The issue isn't one of liberal vs conservative and which one is okay to
poke fun at. The issue is that this is SAA - about Astronomy. The cartoon
was about Astronomy. I would love for us to go back to the Moon. But, Bush
has no real intention of doing so. It's strictly political. Anybody - the
President, a Senator, a liberal - who is going to trash the Hubble (because
it has no clear purpose) because he says we should go to the moon (did Bush
ever say why exactly we should?) deserves to be lampooned.
Again, the original was Astronomy related. Your reply was not. That's why
so many posters have reacted strongly to your opinion.

Thanks for your support! It appears that the majority of this group is
liberal, and that's okay with me, as "some of my best friends are
liberal.":-) Nevertheless, it's okay for one of the liberals to poke fun
at
Bush or the administration. After all, "Bush Whacking" is good, clean fun
and perfectly acceptable among liberals. However, if one has the audacity
to poke fun back at the liberals, he is accused of having a low IQ, of
being
"not funny"...completely without humor, of being KKK material and of being
racially slanderous. I really feel sorry for them...what will they do when
dubya wins a second term?:-)
