Shouldn't the 'Victim Card' one be under Good Cartoons or whatever?  It fists the actions of Fundies/conservatives to the letter.
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

Depends on who made the cartoon. If a progressive made it, then I'll agree with you. If a wingnut made it, then it's stupid.

See that's my point they are not 'best' because they support your view. They are 'best' by being original, funny, well drawn, thought provoking, clear in their message and perhaps capable of swaying someone on the fence if not the other side. They are 'worst' because they fail to clearly convey their message, are confused, badly drawn, not funny or derivative.

Both the cartoons in question are worse because regardless of their message, they objectively suck hairy wookie balls.

Agreed. Too often we replace the "good and bad" with "us and them" and refuse to accept that something can be funny if it makes fun of something that we like.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

The last part or your post suddenly brought a flashback of a stupid early internet meme involving Chewbacca or Mr. T and human testicle consumption.

OH GREAT!....now some crudely-animated CGI baby is doing the "Hamster Dance" to Peanut Butter Jelly Time in my head!

........now a dead whale explodes on an Oregon beach! HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!

What's really sad is that this is still a better rap than anything Soulja Boy has ever done.

*BLEH*

Who the heck is this A Wyatt Mann guy, anyway? Is there any info on him? A bio? His real name? Is it a "he"? What if A Wyatt Mann's a "she". A Wyatt Mann could be a dog or a Klingon or a kumquat for all I care!

Who knows?  But wouldn't it be hilarious if it turned out he was actually a very dedicated satirist?

At some point it stops mattering if you're being super racist or just ironically super racist. The observable results are the same.

Of course. How else could "Poe's Law" exist.

Personally, I feel that A Wyatt Mann really believes the junk he draws. *yuck*

Satirist is not the same as a liberal.
