Maybe she should read her own newspaper for an explanation of this thing she thinks Cruz invented:Ī Washington Post story from 2012 on Obama using his kids as a “political asset” in ads: /34FkcRQyzs So unless Telnaes was born on Saturday, there is no excuse for being ignorant of this. Telnaes is a Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist, so I’m surprised she didn’t know this, but something approaching 100 percent of all politicians feature family members in political ads. 1) All Politicians Put Their Families In Their Ads There are so many things wrong with Telnaes’ cartoon and the subsequent defense of it that it’s hard to know where to begin, but let’s just dig in. An example is the Bush kids drinking illegally is valid for example.As now realizes with perhaps some small regret, The Internet is forever. You leave kids out of this stuff unless they are making the news, or are a real valid story (which is almost never). My issue is that ti should never ever have happened at all. As for you "beating or a bullet" nonsense hyperbole much? I mean, I'm sure your kids would be much better off with you rotting in jail right? If you had read the article you would know the Washington post has apologized, and taken the cartoon down. Link works fine for me still.so no idea why it doesn't work for you. You know, I believe that I will vote for Donald after all. Leftist scum continues to walk all over good people, cry when anyone challenges them in any way, and right wing politicians continue to fold. If it were me, I would solve the problem real quick by publically (and truthfully) stating that an apology is mandatory and there is henceforth a beating or a bullet waiting for anyone who looks sideways at my family. Link seems to have a problem, but if true it is almost an astonishing double standard, even for the treasonous pravda media, considering the gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes they did when someone dared say that Obama's wife spent too much tax money on her trips. If his kids are off-limits, then why does he drag them into his campaign ads? He launched an 'emergency fund raiser' to ask people for a million dollars because his kids were in the cartoon. They posted the picture saying Cruz uses his kids as political props (Cruz uses them in his political ads), and when the cartoon was posted, he did just that. Tasteless from WaPo side, but what happened next proved WaPo point. I think the comments say what needs to be said. I argued that the people calling to limit speech in an effort to avoiding offending people - really are OK offending certain people. I had made this statement on another thread concerning the First Amendment. Under other, unspecified circumstances, Telnaes lectured that “here’s an an unspoken rule in editorial cartooning that a politician’s children are off-limits” since “eople don’t get to choose their family members so obviously it’s unfair to ridicule kids for their parent’s behavior while in office or on the campaign trail- besides, they’re children.” In attempting to explain her arguably racist GIF, Telnaes argued that because daughters Caroline and Catherine appeared in a humorous Christmas-themed ad, they have decided “to indulge in grown-up activities” and allowed their father to play them “as political props.” Disgusting: Washington Post Cartoonist Depicts Cruz Children as Toy Monkeys ‘They Are Fair Game’ Commenting on Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s daughters appearing in a campaign ad on Saturday, Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes created a disgusting GIF early Tuesday evening depicting Cruz’s young daughters as toy monkeys being played with and arguing that “hey are fair game.”
