1. Who is Mr. Fish and what earns him the right to put twisted words into Dr. King's mouth?

Please and thank you very much.

2. 1. Editorial cartoonist, 2. Ratification of Bill of Rights (12/15/1791)

:shrug:

3. Exactly. It's shameful.

[patrice]

4. My thoughts exactly. It would be like me saying I speak for MLK . . .

wow

[Usrename]

26. In his own words then:

5. And what, exactly, is with that other weird-ass profile behind him?? creepy!

[Octafish]

19. That represents a silhouette of Coretta Scott King.

Like her husband, she was tops.

[hootinholler]

23. And appears to be in the foreground as well.

Thank you, I was trying to place the silhouette.

15. He's a guy who defended Helen Thomas's anti-semitism.

Just another piece of shit with a pen.

[n2doc]

20. As opposed to one with a keyboard HFPS? n/t

[Octafish]

21. Are you going to keep smearing Helen Thomas forever?

Save yourself some time:

The Ambush of Helen Thomas - "Any Better Comments?"

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

22. It's not my fault that Helen Thomas is an anti-semitic bigot.

Nor is it my fault worthless pieces of shit like Mr. Fish stuck their foot in their mouths by trying to defend her.

[hootinholler]

17. Mr. Fish is an artist

The best art garners the strongest reactions. This piece IMHO is an outstanding example.

BTW, the message is not inconsistent with the clarity Dr King gave us in life.

6. Mr. Fish would now have all his posts deleted and be banned from DU.

Sad, since his work is so brilliant.

[patrice]

7. Says you.

[Smashcut]

8. Ah I see.

Under the bus with him too.

[patrice]

9. Also says you, oh all seeing, all knowing one. I guess I should just bow to your omniscience.

[Smashcut]

11. Well, glad that's sorted

:evilgrin:

[patrice]

13. Please respond to the critique: you need to establish your omniscience.

Humor is such a common dodge.

[Smashcut]

14. Okay.

I resorted to humor actually to allow you to save face.

Since it is you, not I, who is displaying your arrogance by trying to censor viewpoints with which you don't agree. Simple enough?

29. +1000

[Ignis]

24. THIS is a "critique" worthy of a reasoned response?

Also says you, oh all seeing, all knowing one. I guess I should just bow to your omniscience.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

10. Brilliant. K&R

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. Ditto.

[Catherina]

12. Brilliant. Excellent Mr Fish.

As a Black woman, I cringe to see how Dr King's legacy and words were twisted to support an agenda that goes against what Dr King was working on when he was assassinated.

Bravo Mr. Fish. Under the bus with you now.

[4_TN_TITANS]

16. Make room under the bus for me too.

Mr. Fish isn't trying to speak for Dr.King, just trying to make us think, as with all his toons. I appreciate his out-of-the box perspectives.

[JuniperLea]

25. Wow... someone is full of themselves...

I don't care if you agree or disagree with the sentiment... putting words into a dead man's mouth is beyond the pale. It just couldn't be more wrong.

[mike_c]

27. automatic rec for Mr. Fish, one of the best political cartoonists in America....

Seems to have found a nerve with this one, LOL!

[asdjrocky]

28. He had me right up to "police the entire world."

We're not the cops, we're the robbers.

[asdjrocky]

30. Thank God for Mr Fish.

I have him on my wall.
