These Doonesbury panels where from March 12-17, 2012
Some papers including Oregonian and Fort Worth Star Telegram, decided not to run the these, while other papers moved them to the op-ed page.

Check out this ad from American Crossroads, a Karl Rove-led super PAC:
I support everyone's right to do whatever they want, including smoking, as long as they're not violating others in the process. Those of you who imagine that your right to smoke includes the "right" to impose your toxic smoke on others in public places, thus taking away their right to decide for themselves whether to smoke, needn't go far to see fascism; just look in a mirror.
It's interesting to see that Liz, who is very concerned about people's right not to have supposedly toxic smart meters imposed on them, is apparently less concerned about more serious toxins such as tobacco smoke.

Dixon, to me this means simply, Fascism is more toxic than smoking. Which is pretty darn toxic.Quote:

Oh, thanks for the clarification. I didn't mean to attribute to you a position that isn't yours.Quote:

But surely the intended implication of the original joke was that people who wish to restrict smoking are fascist. This is an attitude I've seen among many inconsiderate smokers, who sometimes call those of us who insist upon our right not to be exposed to their smoke "smoke Nazis". That's what I was responding to.

Austerity & Neo-Nazis, oh my!
Now I am really puzzled. Every day I see posts from you in my Digest trumpeting Ron Paul and the Libertarian cause. Do not Libertarians believe in a much reduced government role (i.e. reduced government spending)? Yet this cartoon shows clearly the results of such policies! Are you not undercutting your own professed views?

Nay, nay. When you say reduced government spending you think social programs. When I think it, it means cutting back our military empire building, and idiotic wasteful useless government agencies such as the Department of the Interior, and hey, the IRS, which will free up much needed money for infrastructure, social programs, and the economic prosperity of the people. The debt load of this empire building alone, is making everyone have to scramble exponentially like gerbils just to barely keep their standard of living (or lose it) through inflation of the dollar.Quote:

I have heard from several sources that he wasnt "celibate in college... dont know if its true though and of course that wouldnt matter to me.. I turn my back on him for other and rapidly becoming even more well known reasons. I just keep doing what I can to open eyes... I will say this.. "politics makes strange bedfellows" is not only amusing to say but is also true literally.. or is the amusing way literal and the other way just scary? in any case I am dipping my toes in the water and the water looks awfully dark and dangerous out there..
WAKE UP AMERICA AND VOTE RON PAUL 2012
did anyone else hear that texas had the vote count turned around and Ron Paul came out way ahead?
Success Story, indeed!
Why aren't the Dems labeling the Republicans as the Party of Austerity yet??

arrrg I just woke up from a two hour nap so nothing makes much sense to me O.o and the first email I opened was one asking if I.. as a member of that particular group thought they should be in support of obama. O.o:wtf:
ok I'm more awake and a little less in shock and some these cartoons are down right hilarious lol can send them to myself at work?
Again I ask each and every one of you to put aside any preconceived ideas and go to you tube to watch the candidates debate and discuss issues. you have to go there because of the pretty much complete media blackout
I'm not going to mention a potential name here because after spending some thoughtful time watching and comparing I know you will be able to pick out which man is the best one for our COUNTRY at this time, maybe not the one best for a special group, maybe not the one with the best or worst photo shoot, maybe not the one who is best for women or for men or for kids or for teenagers or anyone inbetween, but the best one for the whole UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
AMERICA WAKE UP 2012.. well I've been saying that for months now and posting it everywhere I can think of and it looks like its done some good and I'll keep at it.... I just hope it wll be enough.. I'm not old enough to feel like I have no future..
sincerely.. Garnet
:wtf:, I went to the YouTube and searched for "AMERICA WAKE UP 2012", and got mostly Ron Paul propaganda but no video with any title with the word "debate" in it, just Ron Paul and others critical of Obama.:hmmm:
I don't know if it is the organization you were referring to but so far it looks like MoveOn.org will be endorsing Obama 2012.https://www.emoticonsfree.org/wp-con...olleye0012.gif... ...Over 90% out of a 2/3 majority necessary of voting members just a while ago.
BTW Me thinks that a RP style Free Market Economy in the present environment would = ~
Maybe RP will get enough votes for gvt funds next time in 2016 but he would most likely not except the funds anyway so I don't see the point. He won't get very many if any electoral votes in 2012; certainly not enough to "win".

Well.. Like i've said and like i've been saying and like i will keep on saying.. Wake up america!! Open your eyes!! Your country is being stolen and gutted by people in high places and those who have sworn to protect you.
This is not about political parties which separate us by petty differences or whether you like cilantro or i think it tastes like soap. This is about the chance to save our country for the next four years..
That's me.. That's you.. That's the people down the road and across the country with all the kids in other places who deserve to live lives without threats and fear. They deserve the future and their own shot at integrity and keeping america free.. ..
I can't believe that all good things could come to this...
Sleep well, garnet
I know the feeling all too well. You know; the attempts made to give the wake-up calls and all that.
It is :frustration:frustrating at times and can be :angry1:infuriating at times too.
I have learned to be more tolerant of the realities of the differing time it takes for other people to see the things I have seen and even some times that I predicted; (that took many years and I am still learning "to be more patent,[I hope]:waccosun:).
Then even far more irritating is the time lag it usually takes for enough to take to action that has any positive effect for the necessary changes it will take for the young to have even the same chance as my generation had, never mind (the) "better" chance for them, or what is in store in the future for the elderly, weak, and feeble.
FWIW, I also noticed that some do better when they have had enough "sleep".:wink:

Any YouTube links to an actual debate between presidential candidates from more than one party from the 2012 election cycle or at least a specific debate, names, date/s, place where the debate occurred, etc so someone could do a search from would be appreciated.
Otherwise I won't bother searching YouTube at this point because I don't know of any that have taken place between candidates of differing parties as of yet.:dunno:
