stop posting every bloody cartoon

12.11.2007 13:58

even if this muppet was any good, you don't need to post his fucking cartoons every time he does one!

The man must have a website, if we want to see them, we will go there.

This is not news in any way.

who is with me on this?

anarchist communist


Not me

I quite like Latuff's cartoons, and news is more then text at the end of the day, so I vote for leaving them up.

fan


leave the cartoonist alone

12.11.2007 15:11


He's the only one IMC UK seem to have and in my view hes pretty damn good

reader


- no he's not.

12.11.2007 17:59

Fine, i'll accept a difference of opinion in whether he is any good - but how is he the cartoonist for IMC UK?

He lives on the other side of the world, and furthermore the stucture of IMC means anyone can contribute - you post your own news. Therefore he is no more a part of IMC as any one of us posting.

If he is submitting his own work, fine, but i assume someone else is - why? It is not news, and it is not newsworthy.

Can You Address the Message?

"Fine, i'll accept a difference of opinion in whether he is any good"

Why would you say he isn't? He makes great pieces.

His work and its message are very relevant to IMC.

You just don't like it because of what it says.

lutaff is crap

12.11.2007 20:17

the problem with lutuff is that his pictures over simplify very complex and hard to answer questions, they make everything black and white in the wars in the middle east as well as the occupation when quite clearly not all Palestinians are good and not all Israelis are bad, im sure thats not what he means or believes but his pictures portray this clear cut message with no room for movement, much like the dogma shoved down our throats from the stwc and the swp, surley as anarchists we know that not just one rule or idea is the way forward and it is our regection of sweeping statements which gives us the edge. lutuffs pictures are relevant and quite good, but they are just broad generalisations which i dont believe help the situation in anyway and offer no alternatives or solutions.

A.C. considered ...

anarchist communist don't click on the newswire link if you don't want to see Latuff.

Personally, I like his stuff and have saved a number of his art pieces which are apt, succinct and decisive. It is true that I'd like to see more cartoons posted because artwork can iconically capture the zeitgeist without getting too lost in the quagmire of language that the message itself is obscured.

I'd say, keep 'em coming ... although I'd like to see a fuller range.

Always assumed he was posting his own work

I like to see his work, but I have e-mailed him to say that he sometimes seems to step over the boundary between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.

The hidden hand in action
The hidden hand in action

... calls for banning/removal ...

... based on personal preference ... " I don't like him; he's no good "

... yeah yeah ... it ain't pretty enough for yer, so stop everyone else seeing it ... nice move mr spook ... you ain't no anarchist

... the coup de grace off course being the tired and emotional (drunk on perceptions of their failing power structures) call of the spook zionist: "anti-semite, anti-semite" like some feverish ghoul in its death throws ...


PATHETIC ... but strangely amusing non-the-less.

no you fucking retards

13.11.2007 19:50

where have i called for his cartoons to be banned - where have i said i disagree with the message?!

I think his cartoons are shit. They are simplistic, uninteligent and uniluminating. A decent cartoon makes you think or crystalises a certain situation into one frame.

For this opinion you are suggesting i am some kind of american backed zionist.

You utter fucking retards.

This illustrates exactly my problem with latuffs shitty work, he inspires morons like you to devolve politics into the most base and crass assumptions. For what it is worth i have been to palestine and have been active in the palestinian struggle, and have much experience of actual Zionist press tactics.

And you know what? They lap up shit like latuff as evidence that left support for palestinian freedom is motivated by ignorance of the issue.

Now fuck off back to marching around with you're 'we are all hamas' placards you cretins.

anarchist communist


Wattja expect?

13.11.2007 20:08

from someone who feels they have to compensate for their foibles by calling themselves "anarchist communist " - the very description that they are probably the least in practice?

Over-compensation: the flaccid 50-year old with penis inferiority who buys a Corvette to compensate for his lack.

"They lap up shit like latuff as evidence that left support for palestinian freedom is motivated by ignorance of the issue."

No they don't. They hold Knesset meetings on how to keep his message from reaching people.

he he he!

"fucking retards"
"morons"
"cretins"

... yeah. This one fits the psychological profile of spook plant/crypto-zionist.

Been to middle england perhaps, not the middle east.

Try harder.

Sure "They" Needed The "Development"

22.12.2007 01:59

One of the best Latuff's cartoons. Sure "they" needed the pretext to steal as much crude oil as possible. The Middle East "Indians" were merely "goyim", same as Kazakhs and Uzbecks during murderous Lenin-Trotsky campains in the Middle Asia after the October 1917 putch in Russia. American democracy is in need of "terrorists" as much as Soviet red Fascism was in the need of "bourgoisie".
