First we need to get rid of the roaches in D.C.

step three: dehumanize

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.....prevent_it

I didn’t even know that Dumbya and his posse stopped in Iran.

Wow! The Jews were portrayed as cochroaches by the German Nazi movement. They don’t even change the insect for propaganda. Somebody has a copy of Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler.

WTF….where do these people (and I use the term loosely) come from?

The fix is in. The brainwashing by the corporate controlled media has begun to ratchet upwards. God damned their souls to hell.

“We must kill the Tutsi cockroaches” - Hutu Power Radio.

Or… does anyone rememberanymore?

sonofabitch! That reminds me. I need to pick up a LAWN JOCKEY.

I don’t get what they are trying to say other than to insult a nation. What am I missing?

The modern witch hunt is alive and well. Amazing how many still subscribe to branding and obliterating.

This cartoon was featured in the “right wing cartoon” post a couple of weeks ago on C&L. The same artist did one with roaches crawling out of Syria, I think.

Ah the Columbus Dog Patch. Of all the bad things about living in klumbus the Dog Patch ieditorial page is probably in the top 20. But doesn’t that walking pool of dog vomit ramirez work for the LA Times and syndicated by the Tribune company?

Oh, whoops. Kaid seems to have answered my question while I was typing it.

Technically, cockroaches got TO water.

Meanwhile somewhere in hell Herr Goebbels smiles…

TYPO … go TO water

On the positive side, if we attack Iran, then the invasion of Iraq will only be the second worst tactical error in U.S. History.

Whoever did this cartoon doesn’t know how to draw a cockroach, I doubt he has actually seen one in his life. Nor an Iranian for that matter, it makes it so much easier to dehumanize them.

It is sick. Thanks for reminding us to be polite. It’s hard after seeing this, but it is important.

Looks like Crawford, Tx.

Yuppers. That’s it, I’m going out to get a bottle of wine. I seem to have come out of the chocolate induced coma I ate myself into earliar.

What do you expect from Ramirez. His cartoons have been on the same comic level as the “1/2 Hour News Hour” for some time.

what year is this again!?

how do they let something like this print? disgusting.

How do I subscribe?

1930s — Germany.

Couldn’t stand him when he drew this type of junk for the L.A. Times. I see he has gotten even more demented. Too much kool-aid for this sickie

i’d like a statement from the paper and from the artist. i’d like to know exactly what they are trying to say in this cartoon. maybe there is something we are missing.

Hrm. Does this mean that if we hit them with nukes, they won’t be affected? The Iranian menace is more serious than I previously suspected.

You aint missing nothin Jeff. You obviously don’t know what a sickie Ramirez is

Apparently Ramirez has forgotten how mexican-americans were once (and still are) referred to as cockroaches for breeding large families. But, then again, maybe he hasn’t forgotten and he was looking for an opportunity to pass that on to some other ethnic group. Tag! Your it! Can’t touch me cuz Ah gots the king’s X.

I thought cartoons were supposed to be funny.

I was about to say the same thing - something about this cartoon seems familiar. Extremely tacky, in poor taste, and downright pathetic, but familiar… I plan on showing this to my Media Analysis class tomorrow. Hopefully it will pop a few bubbles.

Looks more like the mass exodus from the Bush White House.

Goebbels and Fritz Hippler would be so proud!

What a disgusting cartoon.

You decide.

This image is the perfect defence for SINator Craig. He wasn’t waving his hand under the toilet stall to solicit sex, he was just shooing those pesky terrorists down the drain of the airport lavatory pertecktin’ Ahmurka from the brown hordes.

It’s part of a plan to sell war on Iran to the american public via corporate media … guess where it originates?

They [the source’s institution] have “instructions” (yes, that was the word used) from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day; it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don’t think they’ll ever get majority support for this—they want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is “plenty.”

Here’s an article on the New Yorker about (with the above quote):

Could be a busy Autumn for the blogosphere if this does show up in the MSM! Heads up y’all - pay ‘tention!!

Dear Columbus Ohio,

You know that we Iranian’s have no sense of humor.
This can only fan the flames of terror and hatred.

A cock-a-roche can live through anything mind you

Just like U.S., more than 60% (maybe even more) of the Iran’s population doesn’t like it’s suppressive government. They can get rid of the extremists that are currently in power there, but why do that, when they can blow up Iran and then have Haliburton, etc., go there and charge the Iranians to build their country back up?”

Oh, yeah! That’ll win hearts and minds…

Oh, wait! I get it!

Iranians are not human beings at all! They are cockroaches and we are allowed to step on them, shoot them or nuke them because we are sooo superior!

Foriegn policy run amock!

and next the war begins….

I don’t get it. Are Iranians supposed to be cockroaches because they’re selling/giving arms to further their interests in the region? If that’s the case, did our giving Saddam Hussein weapons to use against the Iranians in the war he waged against them in the 80’s make us (the U.S.) cockroaches, too?

no were rats!

Uh, if I send a comment it will be anything BUT polite. The time to be polite has passed. The time to scream FUCK YOU into people’s faces has arrived.

No kidding. Anyone see that old episode of Married with Children dedicated to the Cockroach?

AL: Anyway, what I’m saying is, you didn’t kill Jim. Good health
killed Jim. See, he purified his body so completely, that when finally called on to do
so, he couldn’t handle the grease and sugar and toxic waste that we call food. He
rendered himself extinct. See, healthy people are like dinosaurs. They’re not fit to
survive. Jim’s body couldn’t handle the burgers and bonbons and pastry suckin’s like real
Americans. You see, Peg, WE are the truly strong.

PEGGY) You really think so, Al?

AL) Absolutely. See that cockroach over there?

PEGGY) [points] That one?

AL) [points] No, that one. Well, any one of them. You don’t see them carrying of a can of
Wheat Germ, do you?

KELLY) Gurm, Dad.

AL) Thank you, Pumpkin. Anyhow, Peg, let’s follow the example of our friend the cockroach.
They were before man, they’ll be here after man. You know why? They eat crap. And I say,
if it’s good enough for the cockroach, then it’s good enough for my family!

Onscreen) “This show is dedicated to our brother, The Mighty Cockroach. Let him show us the way.”

sick

Yep, it must time to whip up some mass hysterical fear, loathing and hatred of another nation of people we know nothing about, so we can feel good about killing them for God and black Gold. As for nuclear weapons, why should we care if they make one in a year or ten years? We have thousands of them. The Israelis may have hundreds. A single Trident Submarine could turn Iran into radioactive glass, and the Iranians know it. They couldn’t match us in the nuclear terror game of an arms race of a thousand years. Fearing Iran’s “nuclear threat” is more ridiculous than an elephant fearing a mouse.

If your a Fascist and you know it clap your hands?

The next time a Ramirez cartoon is witty or insightful will be the first.

A little perspective here.
It’s a cartoon.
Just like the cartoons the Iranians drew about the Holocaust last year after the Danish cartoon row.

OK, so it’s a sucky cartoon, too.

That is not really the point, is it?

We are once again being primmed to support yet another diasterous war (we currently have two in progress) and we can either sit here like fools and say and do nothing and let it happen or we can get pissed off and put a seop to it.

or a stop* if you prefer.
