Stunned by the latest news that one of the Funky Winkerbean comic characters had died, Air America immediately placed the blame on American Conservatives.
“I haven’t read the comic yet, but I’m sure that the character dies at the hand of some crazy rightwing Dittohead Drooling member of Bushco”, bleated radio host Jon Elliott. Unfortunately, he was unable to continue his rant as he was choking on his own bile.
The Daily Kos joined in the chorus denouncing all conservatives as hate filled sickos who will stop at nothing to destroy the America they love. Said Kos, “This is what I hate about conservatives! They won’t think twice about stooping so low as to knock off a beloved cartoon character. The character had children and loved ones! Do they not care about that?”
The Senate moved quickly on this complaint. Harry Reid and other leading Senate Democrats drafted a letter condemning the actions of the right, Rush Limbaugh, and Halliburton. Said one Reid staffer, “This reminds me of the horrible violent attack on radio host Randi Rhodes.” Randi Rhodes was the Air America talent who tripped on the sidewalk due to an accident involving the simultaneous use of two feet and the chewing of bubble gum. Sources have tried to locate the rightwing culprit behind that awful attack.
Although there are some reports that the Funky Winkerbean character died of breast cancer, they have yet to be substantiated as nobody at any news source reads the newspaper.
More on this as it develops.
To quote the first reference,
“You are a man who seems to be without any idea of the pain (you) are inflicting,” wrote one grandmother on TheCancerBlog.com. “You do not have the right to put this horror in a family newspaper.”
Terrible death, destruction, muggings, horrible accidents… Duck, where’s your sensitivity?
Gary Trudeau should do the same for everyone in “Doonesbury”…
I love it – it sounds just like those idiots over at Air America. They were seriously blaming the vast right wing conspiracy for Randi Rhodes’ “mugging”:
“I live near that neighborhood, and it’s a safe place. People don’t just get mugged there. And she didn’t even have her purse! It’s the right-wing wackos trying to eliminate any opposing view points!!!”
Stupid libtards.
“Randi Rhodes was the Air America talent who tripped on the sidewalk due to an accident involving the simultaneous use of two feet and the chewing of bubble gum.”
Heh.. awesome.
I’m sure it was Haliburton that gave the character cancer as some part of the mad scientist experiments they carry out on unsuspecting liberals. Dastardly Rascals.
You guys here at IMAO make me so mad I just want to stomp my tiny little feet and go have butt sex with a man…any man… DKOS!!!
I bet they didn’t give a Damn when Captain America died
I’m gonna call BS on this. Anyone that has ever heard of Randi Rhodes know that Talent is a adjective that could never be used to describe her or her actions. Please amend this horrible twisting of the truth.
Clearly, we need to expand healthcare to include comic strip characters.
If you’ve ever read Peanuts, then you know Pigpen is a walking petri dish.
Won’t somebody please think of the comic strip children?
