lol @ #7
Cause the only people who "want to stop" terrorism are the kind of people who make these cartoons...
Bigots are
called bigots when
they act like bigots, has nothing to do with who does or who doesn't "want to stop" terrorism.
I take it for granted thats like like 99% of everybody, including the worst partisan democrats and the most horrible partisan republicans.
Its just there's a lot of people who, thinking they are "trying to stop" terrorism when they really aren't.
Like -
saying three magic words won't stop terrorism.
Drone wars won't stop terrorism.
Killing Bin Laden, otherwise known as "chopping the head off the snake",
won't either.
I'm sure the silly, naive, head-in-the-sand liberals targeted by the cartoon won't stop terrorism by changing their facebook picture to whatever is supposed to commemorate the latest attack.
But a lot of people genuinely want to stop terrorism and suggested those things. Its just partisan battling to pretend the other side is cool with dead bodies - problem is people have a series of delusions and rationalizations that protect them from understanding how their ideas don't work, or lead to more problems, or fail to protect people or just cause more death and revenge cycles.
Most war proponents, for example, believe in the nobility and necessity of "the mission" - they are not craving that the blood of innocents be spilled by an occupation and invasion of a sovereign country, even if that will happen during the course of "the mission". They find ways to inure themselves from seeing those consequences or really feeling them.
Yknow, like the crazy people hounding grieving parents in Sandy Hook and accusing them of being actors with fake kids who never died - they see themselves as really blowing the lid off a series of horrible lies used to hurt the american people. They're not REALLY into hounding grieving parents, even if thats exactly what they're doing.
So the cartoon goes a bit far in suggesting that silly liberals who change their facebook pictures after an attack and call non-bigots, just trying to save america, bigots - that these silly libtards don't want to stop terrorism, like the cartoon author does. Of course they do - of course we all do!
