Wanting your country to be plunged into a new editon of the Great Depression just because you hate liberals is this man's position. In fact hatred of liberals and minorities is a major organizing principle of the GOP. I wish we COULD argue issues on their merits. But that's not what's coming from him and his group. Alas. Thanks for liking the work. Steve Ah, there is hate here, I can smell it.

Great visual execution. Editorially it is very weak. Dismissing an opponents ideas merely with the accusation of "hate" is an adhominem attack. I know it is part of our standard rhetoric but wouldn't it be sharper to actually engage Limbaugh's ideas? My twelve year old daughter asked me what a "hater" is. I told her it used to be tied to crimes or act of aggression rooted in nothing but prejudice. Now, it means anyone who disagrees with me when I am not equipped to engage them at the level of the disagreement. Again - beautiful drawing but substance-less. This is a great visual image.
