(They have to be virtual, unless I can get help from someone who can draw.)
Obama, looking much like Lucy in Peanuts, is holding a football labeled "tax cuts". Joe Voter, looking much like Charlie Brown, is getting ready to kick the football.
And we all know what happens next, even though Charlie Brown never figured it out.

Posted by: swatter on October 23, 2008 03:31 PMIt's been debunked you misogynistic little... lazy whiner and marxist supporter.
Gee, that is fun.
(Edited for taste - jrm.
By the way, as I mentioned at my own site, I think "Marxisant" is a better adjective for Obama than "Marxist".)
Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on October 23, 2008 03:39 PMHow about a toon where real life meets fiction. Like A drunken Joe Biden singing "the villages" (which happened) ala the court jester entertaining the inhabitants of Hillaryville while Hill-Rod is signing her first book in the background for all the natives before taking off in her Gulf steam V to where she,her royal thighness, will be staying. eh, it's a visual.

It's awfully hard to be misogynistic if you're a woman but perhaps it's akin to Palin saying she's a feminist.
Funny, when Palin was joined on-stage by five prominent feminists I think you can say she has the backing of at least some feminists.
Note she was joined by two feminists DNC platform committee, two NOW chapter member leaders (State of Oregon and the leader of the Los Angeles NOW chapter) and of course long-time Democrat activist Lynn Rothschild.

but perhaps it's akin to Palin saying she's a feminist.
Sadly, those womens studies classes you seemed to have specialized in failed to mention the original intentions of the true feminist agenda.
Look it up.
You might even be shocked to learn the early feminists abhorred your beloved 'feminist' litmus test, abortion.
Alice Paul (author of the original ERA) - "Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women."
Elizabeth Cady Stanton (early suffragist leader) - "When we consider that women have been treated as property it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit."
Simone de Beauvoir (prominent feminist author) - "The woman who has recourse to abortion disowns feminist values..."
Despite the large monetary loss involved, The Revolution, the suffragist paper put out by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, refused to run ads for abortifacients. Victoria Woodhull and Tennessee Clafin, the free-love advocates, held the same policy in their weekly newspaper. They also ran ads exposing lucrative, male-run abortion practices in New York City.
Susan B. Anthony referred to abortion as "child-murder" and Elizabeth Cady Stanton classed it with the killing of a newborn under the single term "infanticide." Woodhull and Clafin's weekly asserted that "the rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the foetus."
As Elizabeth Cady Stanton phrased it, the practice of abortion was one more result of the "degradation of women." Feminists then looked forward to abortion's elimination rather than its adoption.
Ezra Haywood, an outspoken sexual radical in the 1880's, wrote that "this murderous practice is unworthy of Free Lovers." Eliza Duffy characterized abortion as "murder."
Adrienne Rich: "Abortion is violence: a deep desperate violence inflicted upon women..."
Germaine Greer: "It is typical of the contradictions that break women's hearts that when they avail themselves of their fragile right to abortion, they often, even usually, went with grief and humiliation to carry out a painful duty that was presented to them as a privilege. Abortion is the latest in a long-line of non-choices..."
Victoria Woodhull said in 1875: "Every woman knows that if she were truly free, she would never think of murdering a child before its birth."
Elizabeth Cady Stanton declared in 1868 that the remedy for the "crying evil" of abortion was "the complete enfranchisement and elevation of women."
No sweetcheeks, you may call yourself a feminist, but you are perpetrating a case of massive self-deception.
We know who the feminists are and they most assuredly are not you angry, unfulfilled women whose goal is the "right" to kill unborn children and thereby violating every single tenant of womanhood. Killing your children won't make you equal. It's a pity, whether purposefully or by your own ignorance, you have narrowed the definition of your own life, and pity you I do.
And yes, sweetcheeks, as woman, as a mother of three, I can and WILL say that.
So you can Wickipedia feminist all you want; I'm not impressed.

Go there often?
What YOU phony "feminists" stand for.
How proud you must be.
