I like how the conservative cartoons get called inflammatory while the anti-American cartoon on the last page gets praised for how awesome it is.

I'm criticizing the general action, not any one forum member.

+1. Those Obama ones I can easily live with, but that planned parenthood thing is just disgusting and I wonder if whoever made the one about violent crimes ever heard of the word 'statistics'.
How was that one anti-American?

Ok, sorry if I messed up with that pregnancy thing
If you are THAT infuriated with that image (leaving the fact that what it says is completely true) I've got no problem on editing the post. I could understand that it's not funny, but from that to the point of saying that it is disgusting, kind of a open mind problem (oh! it's true! but it's conservative ->
)
I'll absent posting about my political opinion the next time I post in this thread about political opinions.
So what about the other images?

I have an issue with the pregnancy one, the guns one and the meme one. Basically, they aren't cartoons, as political as they may be.
The text of the pregnancy poster might be true, but I dare you to find someone who has (in the last 20 years) suggested that smoking and drinking is not potentially bad for a foetus.
As for the other pictures, they're mostly too small to read comfortably, though I did find the bottom one about the journalist to be mildly amusing.

I'm not even American, so I definitely wasn't thinking 'Hey, that's conservative, must flame!'.
The thing is suggesting that Planned Parenthood encourages smoking and drinking (so effectively handicapping or mutilating) during pregnancies you do not want to abort, and I can't recall seeing any of those. Also look at the size of that belly*. I don't know anyone advocating for abortion at that stage of the pregnancy either.
*Of course, if they'd show the belly of a one-month pregnant woman, it'd be a bit hard to see she was pregnant in the first place.
No problem with those. Obviously politically biased but hey, this is the thread for it.

Wel abortion is bad for the baby, just like those are, so if you are going to complain then you have to say that you are against abortion too.
Just click on them and they get bigger.

Its easy, brah. You want a baby, you dont smoke or drink or do anything that can harm it. You dont want it, abort as soon as possible and you can drink and smoke all you want without having to worry about a, lets call it, an unhealthy baby.

The picture about the pregnancy thing what it means is that society, on one hand, will rage at the woman pregnant smoking or drinking because of the poor child, but that poor child becomes mysteriously part of the mother's body, and so, with no rights to not to be killed, when it comes to awkward situations.
Strijder, I'm not american too obviously, it's just pictures from a friend of fb that i've been keeping.

Society rages against people who abort, too. I'd say the difference is that sometimes there are actually good reasons for abortion, whereas there's no good reason for smoking and drinking and screwing up a fetus that you want to give birth to.
Unlike you, I have a nuanced opinion on it. Making downright lies however, such as equating people who have abortions with people who inflict smoking and alcohol abuse upon foetuses, are a disgustingly shabby thing to do. As LightSpectra would say, it's akin to bringing up the priestly sex abuse scandal with Catholics in irrelevant conversations just to score cheap points.
Shall we get back to cartoons though?

No one would have gotten angry if the comics had a liberal point of view, just saying.
But yes, let us get back to business.
