The Old Rubber-Glue Trick Again

Glenn McCoy, 12/17/13:

The greatest threat to the health of the American public is a government board empowered to make minor changes to Medicare payments -- not anything to do with individuals directly -- that can be overruled by Congress.

It's certainly not the actual boards at actual insurance companies that make actual decisions to deny care to actual people, causing actual deaths. Not actually.

Your Call Is Important To Us

Glenn McCoy, 10/23/13:

For-profit health providers, such as insurance companies, are well-known for amazing customer service and perfectly clear communications -- especially around important areas like signing up and the cost of benefits.

Time to Check The Dog Whistle Handbook

Glenn McCoy, 8/27/13:

Obama is scheming to destroy the US military in an unwinnable quagmire in Syria, so that the forces of international Communist Muslim Kenyan Marxist Naziism can conquer the world.

Funny, I thought right-wingers like McCoy believed that Obama was traitorously ignoring the clear warning signs of international terrorism in Syria and not invading so Al Qaeda could conquer the world.

It's so hard to keep up with them.

Blame It on the Rap Music and Those Backward Ball Caps

Glenn McCoy, 8/24/13:

We must never forget that young black men are all murderous thugs who must be kept in their place at all times. And how come a minority has the ability to ever stand up to the glorious white man?!

What? You think there's any other reason that McCoy and his ilk are harping on this one story? The need for Australian joggers to be heavily armed to defend themselves, perhaps?

Tortured Quote Theater Presents

Glenn McCoy, 6/21/13:

Ahem.

Obama calls segregated Catholic and Protestant schools in Northern Ireland divisive.

Feel free to disagree, if you can think up a good argument....

(Catholic Online has the longest version of the Obama quote I've found, but every news story on this topic comes from the right-wing Catholic outrage machine, so there's more than the usual share of point-missing.)

Upon This Rock

Glenn McCoy, 2/13/13:

The very most important piece of Catholic doctrine -- far above "love thy neighbor as thyself," vastly superior to "judge not, lest thee not be judged" -- is "never ever let a company pay for anyone's birth control."

And thus Obama is the most anti-Catholic president ever.

I'm the God! I'M the God!

Glenn McCoy, 2/8/13:

It's rare that any political cartoon makes me chuckle out loud, and doubly so when Glenn McCoy does so. But this one did it -- maybe because I'm checking it out on a Sunday afternoon -- and so it gets posted here without any sarcastic comments.

We Don't Need No Water

Glenn McCoy, 1/22/13:

Obama really is a secretly Muslim Marxist sleeper agent dedicated to the utter downfall of America and a global Califate!

He just didn't have time to do any of the stuff he really wanted to in the first term -- but now Armageddon's coming!

If Only Police Have Guns, Then, Then, Well SOMETHING Bad Will Happen!

Glenn McCoy, 1/14/13:

If we allow the guv'mint to take away our guns, how will we ever assassinate that {racial slur removed} in the White House?

Also, every individual is entirely responsible for their own safety, because the only good government is one that's already been drowned in the bathtub.

Booga Booga Booga! IRS Agents!

Flying McCoys, 12/25/12:

Ha! As any fool knows, gift tax is payable by the giver, not by the recipient. Also, gift tax only currently applies (again, to the giver) for gifts of over $13,000 for a single recipient.

The McCoys should really ask all of their billionaire buddies (who are likely gifting out to the tax limit at the end of this year, in preparation for the expected rise in rate for 2013) about how this stuff actually works.

The Triumphant Return of Out-of-Context Theater!

Glenn McCoy, 9/27/12:

McCoy's future is entirely made up of repressive anti-religious bigots, because that's the kind of freedom America was founded on.

What? You say it's only anti-Islamic bigots that are acceptable? Well, maybe a few Sikhs get killed by accident, and who the hell cares about the Jains, right? And Hindus are practically pagans, so they don't count. And only the really right-wing Jews are our kind of people. And who gives a crap about Shintoists amirite? And some of those Protestants are so wishy-washy and liberal that you can't count them as Christian....

Nuanced Thinkers for Romney?

Glenn McCoy, 9/26/12:

Catholics think and vote in lock-step, always doing precisely what their secret masters in the Vatican demand, just as right-wingers like McCoy complained about when JFK ran for President fifty-two years ago.

Nine Thousand Gun Murders a Year

Glenn McCoy, 9/5/12:

That's right -- we'd all be much better off if there were a lot fewer guns out there, shooting police and federal agents.

I'm just astonished to discover McCoy agrees.

He Cuts Out The Government and Passes On the Savings to You!

Glen McCoy, 8/31/12:

You can save a lot of money if you intend to eliminate most of the federal government: after all, who really cares about highways, Medicare, Social Security, clean air, water, and food?

Not an Editorial Cartoon, But...

Quick! Name the cartoonist least likely to pay tribute to that '60s counterculture icon, R. Crumb!

BZZZZZT! Time's up.

Did you say...Gary and Glenn McCoy?

So...is this just the first wave of a concerted effort by conservative cartoonists to reclaim Crumb (who, admittedly, is a huge curmudgeon and reactionary in some areas)? And, more importantly, will it be Eric Allie or Michael Ramirez who gets to do the modern take on Stoned Agin?

Help! Help! I'm Being Oppressed!

Glenn McCoy, 8/2/12:

Christians are subject to horrible oppression and prejudice in the US: they're forbidden from marrying each other in most states, have a much higher suicide rate, are routinely bullied and beaten in school, are subject to "outing" as Christians, and slang words meaning "Christian" are used daily as slurs.

Also, 76% of the US population does not identify as Christian.

And If There Weren't Any News, We Wouldn't Have to HEAR About it, Either!

Glenn McCoy, 7/25/12:

The only way to stop mass murderers is to eliminate all government funding for education and the entire Department of Justice!

That way, we'll all be too stupid to know which end of the gun shoots the bullets, and there won't be anyone to declare anything a crime anyway!

The Moral Equivalent of a Bad Analogy

Glenn McCoy, 7/17/12:

Consensual sex between two adults in private is exactly the same as covering up the sexual abuse of children.

Exactly.

Why Don't You Get a Job?

Glenn McCoy, 7/13/12:

Only government can create jobs, so we need a huge, expensive job-creation program, sponsored by the President, to get jobs going.

Maybe you could call it the American Jobs Act!

Everything Looks Like a Nail

Glenn McCoy, 4/26/12:

He's a Commie, folks! A dirty, rotten commie! And he's going to steal your guns and send your kids to reeducation camps!

Really. Any minute now. Just wait for it.
