New comic book

“features radio pundits Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, and Oliver North as biomechanically tricked-out members of a conservative underground resistance,” fighting liberalism.

    Wait hold up… if the terrorists don’t care about the ‘kinder, gentler US government’ why is OBL trying to blow up New York… that makes NO sense…


  2. C says:

    this is EXACTLY where those braindead,sheep-like, moronic rightie talkers belong. in comic books.


  3. The Northeast Dilemma says:

    C – or in power at every level of government. Next stop – Supreme Court. lol!!! America hates liberals and will never elect them to office again!


  4. Justin says:

    NED

    I have say… Are you going to post something on topic? or are you going to go home?


  5. Justin says:

    I meant I have TO say…


  6. Gary Kleppe says:

    Neddy’s the kind of guy who has nothing to say, and insists on saying it very loudly.

    Oh, and Neddy? The election was stolen. Republicans couldn’t get elected dogcatcher if they didn’t have Diebold in there making sure the votes against them don’t get counted.


  7. Geves says:

    Truth is their kryptonite.


  8. The Northeast Dilemma says:

    #6 – if the election was stolen, I have nothing to fear in Bush’s falling poll numbers then!! Thank god – I was getting scared we might lose majority power.

    Gary – you’re so deluded, you can’t even get your propoganda straight!


  9. Citizen80203 says:

    I say give them their fantasy comics. The more submerged into “new reality” they become the better off we are.


  10. Gary Kleppe says:

    #6 – if the election was stolen, I have nothing to fear in Bush’s falling poll numbers then!!

    And when did I say you did, hm? Wanna quote from where I said anything to that effect?

    Of course, if you really believed in democracy, you’d realize that a broken democratic process is everybody’s problem, but I’d never accuse you of believing in democracy.

    Gary – you’re so deluded, you can’t even get your propoganda straight!

    Or you haven’t come to grips with the fact that not all liberals agree on everything.


  11. cynical ex-hippie says:

    My favorite part:

    writers Michael Medved and Michael Lackner claimed that ”Marvel Comics and other publishers are disseminating comic books that actively promote a destructive cynicism and distrust of the United States government.”

    Now, G. Gordon Liddy would never promote distrust of government!

    I am so getting that. This just cries out for fan fiction too. I’m already working on an episode I call, “Destroy All Liberals,” in which Liddy gives advice on how to shoot police under their vests as North prepares another shipment of missiles for Iranian Hezbollah. Hannity pummels Colmes in an ultra-bloody fight sequence. Hannity wins of course, and holds aloft the skull and spine of Colmes in victory. Includes a hot love scene with Ann Coulter, suitable for a-whackin-in-the-trailer.


  12. cynical ex-hippie says:

    Note to self: prison love scene with Coulter.

    This stuff practically writes itself.


  13. Gary Kleppe says:

    Hannity pummels Colmes in an ultra-bloody fight sequence. Hannity wins of course, and holds aloft the skull and spine of Colmes in victory.

    Spine? What spine?


  14. cynical ex-hippie says:

    Spine? What spine?

    Good point. Add to the script: Colmes’ spine turns out to be made entirely of gelatenous cartilige. Hannity then discovers that liberals are not in fact human, but a form of cleverly disguised land shark. Therefore, killing them is perfectly acceptable in the eyes of God. Pat Robertson confirms with a phone call to Heaven’s legal department, run by the ghost of W.


  15. Webster's Dic says:

    Fighting Liberalism?
    fighting:
    – intellectual and individual freedom
    – the belief in the goodness of man
    – the protection of political and civil liberties

    Now, there’s a battle worth fighting Traitorous Trio.


  16. offensive enough for ya? says:

    Next from Right Wing Publishers: Robo-Hitler and the Gestapo Underground fight to save the world from the Jew World Order.

    What? Too soon?


  17. Elvis says:

    Henry Ward Beecher: “Liberty is the soul’s right to breathe and, when it cannot take a long breath, laws are girdled too tight.”

    I find it scary to see/hear what today’s government, and far too many of its citizens, consider “liberty.” It’s difficult (though not impossible, especially these days) for those who have never had to struggle for their liberty to really know what liberty is.

    I feel that only those who don’t know what liberty really is, or those who are in power and know how threatening it can be to their power, would support things like “The Patriot Act” and the raping of our liberties.

    Chomsky writes: “States are not moral agents”


  18. Darth Filibustrous says:

    First episode titled:

    “The Propogandist, the Burglar and the Death squad fundraiser”


  19. The Northeast Dilemma says:

    You could have a strip where Democrats in Congress are “metaphorically” slaughtered by the comic heroes. Each senator that was brought down by conservatives since 2000 could be shown in a cartoon – Carnahan, Cleland, and my favorite – Daschle. LOL!!


  20. Gary Kleppe says:

    Oh, please draw that one up, Neddy. Send me a copy and don’t forget to autograph it. I’ll be happy to pass it around to show everybody how right-wingers take pleasure in “metaphorically” bringing down democracy.

    Oh, and you forgot to answer my question above, genius. Scroll up to comment #10.


  21. The Northeast Dilemma says:

    Gary – so are you saying Bush will steal to win again? Not sure what you need me to say.


  22. cynical ex-hippie says:

    So Bin Laden is a free man in this comic book? Just like in real life.


  23. Gary Kleppe says:

    Gary – so are you saying Bush will steal to win again? Not sure what you need me to say.

    Well, I said:

    The election was stolen. Republicans couldn’t get elected dogcatcher if they didn’t have Diebold in there making sure the votes against them don’t get counted.

    And then you said

    #6 – if the election was stolen, I have nothing to fear in Bush’s falling poll numbers then!!

    And you followed by accusing me of not having my story straight, i.e. of contradicting myself. So I asked you to point out anywhere where I said that you did have something to fear from falling poll numbers.

    The question still stands. Now go run away from it, like a good little Republican.


  24. cynical ex-hippie says:

    I’m sure this dystopia will have technology developed to allow pre-natal testing to determine if the fetus will be liberal or conservative.

    Come on people, we’re talking comic books here! Do I have to say it again? Prison love scene with Ann Coulter. Don’t make me describe it in detail.

    Comic books, action figures. Just in case you mistake these people for real leaders.


  25. cynical ex-hippie says:

    Also in this dystopia, you will not be allowed in to a taxpayer-funded town hall event to see your President if you have the wrong bumper sticker on your car.

    Oh wait…


  26. Gary Kleppe says:

    Also in this dystopia, you will not be allowed in to a taxpayer-funded town hall event to see your President if you have the wrong bumper sticker on your car.

    Oh wait…

    That’s the problem with doing satire these days: It keeps getting more difficult to outdo reality.


  27. Jon says:

    For a liberal alternative to this right-wing comic uber-fantasy, check out:

    “The Avenging Angel.”

    So Many Guilty. So Little Time to Punish Them All.

    The Avenging Angel metes out punishment to the worst perpetrators of the vast conservative assault on the United States. Through public exposure of their hypocrisy, sexual perversities, marital failings, political skullduggery, influence peddling, corporate crime and other common peccadilloes of the right, the Avenging Angel delivers retribution to the incredibly guilty in the form of bad press, broad ridicule, and ideally, incarceration. Regardless, for all of those on the lists below, a particularly warm seat has no doubt been reserved in Dante’s inner circle.


  28. Gary Kleppe says:

    Jon, your link goes right back to this page.


  29. Elvis says:

    NED,

    I’d be interested to hear your definition of ‘liberty.’ Would you mind taking a moment to do so? Not from the book, but what liberty means to you.

    Thanks in advance.


  30. Sean Hannity says:

    went to your blog NED, and i noticed your favorite book is by Ann Coulter. i thought you were a sheep for liking me, but Ann too? wow, you are a very good soldier NED. no wonder your sheep-like talking points are always so fresh. i noticed you like pop music too. sweet. .


  31. Sean Hannity says:

    The Holloway story is out of control. I couldn’t even watch Hannity for weeks because of it. It’s plain nonsense if you ask me.

    Comment by The Northeast Dilemma
    come on NED, whos your daddy?????


  32. TAC says:

    Comic books for rednecks, “My Pet Goat” for their president….see any patterns here? This ain’t the “War and Peace” crowd.


  33. cynical ex-hippie says:

    See Dick and Jane lynch the mean old liberal.

    Twist, liberal! Twist in the wind!

    Spot barks. Dick and Jane go home for more talk radio.
