That damned Blame

What's Mallard raving about today?

Racism, The Economy.

One the day in which I posted the nominees for Most Interminable Series or Running Theme, I appreciate Mallard going back to the Things That Are Racist well, once again.

In true Mallard fashion, of course, this is an outright lie in the way he wishes it were true (you can count on one hand the number of mainstream figures blaming criticism of President Obama on Racsim). And it is true in the way he wishes it were a lie (Teabaggers carrying Obama Witch Doctor signs can hardly avoid charges of Racism).

Gee, another strip featuring Mallard propped up in front of the idiot box eating crap while the "mainstream media" gleefully confesses to all the liberal sins Tinsley projects upon it! I didn't see that coming!

So, what are you trying to say, Bruce? That a sitting President can fix a disastrous economy in just a few months?

Because I'd swear you were one of those dickheaded simpletons who kept insisting that Bill Clinton could not be in any way responsible for the surplus and booming economy that promptly went to hell under Junior Bush...and yet, Clinton HAD to be to blame for 9/11, almost a full year after his departure.

You got it, Tog. Bush's apologists only stopped blaming Clinton for Bush's fuckups when the 2008 election results came in, and they started blaming Obama in advance. They're still blaming Carter, and maybe LBJ -- just keeping the blame spot warm for later, I guess.

If I was going down in history as a right wing lying shill, I'd drink too. No matter how much Suckbutt Tinsley gets paid, it doesn't justify his outright cowardice and constant ankle grabbing.

WV: wortsi. Why BT sits on bean bag chairs just like his Doorknob Duck

Why, oh why are right-wingers so "concerned" about racism? I wish they truly wanted to end racism, but it seems they just want to say that racism is so 1955 so that they can get away with a racist subtext and not get called on it.

wv: minerse, the tiny universe that idiots like Bruce Tinsley inhabit.

Grover Norquist blamed the stock meltdown which began Q3 '07 on Obama's election a year later. The right wing disconnect from reality is nothing short of stunning.

Meanwhile, there's this, which I followed a link to yesterday. Alas, don't remember from where.

JzB the so fucking sick of right wing lies trombonist

Once again, Tinshley identifies with the unemployed by drawing for us a duck who no longer, apparently, has a job.

They want to reduce racism so that it never happened in history to make the status quo palatable.

If they ever had to admit that ghettos were created by racism in the past, they just might have to admit that the poor, uneducated parts of the country really aren't the result of lazy people who brought it upon themselves.

Jazzbumpa - thanks for the link!

I tried thinking of something to say about today's "comic" but seriously ... one duck turd is starting to look like any other.

I just love how according to so many of the far right accusing someone of racism is worse than being a racist in the first place.

I cannot believe Tinsley continues with this, "racism is dead--no, it never existed," theme. I think he is the, only, one in the world who, sincerely, believes this shit!

Hey, Tinsley, since you have trouble differentiating between advice and metaphors (http://duckcover.blogspot.com/2008/11/that-damned-insanity.html), here is a good analogy: I, recently, saw a refernce to David Bowie's A Space Oddity (Major Tom), and I must say, your comic is to great ones like Bloom County, The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, and Garfield as the mission in A Space Oddity is to Star Trek.

Word Verification: Prioge, a particle that has infested Tinsley's brain, and made him insane, and reatarded.

Actually, as I remarked in comments to another post, they took the extra step of blaming Obama for retroactively causing the recession of 2007. Then again, there are wingnuts who seriously believe, or at least get seriously paid to say, that the New Deal caused the Great Depression...

WV: undlywar, a preemptive attack on a historical event.
