Cartoon in Ft. Worth Star Telegram

[bunny213]

In this mornings Star-Telegram is an editorial cartoon that was picked up by a paper from a cartoonist in Canada. I am so upset...what is this man trying to do? Haven't the people of the U.S. enough to deal with right now? My husband has written to the Star-Telegram ... and I am going to cancel our subscription. This cartoon more or less dares the terrorists to do better than Katrina did.....did anyone else see this cartoon? I am shocked and dismayed at the judgement of this newspaper. I apoligize to the people in Canada, you are wonderful and good neighbors...I am not upset with you...just this individual....he's a disgrace.

Wow!

Is Fort Worth receiving refugees?

Free speech or not--and insensitive thing to publish.





(sorry barb---I think I had in my mind that I couldn't see the picture in your post---but then decided not to type that...and totally wrote the inappropriate thing. Nothing wrong with your post!!! It's the publication!!!)

I'm sorry if you thought that my post was insensitive...that's the last thing I am or want to be. I have been in tears over all the heartbreak that people are going through....but I'm just so mad at this paper...please don't be mad at me..I wasn't trying to be mean...I'm just mad and upset. And I don't want anyone else hurt. Barb

Not sure about refugees to Ft. Worth. Here's a partial list of cities and the number of refugees they're expecting to shelter:

Houston: 33,000
Dallas: 25,000
San Antonio: 25,000
Austin: 5,000
Tyler: 500
Beaumont: 1,450
Memphis: 10,000
Baton Rouge: estimates as high as 300,000

Fort Worth is taking refugees as are many of the suburbs even though they are in much reduced numbers.

I know Tarrant County has taken in many, I have family there aiding in the efforts. I am in Waco and we have taken in lots of families as well, just not enough to make the press.

I saw it. Pretty disgusting, wasn't it.

As a canadian may I say that I am sorry about the cartoon. We have some really disgusting reporters and cartoonist in this country, Talk about arrogant. They seem to think that they are superior for some reason, as you can see they are wrong.

???

Where can we see this?

 

[goin2disneyagain]

How sickening!! That really disgusts me.

 

[DisneyLovingMama]

Can you tell us the cartoonist or what the cartoon was? For those of us not in Texas?

 

[damo]

Was it this one by any chance? I don't really see it the way you do though, if it is.

I think that is incredibly poor taste. I would have cancelled my subscription and written a letter too.

I am feeling optomistic tonight. Is it remotely possible that the cartoonist is saying that the terrorist is insignificant? I am trying to put this in a better light. Maybe it isn't a dare but an insult.
