Revered editorial cartoonist Mick Luckovich has ended up with a blog of sorts on the AJC. He doesn't write, and explains that he two finger types, so do not expect capital letters because they take too long. However, the blog is allowing people to comment directly about his cartoons. Needless to say the wingnuts are out in full force.
You are a leftist leaning twerp with little talent. You need to go back to school for more than just history lessons. You should also take remedial grammar and art lessons. Jimmy Carter is the worst US president. He was clueless and powerless when faced with the Iranian Hostage situation. I also remember double digit inflation and interest rates. Bill Clinton was simply a liar and national joke.
Here is a sampling of comments on a few posts. It is a lot to dredge through. If you like Mike and get a chance,
Yes, Mike, you are soooo funny, ridiculing our troops and demeaning our president. You are just one big joker. Why don't you draw a cartoon showing you trying to sketch while Cynthia Tucker holds up signs saying "BASH BUSH! BASH BUSH"? And you, Mike, would have a nice bubble in the cartoon saying "Isn't that what I always do?" Don't forget a little American flag in the picture so we don't have to make a wild guess as to your nationality.

Billie, George, Emcee & MIKE, we know you think that Pres. Bush is a moron, Saddam Hussein is a sweetheart, and Osama bin Laden is Santa Claus. Go to the 9/11 Memorial and tell them that the war on terror is all a neocon trick. Tell them that 9/11 is one big LIE and Iraq was such a nice place `til we got there. Nominate Cindy Sheehan for president. The support you are giving this country during wartime is ignominious. You will soon receive the Al Jazeera Award for Sympathetic Suckers.

When Al Gore had a dam opened up so he could float a canoe during a drout, you say nothing. Yet you bash President Bush for doing what everyone does in a news conference or interview...rehearse. Can you pronounce `Hypocricy'
...
I do not care for Mike. He is a `Bed wetting'liberal and very narrow minded. Like all politicians, Mike consistantly abuses his position to air his personal views, while fearing to tread into some waters!
...
worst president in american history", were you around with LBJ, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton...They gave our country away with government spenting and giveaways, also 40 years of liberal Congress spenting did`nt help.. Repubicans ceased the hand-outs and and spenting, so the polls go down especially in the African-American communities.Once aboard the big fast merry-go-round and it stops all hell can break loose.
...
By all means lets seperate out the views of African Americans. After all they are the ones who care most deeply about who can give them the biggest hand out. You are truely a moron
...
Anyone who thinks Bush LIED about the war, step forward and provide evidence. I have not seen a shred of it, or else he would have been impeached, censured, or investigated...oops, that's right, he WAS INVESTIGATED, THOROUGHLY. And guess what, liberals? No lies have been found!
...
Look at all of the name calling from the liberals on this board. I thought that liberals used to think that they were "intellectual" types. It's sad to see the left turn into such an angry and downright childish bunch. Spend less time shouting names in caps and pick up a bookm. You might learn something.
...
Also, you seem to forget that Clinton did lie about war. He created an attack on Saddam when the Monica story was breaking to detract attention (a movie parodied it - "Wag the Dog"). He attacked to cover his butt and said there was a reason - WMD. So if he didn't lie and it was really about WMD, then Bush is also right for the same reason. Your logic is woefully flawed.
...
mike, so what have you done to improve things? cartoons don't provide jobs, bring water to hurting people or stop terrorists. you are a fine artist, but i think political cartoons for the most part tear down people.
...
I quit looking at your cartoons after your constant Bush bashing. Why don't you show us a cartoon of an idiot New Orleans mayor on the levee filled with money that should have been used to strengthen the levees.
Why don't you quote the number of white Americans that support Bush, like the Moms and Dads of the dead soldiers, who volunteered in Iraq and Afganistan. Those are the soldiers that are keeping the fighting away from America.
Why don't you show a cartoon of Bush keeping the terrorists in this country from continuing their Jihad by keeping them in jail or catching them in their terrorist's plots.
...
Mike Luckovish is a no-talent hack working for a garbage liberal rag of a newspaper! Nuff said.
...
You say you're a one-fingered typist. When it comes to Bush, you're a one-fingered cartoonist, too. And it's not hard to figure out which finger.
...
You and the liberal, commie rag - The Al-Jazeera Constitution - that you write for are both terrible. You guys are so blatently biased. That's why I never but this fish-wrapper.
