Another Cartoon - Same Controversy

It has been three years since my last post. But certain things remain the same in the world. This time the cartoon is ostensibly about the economic stimulus plan, but makes, somewhat slyly, a racist jibe at the President. The publishers of the cartoons once again try to take cover under the veneer of the First Amendment. Public opinion is again distracted by the purported suppression of rights.It's all a familiar story.

It maybe impossible to ban such crude, offensive humor by law. But hopefully public outrage discourages further such misadventures.
