Someone posted this from the newspaper today. We really need to fix Ron Pauls image because of the stormfront crap. http://sabretooth.mirror.waffleimages.com/files/3f/3fb7b3373e294fb4c97debc5563417c36781deed.png

I would think that's photoshopped.

That is deeply offensive.

Anyone with half a brain would think it's silly how the media is attacking Paul's supporters because they can't find any dirt on the man himself because he's just too goddamn honest and a good person.

Sadly, as usual, and as I've said before - Americans are stupid.

BTW, is this offensive? I saw this in the newspaper half a year ago. Remember, it's alright to be racist as long as it's towards white people.

The cartoon is Mallard Filmore, still would think it's fake until proven otherwise.

That is dated 1-29. It has to be a photoshop, please get rid of it.

looks photoshopped. I doubt the PC funnys would let the word 'negro' get out.

Get used to it. The socialist parasites are not going to give up their meal ticket gently. If Paul does well in the early primaries, we're going to see stuff 10,000 times worse than this cartoon.

"Draft Walter Williams" '08 campaign

In a series of strips beginning January 29, 2007, Mallard mounted a campaign to draft Walter E. Williams, a syndicated columnist and professor of economics at George Mason University, as the 2008 Republican presidential candidate.

From wiki, I doubt he would be anti Ron Paul.

Mallard Fillmore is produced by the Jewish World Review, (http://www.jewishworldreview.com) so if there was a cartoon accusing Ron Paul of being racist because of the whole stormfront thing, that would definitely be the one.

I actually like some of the things Aaron McGruder comes up with such as the animated The Boondocks episode "Return of the King" (as in MLK). He points out hypocrisy from both sides.

No it isn't. It is syndicated by King Features Syndicate. They have been criticized for being anti-Semitic.

Please don't spread misinformation.

Also, it's dated 1-29, so it's fake.

Mallard Fillmore is syndicated by King Features, which syndicates a whole bunch of strips. Some can be found here:

Mallard Fillmore first hatched from the pen of Bruce Tinsley at The Daily Progress in Charlottesville, Va. Today, the celebrated comic strip about Tinsley's conservative reporter-duck fills the bill in nearly 400 newspapers nationwide.

Distributed by King Features Syndicate since 1994, readers of newspapers across the country enjoy the duck's right-wing viewpoint.

Tinsley created Mallard for what he saw as the conservative underdog. The strip is for "the average person out there: the forgotten American taxpayer who's sick of the liberal media and cultural establishments that act like he or she doesn't exist," he says.

"Mallard" almost did not see the light of day. When asked to come up with a mascot for The Daily Progress entertainment section, artist Tinsley showed editors three ideas: a blue hippopotamus; a big nose in tuxedo and cane; and a duck.

Tinsley says the hippo went unused for fear of offending overweight people, and the nose was axed because it would "offend people of Jewish and Mediterranean descent, not to mention Arabs and anyone else with a big nose." Tinsley says he thought his editors were kidding, but they were not.

Once Mallard Fillmore was off and running, his editors requested Tinsley tone down its conservative bias. When he refused, he was fired.

The strip caught the attention of The Washington Times, which used Tinsley's wise-quacking journalist in the commentary section before moving the strip to the comics pages. The rest, as they say, is history.

I sent the cartoonist an email expressing how distasteful this was. How about the rest of you?

I sent the cartoonist an email expressing how distasteful this was. How about the rest of you?I doublechecked the facts before jumping to conclusions.

It was faked, probably to incite an emotional pro-Ron Paul response against someone who doesn't deserve it. I do think an apology would be in order if you ever get a reply.
