Anti-Bush Cartoon Gets Spiked

Dennis Draughon is a cartoonist for the Scranton Times and Tribune in Pennsylvania.

After Bush gave his infamous "Bring 'Em On" statement in July, Draughon drew a cartoon with Bush at the podium saying those words, while in front of the podium were four caskets draped in American flags and a sign saying, "U.S. Casualties in Iraq."

The cartoon never ran.

"That's not going to fly," Pat McKenna, associate editor of the paper, told Draughon, according to the cartoonist.

1. what absolute horseshite!!

That cartoon is exactly what should be printed every day..better then that, the body bags and flag draped coffins should be all over the news daily..
The outrage will not occur until the truth is out to the US public...and they have their heads in the sand thanks to media censorship.

3. Simple question

Is it possible that Communism could have reigned terror here on the lands of the United States of McCarthy didn't "try" to identify them all?

4. I don't believe so! There were ppl who like the idea of communism...

the idea of all being equal! Only thing communism although sounding good theorectically on paper just doesn't work very well! Americans would have never stood for it!
