George W. Bush: Make a right turn here. Driver: Um... are you sure? Bush: Hey, yew kin trust me 'cuz I'm a reg'ler guy like yew! Driver: Well, OK... Bush: Oops.. heh-heh... I meant yer other right.... Driver: Oh... uh... sorry. I must not have been listening well enough. Bush: OK, now just keep goin' straight... Driver: But... but... Bush: Hey, I'm the navigaterer here, so let me do the thinkifyin'. Driver: OK... if you say so... holy! What's the matter with you?! Are you drunk?!! Bush: Hey, yer the one who only wanted directions from someone you'd like to have a beer with. Driver: Sigh... you're right. Now get out so I can find someone who knows the way... Bush: That's OK... this is my stop anyway. Driver: Um... this route looks awfully familiar. John McCain: Oh, just trust me, my friend, and stay the course. Want a beer? Election directions...
There is no “bait” here. I’m just trying to figure out what disagreement there is with the satire. If disagreement with the direction this country is headed in, as well as who headed us in that direction, makes one a “left wing liberal”, then according to the most recent Gallup poll, 90% of the country is dissatisfied with the direction of the country. Does that now make 90% of the population “left wing liberal”?
If you think the point of the satire is wrong, then it should be quite simple to say so and calmly point out how it is incorrect. When all you can do is hurl epithets and say “I’ll never read your cartoon again”, then you are actually saying you agree with point.
