THUNDERDOME LOSER 2020
In a fit of masochism, I checked the Day by Day website and saw that Muir has closed comments on his comics. My guess is that he's getting too much criticism of his world views - it was only about a week ago that he had one of the characters talk about wanting to kill the President, after all - and decided it would be easier to shut down debate altogether than have to screen the comments for anything other than unadulterated praise.

Muir, if you ever read this, let me put it in terms you can understand and respect*: What are you, a pussy? You're scared of a few harsh words? "Oh boohoo, the Internet mans were mean to me, I need to nestle into my pink princess pillow fort and bawl my poor wittle eyes out." If you can't take criticism, you don't deserve to be called a man.

*I hate misogyny-based insults as much as the next DnD poster, but Muir cares so much about being a big Manly Man that I figure this will hit him where it hurts.

It's far more likely that he hosed up something with his site rather than intentionally closed comments. Granted, most "controversial" Youtube videos have comments and ratings disabled for the reasons you describe.

But, really, a guy living in a dilapidated trailer existing on donations from other insane people-- you think he cares about criticism?

Conservatives are up in arms about this, as they have been for decades, but for all the wrong reasons of course.

The horrible thing about this right now is that a more conservative alignment of the House and Senate could allow the conservative right to scuttle the nuclear talks altogether by passing more sanctions*. If that were to happen, and Iran went back on the parts of the deal they've already accepted and implemented, Bibi has gone on record that Israel will launch preemptive strikes without consulting the US to prevent the creation of a nuclear weapon. This would almost assuredly draw the US into another military incursion in the ME, especially if it happens a few years down the road and we have a republican president.

*They would need a strong enough majority to bypass a presidential veto, and I don't know if they're likely to get that this year.

Where does this idea that Obama thinks he's a king and better than you come from? Is it literally just because he's black and a democrat?

Bringing you Barry from the sordid depths of the Internet
Chickenshit Name-Calling

According to the Guardian:
Binyamin Netanyahu 'chickenshit', say US officials in explosive interview
"US relations with Israel have plunged to new depths of bitterness and hostility as senior officials in the Obama administration decried Binyamin Netanyahu as a “chickenshit prime minister”, “coward” and a man more interested in his own political survival than peace.
The furious assessment delivered in anonymous but no-holds barred comments in an interview with the American journalist Jeffrey Goldberg in the Atlantic underline a state of anger with Netanyahu that is characterised as “red hot”.
The remarks are particularly telling in having been made to Goldberg, a Washington insider who has interviewed both Obama and Netanyahu, and who warned US-Israeli relations were in a “full-blown crisis” that could only get worse after the midterm elections."-more

How about political animation? A 1951 propaganda cartoon called "Fresh Laid Plans" is on Vimeo


http://vimeo.com/18480797

MGM released the cartoon, one of the six pro-capitalist animation done in the middle of Cold War. But the above cartoon caused a big controversy upon release:

quote:

Metro Won’t Yank Cartoon In Farm Rap
Metro is sticking to its guns in releasing “Fresh Laid Plans,” cartoon short over which has developed a political controversy. M-G distribution vice-president William F. Rodgers stated in N. Y. yesterday (Tues.) the distrib has no intention of withdrawing the one-reeler from circulation.
Recognizing the uproar which “Plans” has caused, Rodgers issued a formal press statement identifying the M-G position.
He asserted: “‘Fresh Laid Plans’ is fifth in this series of patriotic cartoons which we have released. It was submitted to us by Harding College as were its four predecessors, and we released it because, like the others, we believed it to be interesting and entertaining to moviegoers.
“As a matter of fact we had received such favorable comment on the other cartoons, all of which dealt with similar subjects in the public interest, that our acceptance of ‘Fresh Laid Plans’ was routine.” “Plans” and other four shorts which Rodgers referred to all were produced in Hollywood by John Sutherland, for Harding. M-G serves only as the distributor, as it would with any other indie producer with whom it enters a releasing pact.
Touching off the fireworks in the “Plans” instance, however, is the fact the short has been interpreted in some quarters as treating of Government agricultural planning in satirical fashion. Carrying this thought still further, Alfred D. Stedman, farm editor of the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press, questioned whether handling of the short might mean that a “big segment of the movie industry is going to bat to knock the Government out of agriculture.”
Stedman further branded “Plans” as a “one-sided editorial in pictures" and declared its purpose was to sway public opinion in a hotly-contested farm issue.

'Hits at Price System'
Editor alleged the short hits specifically at the farm production and prices system advanced by Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan, known popularly as the Brannan Plan. Also linked in the pic's production is the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation which granted funds to the college for its lensing. Denials of the Stedman charges have been made by a spokesman for the Foundation, who said the film had neither the intent nor effect of satire, and by Sutherland. Producer said he merely tried to “point out the impossibility of planning our lives from a central authority.”
Other four cartoons made by Sutherland who, incidentally, formerly was associated with Walt Disney, were: “Make Mine Freedom,” dealing with free enterprise; “Meet King Joe,” concerning the capital-labor relationship; “Why Play Leap Frog,” focusing on prices and wages, and “Albert in Blunderland,” a satire on the Russian system. Three others now are in preparation, centering respectively on profits, taxes and inflation. M-G’s pacts with Harding have been on a single-pic basis. Distrib. has made no commitments for the future, as yet.
