The only thing we "know now" that we didn't "know then" was that we'd crawl out of there with our members in our hands. And that is the only reason those who oppose the Iraq invasion "now" didn't oppose it "then."

I wonder if he's just a lousy artist, or if he draws that way out of intent? There are a few cartoonists I wonder that about, in fact.

Racist drawing aside, Rall is one of the more vicious cartoonists when it comes to pitiless editoral comment, though.

Look at how he drew Obama in the beginning and now. He changed to drawing him like a gorilla.

You evidently thought it useful to re-acquaint DU with your oft-stated view on the subject, so I wanted both sides to be represented.

Rall may have done it subconsciously, but it is still a racist depiction as evidenced by the depictions of Obama early on and then after Rall got pissed off at Obama.

Hey...

I can watch an 8 episode miniseries on a Dickens novel all at ONE TIME.... and even remember which character did what!

So there!

Of course, none of my friends will do this with me.
