Cartoon: Battle Hymn of the Republicans

[Omaha Steve]

[glowing]

1. The most accurate description of the pigs.

[Joe Bacon]

22. You got that right (EXTREMELY Right!)

Republicans love the Je$u$ talk, but they walk the Ayn (as in MINE) Rand Walk!

[livvy]

2. LOL...love 'toons and this one is a good'n! n/t

[Olney Blue]

3. That sums it up brilliantly.

[madokie]

4. Man o man if that doesn't hit the nail squarely on the head I don't know what would

[Hart2008]

5. Only the dollar hasn't been so mighty since Junior took office! K&R n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. Couldn't KR this fast enough.

And the uber-pukes they answer to are traitors.

"Money trumps peace... Sometimes." -- George W. Bush, Feb. 14, 2007

[calimary]

11. Agreed!

Especially with your "money trumps peace...sometimes" quote.

WHAT A BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So let me get this straight: In the Beatitudes, one of the lines is "Blessed are the MONEYmakers..."? Stuff that in your lying, phony-ass born-again, I'm saved, I'm forgiven evangelical fundamentalism, george.

10. Bravo. k&r nm

[LeftishBrit]

12. Great stuff - sums up the Right everywhere!

[Quantess]

13. Good one!

14. Critique: it doesn't fit the song's meter or rhyme scheme.

An example of a lyric that WOULD fit would be...

Mine eyes have seen the glo-ry/of the tramp-ling of the poor
We in-sist they work for pen-nies, then/we send them off to war
And to show their flag draped cof-fins/Is a thing that we ab-hor
The dol-lar is our Lord!

(bridge)
Glo-ry, glo-ry Hal-li-bur-ton!
Glo-ry, glo-ry to Black-wa-ter!
Glo-ry, glo-ry to Dick Chey-ney!
The dol-lar is our Lord!

Mouth this along with the actual tune and you'll see the difference.

On edit: I added the dashes, so white people without rhythm can sound out the meter properly.

20. Well done. Says it all.

31. Please forward my little thingie to the cartoonist.

I don't even want credit for it. Just as long as he fixes the cartoon, or redoes it. He just needs somebody who actually writes lyrics, and knows about rhyming, meter and rhythm. If you're going to do this, you need a song we can SING.

Sing at McCain every time he appears. Sing at the Democratic Convention when the Republicans (i.e. the Florida "delegates" who actually work for the Florida Republican Party) try to show up and cast their illegal votes. Sing wherever Bush wanders in his drunken stumbles towards retirement.

15. Great cartoon.

Here's another good one

[RevCheesehead]

16. Ain't THAT the fucking truth!

K & R.

[AwakeAtLast]

17. That needs to be permanently posted on the front page of DU!

Absoulutely brilliant! :bounce:

[mcollier]

18. The End of The GOP

Lets get out and vote.

[AwakeAtLast]

19. Light the torches!

:D

:hi:

[grannylib]

21. And they worship that Almighty Dollar at the alter of the holy and sacred

Free Market System. Have you noticed?? No Reich-winger has faith in Jesus anymore: it's the MARKET. Wages low? "It's what the market will bear." Wall Street going wonky? "The market will correct itself." Economy holding its own, or in the tank? "We'll have to wait until the markets open on Monday."

Idolatrous fuckers. Their ONLY faith is in profits. Filth, every one of 'em.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Oh glory, glory halelujah... oh glory, glory halelujah....

it needed some completion though....

But it is all about Mamom for these guys

24. K&R Thanks Omaha Steve

A big thank you to Omaha Steve!
He does a great job on the Labor Forum
I am a retired officer on a Labor Union and have fought many long and hard fights for the rights of workers. I am going to pass this cartoon on along with Carol Simpson's URL on to all of my contacts still active in the labor movement. I as many retired and active labor people are still very active in the political process, and you don't need to ask which side we're on.

[Shoelace]

25. that website has lots of great cartoons, ones we will need, check this one

26. Any of these songs will do, and they got the hate mail to prove it:

http://cdbaby.com/cd/freedomtoastrep
especially #2,3,5,9,10 and the winner for rw hate mail, #12

also, for their stance on unintelligent design, listen to "The Evolution"
in the song selection here: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=286361461

(They won't like the McCain song much, either, and Sinatra singing about Obama is amazing!)

[phiddle]

27. Chorus: "Glory, glory. how he'll screw 'ya, Glory, glory how he'll screw 'ya..."

[Eagle_Eye]

28. I would sing this at work, except I would get my azz kicked

I work with a bunch of rightard rednecks

[Omaha Steve]

29. When was the last time a cartoon made it to the greatest list on the front page?

I knew this was a great cartoon. I just didn't know how great.

[Larkspur]

30. This cartoon should be made into a bumper sticker
