What exactly is the message? I don't see a connection.

...It's a joke, son...y'know what a joke is, don't you?

Simple

by Simple Simon Saturday, Oct. 19, 2002 at 4:00 PM

What exactly is funny? Do you get a laugh over the artist's presentation of the President as the sniper? What's funny about a sniper? What's funny about defamation of character?

Everything!

by Simple Simon Saturday, Oct. 19, 2002 at 8:48 PM

Well, not to be one without something hilarious to point out:

Jimmy Carter wins Nobel Peace Prize.

Now, that's funny.

Yes...that was a hoot...

it's funny, your capitalization of things Simple Simon.

the PPPPPPPPPresident. you hold him in high esteem, huh?

ha.

Well, yes I do. I am also a stickler for grammar. What's it to you?

...well they have something in common, don't they...

...they are both simple..ooops.. I mean Simple....

connection?

by Cammi Thursday, Oct. 24, 2002 at 12:13 AM

I do not see the connection between George Bush and the sniper either. Political cartoons are supposed to be funny, but more importantly they are supposed to have a message that makes sense.

..just 'cause you don't get it doesn't mean it ain't funny...

...just because you don't get the point doesn't mean there ain't one...

Pray, expound on the humor that you seem to get, which escapes some of us. It isn't polite to keep a joke to yourself.

...now THAT'S funny!

Alright, I'll give you that one.

Simple

by Simple Simon Friday, Oct. 25, 2002 at 1:49 PM

Hey, they just arrested a converted muslim and his Jamaican stepson as the possible snipers. Guess the President is off the hook. Maybe our Brazilian friend can draw us a little picture of muslim extremists sniping American citizens for sport. Won't that be funny?

OneEyedMan

by KPC Friday, Oct. 25, 2002 at 4:46 PM

...'cause, goodness knows, American's would never snipe other Americans just for fun...goodness knows THAT never happens...does it?

....goodness knows...

Simple

by Simple Simon Friday, Oct. 25, 2002 at 7:26 PM

You'd be hard pressed to find a sniper in this country since the early 1970's. I'll bet you can't. But here's another angry moslem retard shooting people in the same week that bunches of other angry moslem retards are holding 700 people hostage in Moscow. But blame America first, KPC. Yeah, the government, man, it' s behind everything.

moslom?

by ======== Friday, Oct. 25, 2002 at 8:51 PM

who are you talking about?

you sound really stupid, sorry.

retards?

by what's wrong with you? Friday, Oct. 25, 2002 at 9:02 PM

why do you use a word like retard?

you are obviously simple to be using words most 10 year olds know better than to use.

watch out, Simple Simon, you're slowly showing your racist, sexist, messed-up self.

OneEyedMan

by KPC Friday, Oct. 25, 2002 at 9:04 PM

...the guy they caught is as American as you are, asshole...

...except he's black, which may be a outside qualifier for pinheads like yourself...

Simple

by Simple Simon Saturday, Oct. 26, 2002 at 1:07 PM

Setting them up and knocking them down.

Here we go.

Pinhead #1: No name; Moslem, as I wrote, is a perfectly acceptable variant of the word Muslim. If you have a problem with English there are tutors available. Oh, and you spelled the word Moslom. Perhaps you should spend some time paying attention in class.

Pinhead #2: What’s wrong with you?: My how well you’ve been housebroken. The commissars have definitely done their job on you. Are you afraid of words? Are you afraid of descriptions? It must be difficult to live in your world, fearing to describe anything or anyone for fear of giving offence. And how hilarious that the moment you see a word like retard you run about screaming racism and sexism and don’t stop for a minute to consider whether there is any evidence of such. How exactly does the utterance of retard denote racism? Or sexism? I think you might be a retard.

Pinhead #3: The inevitable Mr. KPC. Oh, my. Profanity. Your strong suit. Funny isn’t it that instead of our President it turns out to be a radical black Islamist who is going around shooting people? Where’s your cartoon now? Where’s the wonderful Mr. Latuff with his oils? As far as your assertion that the retard in question is American, yes, by birth this creature is an American citizen. It will come out in trial what his motivation was in his crime spree. Should it be a desire to seek the violent overthrow of the government, then he is a traitor and should be hanged. Much like Mr. Walker-Lindh. If it was murder in hopes of enriching himself, then he should be electrocuted or given a lethal injection.

Ah, the inevitable charge of racism. How trite. I await your demand that our hero not be given the death penalty because it’s racist. Yes, I’m sure you’re already identifying with poor put-upon Mr. Williams and his plight. The racist government made him do it. He grew up in a milieu of institutional racism. It’s not his fault. He was merely lashing out at a corrupt system that was keeping him down. Another devotee of Islam, religion of peace. It’s so easy to be a Leftist. Smoke dope, don’t think, it’s the government’s fault.

Simple, my man, I almost fell on the floor you had me laughin so hard...! I especially like the part about tryin' to violently overthrow the governement...one lucky shopper at a time!

....maybe we should hang 'em, electrocute him AND give him a leathal injections...

...for being a traitor...not a psycopathic killer....

...and yes it IS trite to hear racist comments from idiots like you...



...too much dude, too too much

Glad to provide you with mirth, good sir.

afraid of words? of descriptions? where is that coming from? just trying to throw anything my way, huh?

fearing to decribe anything or anyone? i just called you RACIST and SEXIST and you are, Simple Simon. what are you talking about?

Simple

by Simple Simon Monday, Oct. 28, 2002 at 1:56 AM

1. Describing the sniper pair as a muslim extremist and a Jamaican isn't racist, it is accurate description.

2. I wanna see hot chicks means I wanna see hot chicks. This means I really really like em.

3. So piss off.

..........

by ........... Monday, Oct. 28, 2002 at 2:01 AM

The sniper pair were programmed MKULTRA sleeper agents a la Manchurian Candidate. Cue to turn them off was the phrase "We have caught the sniper like a duck in a noose" after which they were found sleeping and taken with no resistance. HMMMMMM.
