Enough of Barstow. Let’s talk about Carreon! his blog rant about PopeHat being a character-assasinating guy who loves to gossip about others… and what are you doing in that blog post, Charles?

Which is horribly unfair thing to say about the country that leads the industrialized nations of the world in toaster-related deaths.

Any stats on toaster-related deaths?

She also implies that America’s adherence to jus soli is a matter of policy.
It is not. It’s enshrined in the Constitution, not something we change casually. The last amendment to the Constitution literally took 200 years to pass. We’re not going to do it over a trivial matter like “anchor babies.”

I can’t. There’s every chance I might bump into my kid. We don’t want to see each other in that state…

I’d like to say I’m surprised how few of the comments actually address the issue at the center of the article–that reproduction in whole of a cartoon for the purposes of criticism is Fair Use. Unfortunately, the BB commenters, like most of the general public, seem to think that someone’s rights are dependent upon her political opinions.
I suspect BB commenters all pretty much assume that reproduction in full of a cartoon for the purpose of criticism is Fair Use (as do I). I don’t think Barstow’s political opinion is the factor suppressing that discussion.

She’s been at this since at least 2009.
It’s worse than that.
The 14th amendment which gives citizenship at birth is also the amendment used as the basis for unlimited corporate donations to political causes.
There’s no way politicians will sacrifice this cash cow by repealing it no matter how much they talk about doing so to strum up votes. Babies can rest easy.

Care to provide an example of a conservative critic of liberal/lefty/progressive/socialist comics being brought up on DMCA for said criticism and being ignored or lambasted by BB and the happy mutants?

Two quick points: a) all the cartoons I read sucked b) I stopped looking at them b/c I was too lazy to click another link just to see another cartoon that sucked.

I’m really quite fond of the way Ken starts the article -
You should never get in a shit-throwing contest with a flock of flying monkeys.
Words to live by.

Actually, it’s a lot more like, “Oh look! She’s being an asshole, and we can think of one way to annoy her.” The fact that her ideas are bad and she should feel bad is entirely a bonus.

A shit-throwing contest against a flock of monkeys would be a bad idea. I suppose if they’re on your team, it’s a good thing.
They’re single-panel cartoons, not epic scholarly dissertations. You can’t meaningfully quote them except “in full.”

Man, I’d forgotten how totally evil and insane Charles Carreon is. It’s weird to think that since the Inman fiasco, we’ve all been living our lives, and he’s been being a vengeful, hateful prat.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the citizenship revoked of every “American” with ancestry from somewhere else. It would make for a very different country; the country Tecumseh fought for 200 years ago.
