<< THREE DAYS, THREE ACRES, 3001 MEN ~ MAIN ~ NIGERIAN MASSACRE >>

RICH DUCK SKETCHER DEFENDED

Zionists are leading a witch hunt against Michael Leunig, according to the World Socialist Web Site (“living off loans from our wealthier relatives since 1998!”). Leunig, they claim, is “a hate target of the local Zionist lobby.”

Well, see for yourself. These hateful Zionists want Leunig dead!

  1. Don’t they mean the global Zionist lobby?

  2. This “hate target” who produces such flowery artisitic efforts from his fairyland depicting the lives and loves of the Jews that even the Iranian regime has been touched by the fragrent messages emanating from his delicate fingers. How to explain this anatagonism?

  3. Hmm, I suppose it wasn’t intentional, stats,  but I like the way “artisitic” conveys the parasitic nature of many of today’s artists.

  4. Ah yes. The perfect strategy for any lobby.

    Conspire globally. Hate locally.

    The tried and trusted plan of the World Socialist Web since 1907. As well as living off others for as long as they can bear it.

  5. The witch-hunt against Leunig constitutes a fundamental attack on democratic rights. The cartoonist has been a principled and consistent opponent of social inequality, fascism and war—a rare figure in the corporate controlled media.

    Dissent = “witch-hunt”. 

    Nihilism and anti-semitism = “principled and consistent opponent of social inequality, fascism and war”.

    I see the socialists haven’t lost their touch in relativism and equivocation.

  6. Can’t wait for the next Leunig cartoon.  1st. frame of a sole Jew facing a Nazi propoganda poster.  2nd. frame - same person but the Jew is replaced by Leunig.

  8. These baseless slanders against Leunig are based on a simple technique—the crude amalgam.

    Duck feathers and mercury.

  9. I love the “About WSWS” section.  Their movement is from a Marxist perspective and how they love “honest debate” so long as it’s from a anti-capitalist perspective.  Debate all you want as long as you agree with us on fundamental issues.  Otherwise it’s sod off swampy.

    My one regret is that they don’t give a true links section to sympathetic organizations.  My guess is that you would find most of the enviornmental organizations linked.  Kyoto lives here.  The watermellon people-green on the outside and red on the inside.

  10. #3 PW: Correct, it was unintentional. I meant to write “artisistic”. However, “anatagonism” was intentional, although not very expressive.

  11. For God’s sake, Leunig should just man up.  What a whiny little biatch he has turned out to be, now that the shoe is on the other foot.

  12. What do you means loans from wealthier relatives? Loans get repaid. These guys just sponge off wealthier relatives.

  13. As a witch, I am violently offended at the WSWS’ application of the term to monotheists.  I shall pencil in some rioting and burning for next Tuesday, around noonish.

  14. While Canberra has made no official comment on Leunig, there is no doubt that it would like the cartoonist pulled into line.


    Also Goulburn and Bungendore

  18. Leunig: “I think if a cartoonist is representing the government line on Iraq, they’re nothing better than a propagandist.”

    but if you take the government line of Hamas/Iran or Saddam Hussein then you’re a public interlecktual

    Warning! Warning! Dr. Smith! Danger!

    MM - You should think twice about making such lucid, rational contributions.  After all, Donkey Kong, DBO, bongoman etc might be trolling and their brains could very-well melt upon reading such a statement.

  20. I have always depended on the kindness of trolls - and where the bloody hell are they?

  21. #13 Achillea,
    Why not just cast a spell on them?  Turn them into newts or something.  Just make sure they don’t get better, please.

    Now, now, Margo’s Maid, don’t tease the trolls through the bars.

    It’s funny how these Socialists can see parrotting the antisemitism of the Nazis, which is also so popular with the Islamofascists, as courageously standing up to fascism.

    I get rather tired of these ridiculous paeans to the nonexistent courage of people like Leunig or similar clowns in the US.  Everybody knows perfectly well that these scum are in no danger at all from their own goverments.  Nor do they risk being murdered like Theo van Gogh.  They can be as offensive as they like and no one will come for them at four AM, nor stick a knife in their chests.  Yet these people act as apologists for regimes where the secret police do come, where cartoonists and writers are imprisoned, and they hate those who are fighting against these regimes.  I want no more of the hyposrisy of these swinish leftists.

    Before or after lunch?  And will there be any expensive wine?
