Good Heavens-- Have You Seen This?

"Racism" is only racist if it can be pinned on a conservative.

Now, let me say something. I actually think there is far too much PC in this world. I don't think that making some lighthearted jab about race or sexuality is necessarily hateful -- context and spirit are important -- but this is pretty offensive.

And it's also offensive that all this talk of "sensitivity" is so transparently used for a purely political purpose. If liberals really cared about sensitivity, they wouldn't indulge themselves in gratuitiously offensive jokes like this. They care primarily about strong-form "sensitivity" -- Thou Shalt NEVER Say Anything Even Close to Being Hurtful or Offensive -- as a weapon to use against conservatives.

Via Michelle Malkin.

Update: A cartoon in the spirit of Danziger, with Al Sharpton as a pimp.

Look, you traffic in this sort of crap, and they you can't whine about "sensitivity," Jeffy.

Will I out myself as stupid if I admit I don't get it?

Really sickening. And he's some kind of major cartoonist. The funny thing is, the stereotype is not only racist, it's outdated, by at least 50 years - "I knows"? Danziger must think he knows black people from having seen Gone With the Wind.

Posted by: Yaron on October 12, 2004 04:20 PM

Karol - it's a take-off of a scene in "Gone With the Wind" when Scarlett O'Hara is in labor and the only people with her are her former slaves. The youngest ("Prissy," I think) when told to help says "I don't know nuthin about birthin' babies!"

Posted by: Branford on October 12, 2004 04:28 PM

Argh - she said "I don't know nuthin about birthin' no babies" - I think that's correct!

Posted by: Branford on October 12, 2004 04:29 PM

The congenitally sensitive need to own their feelings. No one makes them do anything, much less feel offended. And if the speaker had no intent to offend, then the offendee is doubly at fault.

"You made me take a flying fuck on a rolling doughnut. That offended me. And now I have all this icing...."

another issue with this guy: several of the other cartoons in the slideshow deal with BUSH reinstituting the draft.

if you had been out of the country for a while and saw one of these cartoons in the NYTimes you would assume (quite reasonably) that Bush or his minions must have proposed a Draft.

But WE know that hasn't happened. So the NYTimes doesn't require this "speech" to have a single iota of truth underlying it?

Posted by: sonofnixon on October 12, 2004 05:03 PM

Danziger is a freakin moron. He's the featured cartoon on the editorial page of the Sac Bee almost every day. The Ted Rall of the west.

My two year old is more insightful on his magna-doodle.

Posted by: Bud Tugley on October 12, 2004 05:27 PM

OK, this man is clearly afraid of a strong, intelligent woman who is a minority. This ugly cartoon was published and approved of by someone. Has the left gone mad?

Stupid question, sorry, I should know better.

The moral and intellectual corruption on display here has gone past disgusting, and entered the realm of...no, pathos doesn't cover it...bathos.

Posted by: Dianna on October 12, 2004 05:56 PM

Just to correct about the movie reference, it is Scarlett's friend Melanie who is having the baby, not Scarlett.

And now to my other comment: why is it that 4 or 8 or 12 years ago we heard so many put-down comments about "angry white men" voters against Clinton and Gore, with anger being cited as a point against right-leaning voters, yet now, with the left so much more rabidly angry than the right ever was, we never hear that put-down description about them? Oh, I forgot: anger against conservatives is the rational reaction to morally outrageous positions, while anger against liberals is an irrational reaction to the loss of the ill-gotten fruits of society's bigotry. Now I remember.

I get the GWTW reference, but tubes? What current event do I know nothing about here?

Posted by: lime on October 12, 2004 07:26 PM

the aluminum (sp?) tubes we thought Hussein was using for uranium enrichment but instead turned out to be for making milkshakes or some such.

Posted by: Josh Martin on October 12, 2004 09:34 PM

Oddly enough racism didn't occur to me when I saw the cartoon. I thought it was a play on how 'women-folk don't need education, they ought to be kept bare foot and pregnant'. But the Gone With the Wind reference was lost on me since I've only read the book and not seen the movie.

Regardless, it is bigoted and offensive.

Posted by: Justin on October 12, 2004 10:08 PM

If you think that one is bad click on the via malkin link and look at what a Democratic candidate is sending out to voters. REALLY disgusting.

Posted by: on October 12, 2004 10:56 PM

You must remember, liberals are not held to the same standard as conservatives in the eyes of the MSM. That's how an obviously racist cartoon can be published without reservation. That is how a
Democratic congressman can use a gay slur and be forgiven. That is how Bush=Hitler can go unchallanged.

Posted by: mbranca on October 13, 2004 07:24 AM

Like a poster above, I don't get it. What does the president's NSC adviser have to do with aluminum tubes? Anyone who does get this "cartoon," pls fill me in. Email address erp617@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

"Jeffy"?

Posted by: Jeff G on October 13, 2004 10:36 AM

The Following is the text of a letter sent to me by the NYTimes in which Bill Borders admits that the Danziger Cartoon is OBVIOUSLY both RACIST and OFFENSIVE.

"Mr. McBryde:

It is of considerable importance to us. I haven't gotten back to you again because I didn't have all the facts. I still don't, but I can see that I should have given you an interim report.

Obviously the cartoon is racist and deeply offensive. Whether that means that Danziger himself is racist I don't know and don't much care. My only real concern is whether and to what extent this cartoon had any relation to The New York Times. (It certainly was not published in the newspaper.) As soon as I can answer that question for you, I will. In the meantime, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Best, Bill Borders"

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
