Rick Moran with an interesting take on today’s Day by Day cartoon.
Many of you will recall when we conservatives came down hard on Jane Hamsher of Firedog Lake for her photoshopped picture of Joe Lieberman in minstrel make up. It is an unnecessary, hurtful reminder of days past when black people were thought not good enough to share the stage with white people. And to make matters worse, the Minstrel Show itself portrayed blacks in the most nauseatingly, submissive, subservient ways imaginable.
Muir makes a living going to the edge. That’s what good cartoonists do. But putting anyone in black face cannot be seen as anything except out of bounds for decent society. We conservatives said as much following Jane Hamsher’s extraordinary Lieberman slur. And we should say the same about Mr. Muir and his idea of humor
I must say, I agree.

Cal,
I like Day by Day as a rule, but even if I wanted to remove it I would mess up the entire template of this blog, and I’m not going to pay someone to remove it.

Most of the blogs that were a bit upset by this today did not remove it I am sure for the same reasons you did not.
It is not the removal that is important it is the fact that as Conservatives we show that when we have shown strong objections to something Liberals have done in the past we are not hypocrites.
I did think of all the sites that criticized, Rick Moran did so without a total takedown of Chris Muir and the everyday cartoon. To me, that is as it should be.
