Sorry Judy, when you justified the politics of it, you defended it. Doesn't
matter what else you say about it.Saying it was disgraceful is like putting
lipstick on a pig and refusing to call it a pig.

No, Mike, I am NOT defending the cartoon. I said it was "disgraceful." As I
said, your reading comprehension is in the toilet.

Your reading comprehension is getting worse and worse. I didn't defend the
cartoon, I said I understood why some might do so: because the *political*
point was valid. The political point had nothing to do with race. If Prissy in
GWTW and/or Condi had been white, the exact same point would have been made
with the same cartoon without the racial aspect.

It is a matter of hypocrisy Judy. Ollie suggested that a cartoon of Michelle
Obama was racist because of her body mass as opposed to Trumps former model
wife and I countered with the hypocrisy of the left. If you didn't notice, I
followed that sentence invoking the Times and the Post with a question mark.
No, it wasn't published by them but was by a syndicated cartoonist that they
frequently publish and continue to do so.Let's not play stupid Judy, you know
exactly what the sentiment of that cartoon was meant to convey. A black woman
sitting in a rocking chair, rocking an aluminum tube as if it were a baby with
a play on words from a famous movie. The line, "I don't know nothing 'bout
birthing babies", mocking a simpleton, an uneducated lazy slave, one who does
what the massa tells her to do.
The very fact that you can defend it, while claiming you're not, is ten times
lower than my not knowing that neither the Times nor the Post actually
published it even though it was one of their syndicated cartoonists.It was all
about hypocrisy Judy..

For you to suggest the cartoon was published in the New York Times or
Washington Post when you knew it wasn't was pretty low, Mike.
And I just got done saying myself that the accuracy of the caption wasn't
relevant.
I don't know what "sentiment" the cartoon was intended to evoke, and neither do
you. The political point, though, was valid, and I would guess that's why some
defended it.

No Judy, I didn't need a source. I remember the controversy it caused. Whether
it was published in a news paper or not, it was defended by liberal bloggers
and people in the media and there was more than just that one cartoon. The
accuracy of the caption is irrelevant. It's the sentiment that it intended to
evoke, that she was a stupid, uneducated, black woman, still on the plantation.

A cartoon about Michelle being big and husky?How about the one with Condolezza
Rice crying *I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' tubes* while rocking ion a
chair with a rag tied around her head as if she were a slave in Gone With The
Wind. Was that New York Times or Washington Post?
Hmmmmmmmm?
That disgraceful cartoon was never published in a newspaper, only on the
cartoonist's Web site.
So much for the accuracy of your right-wing sources. (You have the caption
wrong too, but it doesn't make any difference.)
