It should be called the ABQ Deplorable.

Hate filled racist and nonsensical.

It's accidentally genius

The "accidentally genius" part is the window into the minds of these racist shitstains.

The cartoonist figures he's just throwing out some red meat to keep Republicans churning...

But anyone with the eyes to see can read that toon, see the symbols (the black cats,the rats, the crow), follow the dialog and truly get a glimpse at the fear and loathing that colors every facet of what passes for thought among the lot of them.

Hateful because of their fears, fearful because of their ignorance and ignorant because they choose the easy answer that agrees with what they already believe.

pitting people against people.

seandelonas@aol.com. Let him know how you feel..

That right there tells me everything I need to know about him.

#2 would be to complain to the paper, but the best would be to reference the cartoon in going after the paper's advertisers.

I just googled up that little factoid. With newspapers fading from the American scene, its kinda beyond stupid for the publisher to deliberately decide that promoting a racist ideology that appeals to white supremacists, and alienating almost half their potential customer base, would be good for business. The paper is not only insulting their own subscribers, but the advertisers who paid for that large readership who might see their ads.

n/t.

so in my post, too.

We let the the subscription lapse last month but were reconsidering as my husband loves the sports page and generally the routine of grabbing the paper each morning and reading before work etc.

But seeing this disgraceful display of racism seals our decision. We won't resubscribe to the ABQ Journal.

This will only get worse and worse as more of these cretins feel like they have been empowered by the current resident of the White House.

Hard to believe they could get away with that in a state with such a large Hispanic population.

My god, that’s some ugly art.

he's got a phone number listed at that link.

sounds like they would lose subscribers and advertisers because of this. Dems have the majority of voter registrations there and advertisers might want to keep their customers.

And it doesn't make any sense. Dreamers lose DACA protection if they commit a crime. Crime is still bad when committed by Americans. Why is there a guy standing to the side with a sword and dynamite? After MS-13 robs the nice white people a terrorist will blow himself up in a dark alley at night?

How they get away with that?

Jeez...

to sniff the artist's basement for buried corpses. The guy's an obvious sicko.

Who on earth authorized that? Looks like something you'd expect to see on Breitbart.

Even in my wildest imagination, I wouldn't have come up with that explanation.

Too bad .. had they been wanted to be "future Republicans" ..they would not be having any of these problems.

especially since NM has so many good people incl. noted Hispanic population.

Beautiful state, we've visited Alb., Santa Fe, Taos and the mountains many times.

gone out of its way to normalize Trump. It's republican owned but they have gone too far IMO.
I mostly just read the comics and the sports page. Front section is terrible.

...but it bothers me that we're displaying these cartoons on DU.
I wouldn't want anyone to think that we espouse this trash.

Shouldn't there be some kind of banner over the trashy cartoons, telling people that "we don't approve?"

Just sayin'

But, I think people need to know what we're up against and to what extent it is being mainstreamed.

The subject line called it out for what it was.

... and tell them, "Look what they're posting on Democratic Underground these days."
I'm not talking about our members doing it, other people come here too.
We can't predetermine their motives either.

The haters are going to do what they want and twist things anyway.

rachel@msnbc.com

But the reference to "future Democrats" is too extreme for a mainstream newspaper. (The Journal is Albuquerque's main newspaper and has NM's biggest circulation.)

This cartoon is what passes as humor to conservatives and it belongs on the NRA's web site or on those dark, skanky white-is-right web sites or Breitbart or something. But, not in the Journal.

The Abq Journal does have a somewhat conservative editorial page, but it's otherwise a pretty clean paper news-wise. I'm surprised they'd run something like this, even in the op-ed section.

If the cartoon was of African-Americans and depicted them as all belonging to a gang (“honey they prefer to be called dreamers...not bloods” etc) wouldn’t that be an overt and obvious display of racism?

Much more realistic.

now weirdly beloved by the alt-right because he spends part of every single show criticizing daca people in creepy racist ways.

I hope the people of ALB boycott this paper

.. This is fucking Stupid Racism and should get a monster Backlash.

Where is this paper.. anyone know?

Never mind..

From a technical standpoint, this guy is really not too bad. Maybe the editors were busy, and they keyed in on how his cartoons look instead of their actual content.

How someone with such artistic ability could also be such a huge douchebag is something that escapes me. Art springs from empathy. I have never been able to figure out how Richard Wagner could have composed his music. I love Wagner's music and detest him as a person at the same time.

I live in the town where Lee Atwater grew up, if that gives you any idea of what the local newspaper is like.

The paper has always been right wing.
We've had a GOP city administration, GOP led city council,
and GOP Governor for the past eight years.

hoping we get a dem governor in 2019.
