Numbskulls on both sides of the Liberal/Conservative issue, Republican and Democrat Ticket. Neither side has a patent on them.

The right to be a fool, and express that foolishness is supposed to be cherished and protected. Someone is an idiot, tell them so. Simple as that, and you can also refuse to have anything further to do with them.

That's not censorship, it's your right.report abuse

Propagandistic images that vilify "the other" are nothing new and are not limited to commentary on race.

There's nothing special about this race or the candidates' racial background.

Politcal cartoons - even if distasteful to you personally - are free speech - and that's more important than not offending people.report abuse
