Since political threads are all the rage at the moment I thought I would offer this for your viewing pleasure. I found it quite funny as it gives negative implications to both parties.

How does it give a negative implication to the Dems?

Consider the faux argument using vanilla ice cream instead of President Bush.

John Kerry doesn't like vanilla ice cream
And neither do the terrorists!!
That's because vanilla ice cream sickens the terrorists.
So if John Kerry doesn't like vanilla ice cream, what does he like?
John Kerry supports terrorism. ...and that's a fact:


Looked at that way it's kinda silly isn't it? The suggestion is that John Kerry doesn't like vanilla ice cream because it makes the terrorists sick. It's far more likely that John Kerry doesn't like vanilla ice cream for other reasons and that he probably would like vanilla ice cream if he knew that it made terrorists sick. In the end, I think the comic is making fun of the Bush campaign for running advertisements that aren't sophisticated at all.

Obviously it doesn't prove that John Kerry supports terrorism which is why it's funny. But it does go along with the view that John Kerry disagrees with all of Bush's current actions and therefore if he's elected he will try to reverse everything Bush is doing which could be a bad thing in terms of national security. I think that both Kerry and Bush are monkeys and I found the cartoon funny and wanted to share, hopefully it makes someone laugh.

Sadly, after seeing the Hitler ad, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bush people came out with an ad just like that.

I just watched Bowling for Columbine, and must say that Moore is an amazing guy.

I thought they did that well enough on their own.
