But as of this evening, the cartoon has been removed from his website.
Of course, leave it to me to make sure I've got a copy for your perusal, so you can see that it was, indeed, over the line.

Danziger's been sending out a form letter to anyone who complains about the cartoon, as Tony over at Red Mind in a Blue State found out.
Thanks for your letter.If the tables were turned, and Rice were a LIBERAL black woman, he wouldn't dare put anything of the sort there.In fact the idea for the cartoon was suggested to me by a friend who is African-American. It wasn't racist. Nor am I. I have been doing this for nearly thirty years, and any review of my work will prove that no racism attaches. Further, I am a decorated Vietnam veteran who voted for Nixon once, GHW Bush twice and even for Bob Dole. So keep your labels.
Nothing racist about it at all. Just the standard lies told by a political operative, out of her depth, who happens to be African- American. Whenever this administration is in trouble they send out Condi Rice because the press, which is mostly white and male, gives her a far easier treatment than they would a white male.
Yet another double-standard for black conservatives at work. It's OK to toss racist rhetoric at a black conservative, but Katie bar the door if you do the same to a black liberal.
Just damn.

I support George Bush and I believe that the Black vote will push him over the top. I also believe that this yearÂ’s October surprise will be the Black community standing up for righteousness and justice. High impact African-American churches are creating high impact leaders who are developing high impact congregations that are changing their communities. These high impact Black Christians are more likely to read their Bibles and practice the spiritual disciplines of prayer, fasting, or worship than their White, Hispanic, or other ethnic counterparts.The article also points out that three other prominent black evangelists are also supporting Bush: Bishop Wellington Boone, Apostle Kimberly Daniels and Bishop Larry Jackson.Black pastors are beginning to speak out and Black members of multi-cultural churches are ready to make a difference in their world.
In my view, God has been preparing the heart of President Bush to take a radical stand for social justice in his next term. This could be the beginning of the development of a "kingdom agenda" instead of a limited "conservative" versus "liberal" approach to the woes of our society. The current political labels have led to bitter divisions that do not serve the nationÂ’s best interests.

In it, he includes his reasons for voting FOR President Bush, and not to vote for Senator Kerry. He also poses some questions for people to ponder.
I know the hurt we feel (and have felt for hundreds of years). I am aware of the blatant racism the Republican Party has condoned (and in some cases still condones). My reasons for the stance taken in this position statement have little to do with racism but they do have much to do with race.I'm sure that Jesse Jackson and company will denounce any black man that dares to make statements such as these.
I will vote for the reelection of President George W. Bush because:
1. He is pro-marriage. He believes marriage is between a man and a woman.
2. He is pro-life. He believes that the killing of unborn, helpless, innocent children is wrong.
3. He is willing domestically to stand for what God stands for (Faith-based initiatives prove this).
4. He has a Black woman in the White House (and she is not a maid).
5. He has a Black man as Secretary of State (and he is not a "Tom").
6. He has a Black man as Secretary of Education (and he is not a "figurehead").
7. He has stood by (not fired) those high profile Black cabinet members.
8. He believes that "No Child Should Be Left Behind".
9. He has publicly honored God and welcomed the representatives of God.
10. He is willing internationally to stand for what God stands for (against sinful UN initiatives).
11. He cares about being right (though, [as all human beings] he is sometimes wrong).
12. He welcomes and seeks the advice of God's people
I will not vote for Mr. John Kerry because:
1. He claims he is for marriage but he won't stand against the proposed abuses of it.
2. He claims he is against abortion but he won't stand against the uses of it.
3. He does change his stated positions often.
4. He claims to be Catholic but he won't stand for what the Catholic Church stands for.
5. He tries to accommodate the sinful agendas of some Democrats and thus weakens his moral stance.
6. He tried to run on his Vietnam "record" and not on his Senate record.
7. He does not seem to have a clear view of where he thinks America should be going.
Now, my answer to Black intellectuals (who think I'm just a stupid Southerner whose mind was never freed from the shackles of slavery):
1. Some of you are willing to sell your souls for money and position (and have done so).
2. Some of you have adopted the position of those who hate Jesus, Jews and Americans.
3. Some of you are too ignorant to realize that we "got where were are" on Grandma's and Grandpa's prayers.
4. Many of you no longer believe in God.
5. Many of you say you are Christians but won't stand for what God stands for (in His Holy Word).
6. Many of you are pushing the "gay marriage" agenda (or you are "silent" about it).
7. Many, many, many of you are "silent" about the horrors of abortion.
8. Many of you are supporting all the "cussing" and moral decadence many black artists are espousing and exporting.
9. Many of you refuse to hear the truth (whether it's told by preachers or Bill Cosby).
10. Many of you have finally "arrived" and have now forgotten God.
11. Some of you have been tricked into believing that God is "White" or is the "White Man's God".
12. Some of you have no interest in an integrated, peaceful America.
Now, my statement to Racist Republicans
1. God cares zero, zip, zilch about your color.
2. Racism is demonic, ignorant, stupid, and counterproductive.
3. The White Man is NOT "more intelligent", so forget it.
4. Here we come and we "ain't sitting in the back of the bus" (no thanks to you).
5. The Holy Bible says that "God is no respecter of persons".
6. Your racism is a drag on the Republican Party.
7. We will help you be delivered (if you let us).
How will the reelection of President Bush help Blacks?
1. Black men are already scarce (we sure don't need "gay marriage")
2. All over the world Black people are dying (we sure don't need abortion).
3. It is only by the Grace of God that we are still here (we sure don't need an un-Godly America).
4. President Bush will keep Blacks in his administration (I believe).
5. Faith-based initiatives are better (for us) than are sin-based initiatives.
6. For too long our children have been "left behind". We need "No Child Left Behind".
7. We, of all people, truly need a Godly man in the White House.

The debates are increasingly becoming irrelevant in the overall scheme of things; they are becoming an opportunity for the candidates to rip on each other personally.That being said, I think President Bush came out with a slight edge over Senator Kerry.
This debate, being more in tone and structure to the first debate than the second, included questions primarily geared toward domestic policy.
Kerry came out swinging the talking points that he has played with continually as this campaign has moved forward.
Bush pointed out the inaccuracies and contradictions in Kerry's record over the past 20 years in Congress.
Kerry continued his mantra: "I have a plan."
If I had a dollar for every time Kerry claimed to have this nebulous "plan," I'd be filthy rich.
Ratings for the debate are expected to be down, as the ALCS and NLCS are running on Fox and Fox Sports Net.

The Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium where the debates will be held was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and coincidentally, was the building whose design was used by Wright for the design of the Baghdad Opera House.
CBS News veteran Bob Schieffer will moderate a debate that will be very much, procedurally, like the first debate. Schieffer will sit at the moderator's position in front of the two candidates, who will stand at podiums 10 feet apart.
For those who cannot get to a television set, live streams will be available on the web in multiple places, including C-Span (RP) and BBC World (WMP) online.
Live blogging is running all over the frazzlin' place; as with the other debates, I'll most likely be adding my two cents in over on Free Republic's live message thread.
Post-game coverage to come later on.

Chris has gone through some major personal trials and tribulations lately.
I told him he should take as much time as he needs. We'll still be here when he gets back.

There's a guy up front talking about Bush,etc. and I'm ignoring him because it's a meeting. Then he starts really getting animated, talking loud with very anti-white rhetoric, very anti-Western rhetoric. I hold up my hand and ask him (very nicely) when is he going to be finished and help return control to the person running the meeting. A older gentleman mentions the crisis in Ethiopia, Sudan and how he travelled extensively in Africa and was about to mention Zimbabwe and the same idiot up front goes PROFITABLE FOR WHO? Then launches into a tirade against Western Civilization,etc. The self hating white idiot sitting next to him is AGREEING WITH HIM and the black lady sitting next to me is muttering that she didn't come here to get a lecture (from the man up front). I really couldn't keep my mouth shut anymore and said in a firm voice 'You're talking about this crap, and look how you're manipulating the conversation, what the hell do you know about Africa? That guy has been there, and you haven't'.What I don't understand is the unmitigated hatred and scorn that the left heaps upon anyone who is conservative, or supports the right.Well I thought he was going to leap over the chairs and strangle me. I wasn't going to sit there and allow him to continue to INSULT the United States of America by saying people struggling to come here are WRONG. I wasn't going to stand for the anti-white rhetoric, and someone HAD to stand up to this man. Ordinarily I would have walked out but volunteering means I get into this very expensive expo free and would mean a lot of business opportunities for me. I wasn't about to let this leftist wacko filth deprive me of the golden opportunities by walking out of the meeting. I sat there though as he continued to insult me to his other friends up front.
Meanwhile, the older gentleman walked out of the room but not before he gave me a little wink and thumbs up.
Even my volume of hate mail is increasing in intensity and venom. I don't get it.

From Nykola.com:
I realize that there are ugly sides to both sides of this political game. However, I find that the continual return to the small percentage of psychotic abortion clinic bombers as the rule and not the exception gets old. However, the "lovely-ness" of Liberals is rarely displayed or re-hashed in such a repetitive and vast fashion.But we're supposed to be the "evil" guys, right?I received the following email and photo from a reader.
Ambra,They managed to take out his front window as well. Who knew the doctrine of "tolerance" has loopholes. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.
I thought you like to see what a nasty Kerry fan did to the windshield and side window of my car this weekend. Attacking the encouraging hate sign that way is particularly revealing. I think his scheme backfired though. Now people walking down my busy street are even more likely to stop and stare.

If you remember, Ted Rall had a racist cartoon that offended many, and was the source of a protest letter that I sent to Rall's syndicator, United Features, back in July.

I don't know what makes these racist leftists think that it's OK, simply because their target happens to be a conservative. What's wrong is wrong. What's racist is racist. Period.
Wanna give Danziger and his syndicator, the New York Times Syndicate, a piece of your mind?

The decomposed body of Michael Moore, 49, was discovered facedown in a patch of 6-foot-tall grass between the Whitestone Expressway and the Cross Island Parkway in Malba, cops and witnesses said. He was about 10 feet from the southbound lane of the parkway, which carries more than 100,000 vehicles every day.Moore, a motorcycle-riding bus driver, had been missing for the past 40 days.Moore's beloved green-and-black Kawasaki Ninja was nearby, cops and witnesses said.
Damn. I feel for his family.
Although one can wish that it was Fatass, I doubt that there is a moving bike that could support the weight of his fat butt, let alone a helmet that could fit his fat head.

A statement said the two were killed by the Ansar al-Sunnah Army, which claimed responsibility for slaughtering 12 Nepalese workers and three Iraqi Kurds on Aug. 31.Stills and video of the beheadings are available (WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES & VIDEO) at The Jawa Report.Also Monday, the Arabic language television station Al-Arabiya broadcast a video showing three hooded gunmen threatening to behead another Turkish hostage within three days unless the Americans release all Iraqi prisoners and all Turks leave Iraq.
A written statement appearing on the Internet video accused the Iraqi Kurdish translator, Luqman Hussein, of participating in raids with U.S. troops in the Ramadi area. A second statement said the Turkish contractor, Maher Kemal, was working for the Americans at an air base north of the capital.

John Kerry has been painting himself as heroic and "angry" during the events on 9/11. A BBC documentary, recently aired on Public Television in the US, showing the events of 9/11 in several areas, including on Capitol Hill. Footage of John Kerry's 'as it happens' reactions is also shown in this documentary.Last night my local PBS showed two documentaries about 9/11/01.This is the same John Kerry who has been jumping up and down about President Bush not reacting for six minutes as he sat in a classroom full of grade school students (and repeating the mantra of "Bush is dumb" that Michael Moore has been trying to forcefeed onto the American public).The first was about NY and the second about PA and DC.
In the raw footage shot that horrible day they showed the Capitol building being evacuated.
Hundreds of people were struggling to get down those massive stairs. You saw EVERYONE helping eachother- like the elderly or women who were wearing high heels, etc.
Then the camera switched position and the vantage point was of a side staircase next to the main one. Who comes out but John Kerry.
He was dressed in an immaculate dark blue suit with a matching powder blue pocket handkerchief and silk tie. Not a hair on his overly-coiffed head was out of place.
Now remember- this was filmed while the Pentagon was in flames, three years ago...the camera man did not film John Kerry "The Candidate" he was showing some guy coming out the door...
Well our friend the hero John Kerry looks over at the crowd, shrugs his arms a bit, looks around as if to see if anyone is looking- and BOLTS down the side stairs! He didn't help a single soul! ( I guess no one was drowning)
Meanwhile- Donald Rumsfeld was ignoring his Secret Service detail so he could help carry the injured out of the burning Pentagon.
I'm immediately reminded of "brave" Sir Robin from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as portrayed in that legendary motion picture by Eric Idle.
Brave Sir Robin ran away, bravely ran away away. When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.Sounds like Ketchup Boy beat a hasty retreat, which has been caught on tape.

We were treated, not once but twice, to the same clip of Reeve from the 1996 Democratic National Convention, saying "America does not let its neediest fend for themselves," as a man in a wheelchair looked on. Got it.And we're supposed to be the "bad guys?"Just in case anyone was still wondering where Chris was coming from, here was a clip of him saying "it gets lonely sometimes to say 'come on, let's get more progressive.'" Yes, that's the problem with America. Not liberal enough.
The message could not have been made too much clearer. Honor Chris Reeve: vote Democrat!

Clark: "Uh, not really, no."
Indeed. Rest well, Chris...

Christopher Reeve
1952-2004
From Dan Jurgens' legendary Superman #75 (1992):
"But most will remember this sad day as the day the proudest, most noble man they ever knew finally fell. For those who loved him -- one who would call him husband, one who would be his pal, or those who would call him son -- this is the darkest day they could ever imagine. They raised him to be a hero: to know the value of sacrifice, to know the value of life. And for those who served with Superman in the protection of all life comes the shock of a failure: the weight of being too late to help. For a city to live, a man had given his all and more. But it's too late. For this is the day that a Superman died."

Today's New York Post includes an editorial that finds it unfathomable that bias against the GOP by the mainstream media is as open and as blatant as it is during this election cycle.Though many in the press deny this bias, Newsweek editor Evan Thomas all but confessed the bias on this week's edition of PBS' Inside Washington.
"The media, I think, wants Kerry to win. And I think they're going to portray Kerry and Edwards — I'm talking about the establishment media, not Fox — as being young and dynamic and optimistic, and there's going to be this glow about them, collective glow."A memo from ABC News Political Editor Mark Halpern surfaced on The Drudge Report on Friday. Halpern's memo, to the chagrin of ABC, all but told reporters to be harder on Bush than on Kerry.
An internal memo written by ABCNEWS Political Director Mark Halperin admonishes ABC staff: During coverage of Democrat Kerry and Republican Bush not to "reflexively and artificially hold both sides 'equally' accountable."This rings true when you look back at ABC News over the course of the past year, most notably at their daily political news column, The Note, back on February 10.The controversial internal memo obtained by DRUDGE, captures Halperin stating how "Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win."
But Halperin claims that Bush is hoping to "win the election by destroying Senator Kerry at least partly through distortions."
Like every other institution, the Washington and political press corps operate with a good number of biases and predilections.The overriding evidence shows that ABC News obviously has a liberal agenda, geared toward removing the current Administration from office by any means necessary, and they won't hesitate to use underhanded and unethical means to do so.They include, but are not limited to, a near-universal shared sense that liberal political positions on social issues like gun control, homosexuality, abortion, and religion are the default, while more conservative positions are "conservative positions."
It still has a hard time understanding how, despite the drumbeat of conservative grass-top complaints about overspending and deficits, President Bush's base remains extremely and loyally devoted to him -- and it looks for every opportunity to find cracks in that base.
More systematically, the press believes that fluid narratives in coverage are better than static storylines; that new things are more interesting than old things; that close races are preferable to loose ones; and that incumbents are destined for dethroning, somehow.

The Democratic presidential nominee attended two church services Sunday, instead of his usual one, worshipping first with Haitian Catholics and then with Baptists, where the Rev. Jesse Jackson (news - web sites) and Al Sharpton (news - web sites) tied his election to the civil rights struggle.Kerry continued to preach to the false mantra of black disenfranchisement in Florida, a spectre which was initially raised in the midst of the 2000 election fiasco."We have an unfinished march in this nation," Kerry said at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, as many congregants waved fans handed out by the campaign with his slogan, "Hope is on the way."
"Never again will a million African Americans be denied the right to exercise their vote in the United States of America," Kerry promised, referring to the disputed Florida recount in the 2000 presidential race. As he often does before black audiences, Kerry said he has a legal team that will aggressively respond to any allegations of disenfranchisement.
Jackson, Sharpton and US Rep Carrie Meek (D-FL) spoke at the church services in support of Kerry while deriding President Bush and those who support him.
Jackson told worshippers their political concerns are issues that touch their everyday lives, not gay marriage.While I have ancestors did pick cotton, they did so in order for me to think for myself; to move forward and make my own decisions -- not have Jesse Jackson and his cronies (up to and including John Kerry) make my decisions for me."I see disturbing signs today that some of our churches have been confused by wolves in sheep's clothing," Jackson said. "How did someone else put their agenda in the front of the line?"
"November 2, the power is in your hands, hands that once picked cotton," Jackson said.

Two men who ripped down and urinated on a Bush/Cheney campaign sign were caught on tape -- literally -- Friday morning.The videotape shows the men sneaking into the yard of a West Market Street home and bending the sign to the ground. The men struggled to rip the sign out of the ground by shaking it and pulling it but couldn't get it off the posts, so they knocked it down. Sounds heard on the tape suggest the men urinated on the sign. They were white males, about 30 to 35 years old, well-dressed and well-groomed. They parked across the street in what police think was a foreign car, a Toyota or Honda.The vandalizing video of the "wanted water-makers" is available on the web (.MOV) for your sampling.The homeowner, Steve Kotsatos, who is also assistant to the director of the Summit County Board of Elections, called Akron police dispatchers at 10:38 a.m. Friday and told them about how his campaign sign was vandalized.
He said he caught the vandals on a night-vision camera he had installed the day before.
The large 4-by-8-foot, red, white and blue sign was tipped over in Kotsatos' yard about 1 a.m. Friday.
John Kerry's name was scrawled across Bush's name in black marker on one side of the sign -- the work of previous vandals, Kotsatos said.

Earthquake activity is up once again at Mt. St. Helens in southern Washington state, but according to geologists, there is no reason to raise the volcanic alert level -- at present.Scientists said earthquake activity had been low until Friday, indicating molten rock was moving upward with little resistance. By Saturday, however, quakes of magnitude 2.4 were occurring every one to two minutes, they said.Some people are speculating that a blast rivalling the 1980 eruption that killed 57 people. Scientists with the US Geological Survey are discounting that possibility at present. But they are keeping an eye on the seismograph and on the summit of the volcano."It's at levels equal to or higher than the Oct. 5 steam and ash eruption," said Jeff Wynn, the U.S. Geological Survey's chief scientist for volcano hazards at Vancouver.
A bubble on the south side of the dome has also risen to at least 330 feet since scientists first spotted it on Sept. 30 and is now almost as tall as the dome's 1,000-foot summit, said USGS geologist John Pallister.

Mr Howard, 65, is now guaranteed a decade in power, unless he retires early, and will become the nation's second-longest serving prime minister behind Liberal Party founder Sir Robert Menzies.Howard's conservative government was among the first to join the "Coalition of the Willing" in working to root out terrorism around the globe. Australia is an integral part of the war on terror, and an ally I'm glad we have on our side.Opposition Leader Mark Latham phoned Mr Howard to congratulate him on his victory at about 9:30pm (AEST).
Mr Howard claimed victory about an hour later after winning a swing to the government in all states.
"I am truly humbled by this extraordinary expression of confidence in the leadership of this great nation by the coalition," he told cheering supporters in Sydney.
"In accepting their charge to lead the nation I rededicate myself and all of my colleagues to the service of the Australian people."

At more than one point, it looked like a case of "who can insult who better," though.
Ultimately, I think Bush won this debate; he brought forth more points, he connected more with the audience as a whole.
Kerry fell into the trap of repeating himself over and over again (much as Bush did last week). He looked far more nervous, and much less comfortable than he did during last week's debate.
I was pleasantly surprised that Kerry didn't bring up Vietnam -- someone close to Kerry is obviously telling him to dummy up about Vietnam and concentrate on THIS century.
Finally, that last question regarding Bush's "mistakes" was a Democratic set-up, if there was one.
