Comics and Politics

read the comics in the newspaper for distraction and diversion. I don't need more liberal politics, but I get it anyway. And most of what I get is trash. Doonesbury started it, and once was asked why he lied in his strip to make a political point, to which he answered, "This is a comic strip. I don't have to be accurate." Apparently the "Rudy Park" creators don't feel they have to be accurate, either. They have a new little feature called, "The Little Litterbox o' Hypocrisy," which is well named because what they put out is the same thing monkeys put in litterboxes (if they use them). They killed off the character that went around shouting stupid liberalities, so then a monkey started doing it (more appropriate). In the May 18 strip, the monkey is talking about Rev. Jerry Falwell saying that "Segregation between blacks and whites is God's will" (Which never happened. I defy him to prove Falwell ever said anything of the kind.). He uses this lie to set up the punch line, which is, "The same Jerry Falwell that regularly met privately with Presidents Reagan, Bush, Ford and Nixon. He wants to equate this with Rev. Jeremiah Wright being Obama's preacher for 20 years, marrying Obama and his wife, and even baptizing his children. He says, "Vicious Republican talk-show hosts have the audacity to condemn Barack Obama for his connection to Jeremiah Wright. I don't think Falwell ever stood before a congregation and screamed "God DAMN America!" And a few private meetings don't equal 20 YEARS of attending a church run by such a screaming racist as Wright. (Just common sense)
