A Canadian Cartoonist Was Fired For This Cartoon...

[MarcATL]

Do you think he should have been fired, or just more political correctness run amok?

Well Canada has blasphemy laws on the books so what do you expect?

I don't know about Canada but, in America he has the right of free speech. Personally I think the cartoon is stupid but, in America We The People decide. I'd be willing to bet this cartoon didn't make many media outlets.

I can't tell what's being depicted in the cartoon.

Half truth like normal, they forgot to add the Hallmark card sent by Democrats to South America .

To paraphrase a quote popularly misattributed to Voltaire, I disagree with and disapprove of that cartoon, but would defend to the death the cartoonist's right to publish it.

Freedom of expression isn't just for opinions that I find agreeable.

Well it includes a (presumably) dead body and Trump with a Golf cart and golf club so..............TDSers will automatically call Trump a 'killer'......Further exposing the Democrats as loonies.

That "cartoon" is an international outrage. And it was intended to be that way.

It's based on a photo that was in the news, recently, of a father and daughter who drowned in the Rio Grande during an attempt to illegally invade our nation.

I am guessing his termination had nothing to do with any perceived attack on President Trump or American immigration policy and everything to do with illustrating an image of dead brown people. I also wonder how far and wide you had to search for such a juicy but misleading chunk of bait. I think what you are after are gotcha worthy responses from conservatives who answer, "political correctness" so's you can in turn reply, "see everyone, conservatives worship at the PC altar as well." Sadly, if that's the case, you're just not very good at guilt by association traps and accusations of "everyone's doing it too" hypocrisy.

It looked like Bill Clinton's wall worked.

You must bring your battles to purple or red areas with corrupted police/corrections/judicial fiefdoms. They also have some people of your background in them. They control businesses by badmouthing others that do not agree with them. People are controlled! You must lead thousands into these areas and see if they will get violent against you. Their political class will be held accountable also. You hate the border wall and yet let prison walls hold your own. Open area prisons in these areas are your slavery centers. Tear them down. You will see nothing without bringing it to them. You call others pussies for not fighting back. Are you? Beating a person up with a couple of your own is not winning a damn thing. Go to the corruption! At the end of Obama's term you were actually going to fields where white guys/gals in trucks would have huge get togethers. Some had the confederate flag. But most put their windows up. It ended there. That is where it should have started! Stop destroying yur own areas. Go to them! Not downtown cities. To them!

Nope: I disagree with the sentiment but will defend the asshole's right to draw it with my dying breath.

btw: I assume they don't mind.

Ah thank you for explaining this.

So the reason that the cartoon is considered "offensive" is because

1. it's politicizing the deaths of two individuals or
   
2. it's politicizing the deaths of two individuals who were attempting to illegally enter the country or
   
3. it's portraying Trump as being so cold hearted and unconcerned for the lives of others that he only sees the deaths of these two individuals who were in fact attempting to circumvent our immigration laws, as nothing more than an impediment to his golf game or
4. it's Trump's opinion and/or those of his supporters that he is not supposed to be criticized, mocked, opposed, etc. no matter how accurately he is portrayed in this or any other media

Does that about cover it?

As tasteless as it is, I have to side with my conservative, patriotic ideology in saying that the left has the freedom to be bigots and idiots... but not when they are on the clock and being paid.

If you want to show the world what an anti American prick you are, you need to do it on your own time.

I would also defend the right of newspaper's management to fire the cartoonist because the cartoon does not meet the standards of the paper.

Blasphemy against the Magnificent President Trump?? Good point; sounds fair then. Maybe stone him is also an option....hmmm...nah; but an interesting thought.
