The award for dumbest McClatchy cartoon of the day goes to...


... (drum roll)... the award for dumbest McClatchy cartoon of the day goes to Joel Pett from the Lexington Herald Leader for the above cartoon. Because if you say "You lie!" to Barack Obama, you are the equivalent of a Klansman or a segregationist.

Joel Pett is an idiot - always has been, always will be. Not only is he an idiot - he's arrogant as well.

I wonder why this cartoonist feels the need to bring up the past history of the Democrat party. The Klan was made of of Democrats and the only Klansman serving as a United States Senator is a Democrat. George Wallace was a Democrat.

Shame on him. Doesn't he know that Obama, Wright and Jones introduced a new era of racial harmony the same way Democrats always have.

The Klan was made up of Democrats (Dixiecrats) until most but not all jumped ship to the Republican party after civil rights legislation passed by Lyndon Johnson in the 1950s and into the 1960s. Anon 11am's attempt to paint the racist history of the United States as partisan and one sided is ignorant and stupid. There was plenty of racism to go around and that's still the case. The only word missing from Joe Wilson's comment was "boy" or "ni****r" because looking at Joe Wilson's history we all know that was his intention. I'm surprised he didn't let it slip which makes me think it was staged to appeal to the lowest base of the republican party. When repubs stage stunts like this its base salivates at the mouth like Pavlov's dog. Maybe one day both sides will wake up and realize the extent to which they are both manipulated.

12:25 is a perfect liberal. 100% certified. The exact type people who have brought us this country destroying administration of fools, tax cheats and white hating racists.

A Perfect Fool in a Perfect Storm.

Democrats were the ones who tried to block all of the civil rights legislation. Democrats are opportunistic racists now and have always been. You can not BS the troops anymore with your MSM view of reality. George Wallace and the Bubba's were all democrats. They never identified with the "rich country club" bankers that the racist, hateful George Wallace, Robert KKK Byrd (Democrat Senator) made them out to be.

Hey... is your ax handle union made? Lying scum sucking racist democrats... the legacy of a broken party.

Really???? You know what was in Joe Wilson's mind?

I have to admit that I still don't get why what Joe Wilson said was racist.
I understand why a democrat would be upset, just like republicans were upset when Democrats booed Bush at the State of The Union. Heck I even understand why an independent would think that Wilson was out of line in yelling during a speech by the president.
I just don't get the racist thing. Frankly, no on has helped me with it either. No one has been able to explain why these two words trigger that particular word or why I should believe them. We notice that Wilson is white and Obama is half black. Not sure that qualifies by itself.

What about Joe Wilson's history makes you able to read his mind? Or are you talking out of your hat again?

Not unless he is sitting on his hat.

Our troll doesn't wear a hat. He wears a tutu with tiara and has a gold grill.

Implying Joe Wilson has some mysterious history without any evidence is just slander.

I am a racist. Yes, a racist. I am white and I believe, after observing that, as a group, Asians are smarter than any other race.

That is what a racist is. A person who believes in the superiority of one race over another. I watched Asians at the University I attended and I have observed Asians in the work place.

Now that it is firmly established that my white ass is racist I also want to point out, from observation, that whites, as a group, are smarter than blacks.

That is not to say that there are not individual members of any of the racial groups that are either smarter or dumber than the average. I am only speaking of general averages.

Don't know what to tell you... it is just what I have observed and I think many have also observed the same. Just my old racist white ass a looking out the back door and calling it like I see it.

Now tell me.... who would you rather have for a surgeon, a White doc, an Asian doc, or a Black doc? Not knowing anything about any of them, which one would you guess was the smartest.
