Yes, it's mocking the Tea Party. But I think the extreme views that it's mocking are mostly dumb anyway, so I got a kick out of it.

The one on the left is pretty much IS the view of fear mongering republicans, the top right I'm not sure what its trying to say, since whatever racism usually directed at Obama is usually far more obvious and abhorrent, and well it is Charlie Brown who just happens to have a tan in this panel, taking it literally I don't see anything amiss.

As for Palin's dictionary well... It would be a positive step for her to take.

Honestly.

It's a pretty good spoof of the comics it's spoofing.

Those are only the opening panels. You have to click on the numbers on the bottom to get the whole strips.

Blayne, Click the link so you can see the full strips before you jam your foot futher down your throat.

Or you could take some classes on how not to be rude.

Take your pick.

That's what I saw, if it couldn't make its point in three panels then it's point obviously isn't worth taking.

Blayne, it sounds like you saw the introductory image and assumed it was either one three paneled comic, or three single paneled comics.

Clicking the numbers at the bottom will take you to the full strips.

Blayne...this is one of those times when you should just take the surprisingly gentle advice that's being given and just say, "Whoopsie, my bad!" and move on, man. We all get egg on our faces from time to time, but it doesn't have to get worse than that. It can even be funny from your end too.

Funny, I feel that way about posters sometimes. [Wink]

It isn't 3 different strips, Blayne. Not sure if you noticed that, that's all. It's a bunch, and in some of them the first 3 panels are set up for the punch line.
