    "In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

      This sure doesn't have any negative stereotypes.

        Negro?

        AFAIK brown sugar just means a good-looking black woman.

          This is probably the most offensive cartoon of this thread.

            Who needs more proof that Bush is a liar?

                To be fair, she was quite good looking a few years ago

                  I would think that Liberals should applaud the fact that an African-American woman acheived a great education and has risen to the top to become Secretary of State. Instead, we get cartoons from prominent left cartoonists depicting her as ignorant, a puppet of Bush, and good for nothing but staying home and having babies.
                  Because we liberals are so simple minded that since she is black, we have to applaud her?

                    I know I'm offended.

                    I'm offended by a lot of crap I see thrown about the people who re-elected Bush, and I'm tired of it.

                    I guess that's why I don't post that much anymore.
                    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                      Agreed.

                      I disagree with the politics of the pro-Bush, and there is probably some truth that Bush is vastly overrepresented among the conservative and self-catering rural people.

                      But these people are far from being the only ones who voted for Bush. And the extreme negative stereotypes we see about them is really wrong IMHO. These stereotypes attack probably the weakest of Bush's voters (which is wrong in itself), and they also insult about one half of Americans who voted for Bush.

                          I don't give a damn about Rice being African-american. When it comes to the neocons, I am an equal oppertunity hater.

                            A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
