McCoy's Sickening Cartoon

After reading today's Belleville News Democrat, it is clear where Glenn and, by virtue of the fact that they pay him (although I am sure it can't be that much), the Belleville News Democrats stands when it comes to their opinion of what Democrats in this country represent. McCoy and the BND did a cartoon that depicted a depressed donkey - representing a Democrat, sad that he could not raise money for the "terrorist legal defense fund" while sitting in front of the demolished World Trade Center. The right wing windbags in this country have finally resorted to claiming that the Democrats and the terrorist are actually one in the same. There could be nothing more offensive, and nothing further from the truth. McCoy and the rest of the right wing hacks that he parrots are reaching the bottom of the barrel in their attempt to demonize the Democrats. I refuse to lower my level of political discourse to such a sewer. And I refuse to repost his disgusting cartoon. Just try and recognize what the political right is doing here - they are trying to make Democrats and terrorists one and the same - so maybe they can just outlaw all political dissent, or maybe even the party itself - after all, they are terrorist lovers right?? Well, Democrats are not terrorists lovers. Most thinking, reasoning people realize this (apparently McCoy does not fall in that category). Democrats are your sons, your daughters, your neighbors, your co-workers. They support the military, they support the troops, they pay taxes, build buildings, go to church and teach your children. They are not terrorists and they don't support any kind of terrorism. The fact that this kind of accusation is even thrown around, and on the 5 year anniversary of September 11 no less, is a clear indication that the political right in this country has no limits on the depth to which they will sink to try to stay in office.

You can go see McCoy's sickening cartoon here - try not to vomit on your computer.
