McClatchy cartoonist Joel Pett: Obama Care protesters are tools of the insurance industry

Above cartoon is by Joel Pett at the Lexington Herald Leader. Too bad the McClatchy cartoonists have no respect for opponents of Obama Care, the overwhelming majority of whom are decent people with good reasons to oppose the government's health care proposal.  To see the full series of McClatchy Tea Party cartoons, click here and keep scrolling.

Ironic that the Dem/Media complex repeatedly portrays Obama Care opponents as crazies, thugs, racists, and tools of the insurance industry -- then whines about the lack of civility in the health care debate.

Another Sacramento Bee cartoon slams town hall protesters

No surprise here: Bee cartoonist Rex Babin sides with Dem politicians and the SEIU, and is slamming private citizens exercising their free speech rights.

McClatchy cartoonist Joel Pett mocks Obama Care protesters

Yesterday I told you about the Sacramento Bee cartoonist who mocked citizens at town hall meetings by portraying them as clowns.

Turns out another McClatchy cartoonist -- Joel Pett at the Lexington Herald-Leader -- thinks citizens at the town halls are stupid.

Lovely. McClatchy is siding with the Democrats and SEIU against the taxpayers. And if you dare to speak out against the Obama administration, be prepared to become a McClatchy target.

Bee cartoon mocks citizens expressing opinions at town halls

Incredibly, today's Sacramento Bee cartoon mocks Americans attending town halls to voice their opinions about the pending health care legislation. (Link here.)

Apparently cartoonist Rex Babin doesn't like it when American citizens have the gall to question their elected representatives face-to-face.

You could argue the citizens showing up to speak out against Obama Care are the only ones speaking truth to power in the current health care debate. McClatchy certainly isn't. The media -- including McClatchy -- have sided with the Democratic party and SEIU instead of the taxpayers.

The disdain Rex Babin has for citizens expressing their opinion on Obama Care says everything you need to know about Babin and his employer.

McClatchy stopped speaking truth to power January 20, when its favored candidate became president. Once Obama became President, Babin and the Bee turned against anybody who speaks out against the Obama administration.  To see the full series of Tea Party cartoons, click here.

Truth to Power?

Pffffft.

McClatchy cartoonists skewer citizens at Tea Party protests, give a pass to politicians running up massive deficits

The Tea Party movement continues to reverberate across the country despite being sneered at by the media and mocked by vulgar leftists.

Consider how political cartoonists have treated the Tea Party protests this year.

McClatchy's cartoonists have either ignored the Tea Party protests, or portrayed the protesters as idiots.

A Kansas City Star cartoon by Lee Judge (below) portrays the protesters as hypocrites.


A Charlotte Observer cartoon by Kevin Siers (below) portrays the protesters as selfish buffoons.


A News & Observer cartoon by Dwane Powell (click here) makes the protesters out to be absurd Alice in Wonderland characters. A second Kevin Siers cartoon in the Charlotte Observer (click here) portrays the tax protests as a GOP movement.

Notice the common thread? The McClatchy cartoons skewer citizens, not the politicians running up sky-high deficits.

Some cartoonists, though, get it. Below is a cartoon by Matthew Silber -- a McClatchy Watch reader -- that was originally published in the Platte County Missouri Landmark.



Matthew Silber grasps that protests against high taxes and big government are quintessentially American.  McClatchy's cartoonists, by contrast, treat citizen protesters like freaks and outcasts.

McClatchy cartoonist says Tea Party protests aren't grassroots

This cartoon by Kevin Siers is another attempt to marginalize the Tea Party movement.  McClatchy has aligned itself with the Democrats and the SEIU and against the taxpayers.  Click here to see the full series of Tea Party cartoons.
