MSM Banned Boondocks Comic Strip Today--------
Several papers would not print the Boondocks strip today.

More MSM censorship, anything negative about Bush. The Chicago Trib was one and Detroit along with several others.

11. Oh no, we can't have that!
We draw the line for that type of funny. We must never mention Bush and coke together. Scaredy cats!

Unquestionably one of the best, along with Tom Tomorrow and a few others.

43. True, but the MSM complicity in the fabrication of Bush legend needs to be
noted, documented, and amplified for all to hear.

21. At least your papers CARRY the strip.
Cleveland's Plain Dealer, home to one of the nation's biggest urban communities with rich cultural histories, STILL won't pick this strip up. No surprise there, as it's run by total reichwing nutswinger Alex Machaskee. Because of that tool, the PD didn't endorse a candidate last election.

Guess they don't want to offend the suburban housefraus whose NASCAR husbands forced them to vote for Lancelot Link.

28. Kick... one of the funniest Boondocks ever


It's a rather important issue that this strip was spiked by many newspapers. I practically fell out of my chair when I first saw it, and am surprised that any papers ran it at all.

Kudos to those who did.

Sort of like Kerry's outing of Cheney's daughter

It may be true but how dare we speak about it

33. Print it out and stick it between the pages of the newspapers
All you have to do is put $0.50 in the newspaper box, and then stick copies of the strip inside each paper in the machine.

You can do this every day for as long as you see fit.
