You are a leftist leaning twerp with little talent. You need to go back to school for more than just history lessons. You should also take remedial grammar and art lessons. Jimmy Carter is the worst US president. He was clueless and powerless when faced with the Iranian Hostage situation. I also remember double digit inflation and interest rates. Bill Clinton was simply a liar and national joke.

To quote the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons: “Worst President Ever”. It’s amazing how thin skinned the Republicans are. I never heard them complain when you skewered President Clinton. Then again, when you consider how easy the Pretendident makes it for everyone to make fun of him…..

Mike,

The point isn’t that you skewer Bush - it is that you only skewer Bush. Where are the cartoons nailing Nagin for the bus fiasco, or the NO cops for running off the job, or the LA governor for dithering why NO put under, or all of the LA democracts for failing to deal with the levees despite all the money provided to do so?

Let’s remember that bias is just as much about what isn’t covered as what is covered.

A closing point - tax cuts, by defintion, can only go to people who pay taxes.

I only read your cartoons every couple of weeks or so, but it looks like you’ve moved to the top of the food chain with your own “quick link” on the main page and the top choice in the Opinions menue. Now you’ve got a blog of sorts. You do best when you restrict your political opinions to your cartoons. The left-wing praise and the right-wing condemnations are unnecessary, but apparently your new-found status requires further commentary from both you and your public. BTW, Richard Kelley does a better job at the T-P that you ever did.

Mike;

Rejoice in the criticism of the right wing conservatives. They would call Barry Goldwater a liberal if he did not agree with them. They are so far right (and wrong) that they must look to the left to find the John Birch Society. For me, I vote for the middle two thirds. I prefer to let the extreme right and left hold hands and shout at the moon.

Sounds like you’ve been stuck like a pig. You sound surprised, like the MSM, that you were caught showing your bias. Your job in truth, might not be fair and balanced. However, the AJC should be, and to coincidentally hire someone that shares their liberal bias’ is another example of the bias in the MSM. Instead of acting surprised that that cat is out of the bag and giving us an opportuninty to “create” one nice Bush ‘toon’, why not encourage the AJC to be fair and balanced, by hiring another cartoonist to actually balance your ‘toons’. Then do the same on all of the national and local reporting, and you know what?, I might buy this liberal rag again… Why is fair and balanced so hard for you to swallow? Mainly because left wing liberals never ever, and will never trust the people to do the write thing. Everything the AJC and you do is to write propoganda to train these minions you consider less than you. Just like the blacks approval rating that you quote at 2% for Bush, you consider this a reasonable position. Even though you know these same black think that white blew up the levees. Even though you know that a black mayor controlled New Orleans and is therefore “immune” from criticism. Instead, you keep making your marxist comments about Bush being the worst president ever. Gees. give me a break. I think its time for another comparison of Bush to Hitler, that always brings out the crazies in your party.

Getting us into Iraq was criminally fraudulent, but the way this administration conducts its absurd excuse for post-invasion strategy is criminally neglegent. Much like the Vietnam War, Bush and his administration cronies may as well take these poor GIs out behind the White House and just shoot them in the head. The deaths and injuries wouldn’t be any less meaningless. Those who believe the propaganda that says we must allow Bush to continue getting our troops killed in order to “honor” those he’s already gotten killed are misguided and misled at best and just plain stupid at worse.

As one who reads and contributes to many forums, blogs and commentary links, I am increasingly curious about the mind-numbing sameness of the responses by the Bush apologists. They almost never address the negative criticisms directed at Bush and his policies. Rather, they attack us who write them, whine about “fairness” and attack Carter and/or Clinton (!). In a way, I sympathsize. It’s hard to defend the indefensible. On the other hand, I wonder if Rove has set up a boiler room somewhere in India where a bunch of hired gun Hindus are pecking away at their keyboards entering and re-entering his scripted “responses”-and for minimum wage at that.

Over the years I have enjoyed some of Mike Luckovich’s cartoons, but I have come to realize that Mike is a bitter man. Ever since a Republican entered the White house Mike’s true colors have shown through. A true editorial cartoonist would try and mix up his topics to keep from showing such bias for one political party or the other, but not Mike. It is sad that one cannot read a newspaper or watch a news cast without those entities trying everything they can to put their personal beliefs on the topic. News is suppose to be a true picture of events told in a way that each person can decide for themselves how it effects their personal beliefs

Mike, as an old soldier, I enjoy your cartoons. Bush and his gang can’t stand the truth nor showing the body bags being shipped home in his quest to “spread democracy” in a “theocracy” He is innocent of common sense despite his father’s in-fluence in having Yale and Harvard accept him as a party boy and then bragging about “you too can be President with a “C” average. Well, to quote W, “mission accomplished” . He is the most stupid President that has occupied the Oval Office. He could not even manage a baseball team nor an oil company. I can’t wait until he sits on the front porch of Senator Trent Lott, a good old Southern boy.

Folks, people who set themselves up as the arbiters of the moral high ground (as has the current Administration) better grow a thicker hide & learn to roll with the punches, ‘cause they’re fair game in the political arena. And if you’re a professed acolyte of said moral arbiters, you shouldn’t expect anything less.

Chickens are coming home to roost for Dubya. On October 6, 2005 in his speech to the nation. He raised the question as to why Bin Laden don’t do as he say when he sends suicide bombers to attack our forces and friends. I ask why he (Dubya)a card carrying Goldwater conservative, didn’t go to Viet Nam since he was a qualified fighter pilot. The need for fighter pilots at that time was ciritical. He instead chose to “drive” his jet around north Texas on the weekends instead of around North Viet Nam with the likes of John McCain and Duke Cunningham, true fighter pilots. As a fighting vet from that war, I can’t forgive the level of spineless behavior demonstrated by our ” War President”.

Mike, One of the only reasons I ever even look at the AJC is your little place on the pages.Some of the lefty blogs pointed me to you about a month ago,thank HEAVENS.

I find it incredibly sad that this country is so horribly divided over politics and religion.Red State/Blue State aside,I thought we all were Americans first and we were supposed to give a damn about each other’s well being as a priority.I also thought this was supposed to be a place where you aren’t scared to speak your mind and heart,without being attacked or constantly shouted down.Today’s “conservatives”(who are often anything but) think balance is the truth and a lie(or many) to obscure it. Or to just blatantly shout down and ridicule anyone who disagrees with them.Or,to smear and undermine people’s lives as payback for not being a neoconservative and trying to stop the rampant corruption.Nothing is sacred any more,not even God.It breaks my heart and makes me very concerned for my country.

Politicial satire via cartoons have been around for a LONG time,an interesting measure of the issues of the day and a reflection of the times.It’s also protected by the Constitution,even if the object of the satire doesn’t get it or think it’s funny.It’s very interesting and telling to look at political cartoons across the board,conservative and liberal today,if you can step back and take a breath you’ll see some marked differences that might surprise people if they could be human and not political while doing so.

Mike is easily the best political cartoonist I have read. Like all good humorists, Lukovich finds the obvious and makes fun of it in a way few can.

What’s even more funny is the response he gets from detractors of his work on the preznit, etc. To them I say this: George Bush makes it way too easy for all of us to make fun of him. He’ll go down in history as the dumbest, most corrupt liar of a president our country has known. Bush surrounds himself with like-minded people, so Lukovich is rewarded exponentially.

I realize that y’all conservatives are mostly too stupid or too brainwashed to understand this concept, but dislike of the Bush administration and its policies does not equate to: A) Aid and comfort to the enemy. B) Thinking that Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden are nice people. C) Not believing that terrorism is a problem. D)Hating America.

However, the fact that you people keep making these connections and accusations is the primary reason that your average liberal not only KNOWS that he is intellectually superior to the average conservative, but the reason that he views you with such contempt.

I came to truly appreciate your cartoons during the three years I lived in Atlanta. I have now happily returned to my (blue) home state of California, but never miss your cartoons via the Web. I keep a number of my favorite “Mikes” on the refrigerator at home, and share them with many friends who never had the pleasure of seeing your work on a regular basis. Thanks so much for your insight and courage to publicly criticize the outrageous conduct of this administration, especially when you live and work in such a red state as Georgia. The reason “Bush’s true believer” critics blast you for constantly picking on their hero and his cronies is that there is SO MUCH to pick on, so it’s natural to give them a lot of coverage. As for the devotees of Rush and Bill O’Reilly who accuse you of being an unpatriotic terrorist sympathizer, I suggest they go back and look at your cartoon from 9/12/01 of the teary-eyed Lady Liberty watching the twin towers under attack. You clearly felt the pain that so many Americans felt and conveyed it so powerfully. I remember that image so vividly, it chokes me up just to think about it.

(B) You do not like the war in Iraq. Did you want that NICE Saddam still in power? We have won the war in Afghanistan and bin Laden is hiding behind a rock, no thanks to you. (C)You don’t support the War on Terror because Bush is running it. Strange that we have had no attacks here. Exactly how would YOU fight terror?(D)Read this forum and tell me some liberals don’t hate this country. rooth, for instance, called American “a third=world, banana republic dictatorship.”Oh yeah, true love for this country.

Dusty, TO address point A-D I can sum it up, IGNORANT. First, point A is crap. By not agreeing and being vocal we are excersing our 1st Amendment right as Americans, what the enemy DOES NOT want. Other than being a bunch of yes people (i.e. conservatives) we speak out. Second, we have NOT won any “war” in Afghanistan, bin Laden (you may remeber him from such features as the World Trade Center 1993 and the World Trade Center 2: 9/11) HE IS STILL OUT THERE!!! Also, we didnt have a single terrorist attack between 1993 and 2001 (you know thw Clinton years). To keep you fro sounding completely stupid you can NOT fight an enemy who is not afraid to die, sorry pal. Finally, some conservative hate this country too. To still buy oil from terrorist countries: UnAmerican, to support countries that violate human rights: UnAmerican, and to change the Constitution just to fit your agenda not only craps on the graves of the fallen men and women who defended it, it is also UnAmerican. So next time you are about to rant like a mindless conservative, get your facts right. But then again, that would be too American for the Republicans, wouldn’t it?

Hate to break it to you Steven but Nazis were right wing, despite what your propaganda channels tell you. This is historical fact. Look at the worst dictatorships of all time, they were all right wing. Can’t think of any that supported a democracy.

Also, part of Hitler’s plan for Germany was to attack the intellectuals. So keep at it, you are right on the right wing track.

And anyone who says that Reagan ended the communism control in Eastern Europe is insulting the Solidarity movement which shed real blood to rid the world of communism. Regardless of what your propaganda mongrels tell you, the Solidarity movement was left wing. But I guess you will just swallow all the right wing propaganda in fervent obedience.

I have a question for the conservatives. Why aren’t you all angry that we didn’t attack Saudi Arabia? After all, the people that hijacked the planes and flew them into the World Trade Center were Saudi. That’s like my neighbor sleeping with my wife, and me going and fight my other neighbor who did nothing but ogle my wife. Why aren’t you upset that Osama Bin Laden, who laughed and mocked the United States and all but didn’t wipe his behind with an American flag, hasn’t been captured? What happened to the dart boards with Osama’s picture on them? My, how fickle we as Americans are.

Hey Young, great analogy. Come on Conservatives, tell us. Where is the outrage against the Saudis and Osama? Don’t be shy now.

It’s what I’ve been asking my conservative friends for two years now. Where is Osama bin Laden? We’ve wasted $200 billion on the war in Iraq and killed off nearly 2,000 US soldiers, not to mention over 20,000 Iraqi civilians and for what?

Where is the person who was responsible for the 9-11 terrorist attacks?

I challenge any conservative to answer that question and I promise I’ll keep a straight face when I read your reply.

No I don’t. Keeping a stright face listening to a conservative is impossible.

Mike,

I really hope you do not think that president Bush does not care about the troops in Iraq. I look at your work and see someone that I think really has pure hate in his heart for this president. I understand that you have a job to do, but every now and then why not go after other people in the spotlight. I notice you do, do this, but please most of your work centers around president Bush. I think you have talent. Some of your work is wonderful. I have purchased some of your work and have it hanging in my office, but just from my point of view I really do not think using our soldiers in your cartoons is a good thing to do. I am friends with many soldiers. I have talked to them about Iraq. They have been in all stages of this fight we are in and they all tell me the same thing. We are making progress. We are changing things over in Iraq. I am not going to say I am not going to view your work any more, or any of the normal things people you get upset do, I am just going to say, next time leave out our fighting soldiers.

Um, one guess would be the First Amendment.

That is until Congress decides to do away with the rest of the Bill of Rights.

Thanks Dems and Repubs, for gutting the only thing that made our country great.
