Quote: whomod said: Dave, the 2nd panel of your little cartoon CLEARLY mentions gay marriage. What do you mean the cartoon has nothing to do with gay marriage???
What the cartoon doesn't specifically mention is (P)resident Bush. That inference is yours. But hey if the boot fits..
i don't think there's any doubt in anyone's mind that it's aimed at Bush.
As I already said, the Oliphant cartoon assumes with no facts to support it that Jefferson would have approved of gay marriage.
Asked and answered.
Therefore, there is no factual argument that it makes.
It just slanders Jefferson by putting words in his mouth (that directly contradict Jefferson and other founding fathers' words of the importance of biblical principles and teaching the Bible in a democracy, which homosexuality (and specifically, "gay marriage") are in flagrant opposition of, to mock Bush and call him an idiot, without a factual basis.
There is no reasoned point made, the cartoon is just a fabricated excuse to call Bush an idiot, that follows no logical path of evidence.
While ostensibly commenting on the gay marriage issue, the Oliphant cartoon manufactures Jefferson's approval out of thin air, not from historical evidence, and therefore only exists to insult Bush and misrepresent the issue.
