, who founded Doctors for Obama in 2008 – a group that later changed its name to 'Doctors for America – was a graduating high school senior at the time, one of several valedictorians the Miami Herald interviewed.
'Vivek Murthy, 16, of Palmetto High, takes television cartoons to task' for 'the growing problem of kids and violence,' according to the Herald.
'Today, a typical elementary student wakes up on Saturday mornings to fiery gun battles, explosive scenes of terror and the violent decimation of the "bad guy" – all this in a children's cartoon,' Murthy said then.
'With such destructive influence, society's preoccupation with firearms and brutal methods of conflict resolution is no surprise.'

He attacks the cartoons, but not a word about Hollywood movies or video games. However, for every one person that is affected by by violent images, thousands aren't.
This is just Obama's way of giving a payoff to a supporter who happens to share his anti-gun stance, even though the person is otherwise unqualified.

Not surprised. Only a toon could come up with Obama's crazy policies.

Really, What does the Surgeon General really do except occupy space? I have been around awhile and seen Surgeon Generals come and go and what do they really do? We had Joycelyn Elders telling us to masturbate and doing drugs was okay and others just filling space to mundane things.
We had one who was over weight telling us we needed to diet.
The problem is we have agencies that serve no purpose except to use money or throw a monkey wretch into things..

I need some asshat younger than me telling me what I need to do?
Yeah, not happening.

Just what I've always wanted, an Obamacare doctor that got his education from comic books and cartoons. Life under Obama is a joke/funny you know.

I have no moral or medical objection to masturbation, but I was completely creeped out by Urkel's Grandma telling me to teach my kids how!

If they can't figure that out by themselves.....well, maybe they shouldn't be practicing to reproduce.

Ten years or less actual experience as a fully-qualified doc qualifies you to set US medical policy? Jeeze. Put me in for Attorney General.
