Worst Political Cartoons

[Ironchew]

Ah yes, the atheist majority persecuting the poor Christians.

To be fair, that has happened in the past

No, it really hasn't. But nice try with the historical revisionism.

Say, isn't stealing a sin? Someone refresh my memory.....



Oh, here's the Deviantart page I found this on.

You're welcome!

It is stealing because it's a redrawing of a cartoon where instead of a sign he's belting the guy with a cross and complains of impinging on his religious freedom when the guy goes to break it.

You say it's "historical revisionism."  Why do you think so?

I suspected as much.

I just posted a kindly warning that it's a copyright infringement. Because it is. Deviantart carries ads. Bet he's saying "Jesus!" in a not-happy way. And the admin takes it down.

Actually Christians are currently the biggest recipients of religious discrimination but it is mainly happening in places like China and middle east (With the occasional minor cases in Catholic countries that offer special treatment to one branch or Christianity and treat other branches that are minority poorly.)

And then we got the people who think that they are being persecuted if someone suggest taking away the special position that Christianity still has in some countries because it is the "official state religion." Poland for example is giving Catholics all kind of special favours and if someone suggest things like, I dunno, making Catholic church pay for the religious classes that are held by Catholic priests in schools or at least letting the schools have some control over who is chosen as the teacher or what kind of religious studies they teach (since the tax payers are the ones paying for all of it currently) and you get people enraged as they see this as heretical act (some Polish politician implied that the devil is the one behind this new demand) and they fight tooth and nail to defend the "monoculturalism of Poland."

Yeah, check out what he said to me. Ooh! I'm so scared of the little Christtard's fanclub! I'm shaking in my size 7 loafers! Oh, someone save me!

He's response to you was pretty laughable as well. Grammar, motherfucker, can he use it? And he's spewing the typical God and country bullshit.

[mellenORL]

He's a total chickenshit/batshit flat-out cultist of a "Christian". 

Here's my new comment from this morning. No doubt he'll "spam" it off before anybody else gets to read it. He's so stupid, I feel sorry for him. I strongly agree with your comments, but I took a different approach, probably just because I'm old and a softy when it comes to younger folks; "Give 'em lots of slack! You were too passionate or naïve at some point, too."

Look, I'm trying to help you to not get into serious trouble. Not criticizing your faith, okay? Here is the link to Deviantart's copyright policy page - about.deviantart.com/policy/co…      At least scroll down the page to read "What's Fair Use?", and click the links within that section to research how you can safely and legally alter the original cartoon as a form of "parody", or protest if prefer to call it. "Parody" does not necessarily equal "comedy", it's just part of the legal description of the method by which you could legally alter the original copyrighted cartoon so as to express your opinion about it and your faith.

ADDENDUM - Ha! He left my comment above intact, and added a link to his source for the original Vs. altered version of the cartoon (links to another paranoid fundie blog, but yeah, what else would he ever read?).

Well, mellen, you're just nicer than me. Can't fault you for that.

This internet tough guy seems to be not only an art thief, but someone who steals from people who've already stolen from other people. So much for honor among thieves.

Much as I enjoy seeing a Christian get thrown to the e-lions, he didn't do anything worthy of criminal prosecution. Calling it "theft" and using words like "stolen" or "stealing" poisons the well and encourages a culture that overcriminalizes the social activity of producing derivative works.

I know such misrepresentation is encouraged by the corporate elite, but their interests in copyright are at odds with the interests of the public.

Well, what would you call it?

[RavynousHunter]

A bastardized derivative work?

[mellenORL]

Just lazy shit as an excuse for creativity, in this case. I warned him not because I am a fan of copyrighting, but because this clueless dude could get in actual deep legal trouble because of how aggressively some companies pursue infringers...even if it's just some obscure little fundie fuckwit harmlessly playing around in his sandbox on Deviantart.

Check out Lord Elthibar's latest "Masterpiece".

Reminds me of that episode of Daria where Brittany tries to design a poster telling people not to join a gang or take drugs. "Where is my lipstick?"

[Even Then]

I love how the sarcastic comment gets featured by the owner.

I also like how LordEnema claims that Daesh shouting "Allahu Akbar" means they represent Islam while WBC invokes the name of God while picketing soldier funerals. (I tried to point out the hypocrisy to him. He wanked No True Scotsman until climax, then banned me.)

EDIT: Holy crap I made it to his description. Upsetting conservatives is always a joyous occasion.

[Lady Evil]

Sarcasm flies right over this douchebag's head.
