Some local rag in Ohio prints a cartoon you don't like? Tough shit! Hardly "the US media in full swing".

It's only a fucking cartoon, for God's sake! Grow up and get a life.

Fascism On The Rise

The signs of US/Israeli Fascism are becoming unmistakable too.

Gone are the says of them claiming this is not a "war on islam", and now, their radical Fringe, the only support they have left, openly display and disseminate their bigotry, validating everything the Social Justice Movement, AntiWar Movement, and concerned citizens the world over have been saying, doing, and building during these dark times.

It's time to take action against these Extremists.

To the streets ... ?

Down With Neo-Fascism

An insignificant local rag

An obscure local paper in Ohio publishes a cartoon you don't like. Hardly "the US Media in full swing" or "Fascism on the rise", is it?

Why don't people make the same fuss about Iranian death squads ethnically cleansing Iraqi's and campaign against the interference of the Iranian Republican Guard inside of Iraq.

Good cartoon

Well, that's exactly what this cartoon is doing, making a "fuss" about the malevolent meddling of the Revolutionary Guards throughout the Middle East, in Iraq, but also with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, with the Assad regime etc. etc.

"The US media is in full swing to incite a war against Iran", its a cartoon in an independant Ohio newspaper, its hardly Fox news screaming 'Death to Iran!' now is it?

"The signs just keep showing up."

It isn't claiming that this is THE media in full swing - its claiming that its ONE example - it is of course, incredibly racist propaganda.

"its a cartoon in an independant Ohio newspaper"

It's a syndicated by a Pulitzer prize winning cartoonist that appears in over 400 US newspapers. So in cartoonists terms, it is indeed Fox News. And it is far from an isolated incident:

Cartoons aid US lynch mob mentality

And the way you know they are in the wrong, look at the explictly dishonest denial issued by the Ohio newspaper to a more progressive newspaper.

The publisher claims it is okay since :
> the drain cover depicted in the cartoon is clearly labeled with “Iran” and “extremism”

Yet that is plainly a lie. This is clear state fascism that the Nazis would be proud of.
