Seems to me the courageous ones are in the streets of Teheran angry that their votes mean nothing and will stay that way. Acmadenajad has more in common with Torrijos than Guevara wouldn’t you think? Being put in place under force is good? What is heroic about that?

Sorry Mr. Fish! If the “Vomitor of Falsehood” -the nickname I have for the very deaf, blind and dumb who goes by the name of “nefesh,” whatever that means, is your fan on this very tasteless cartoon, then rest assured that you have become very irrelevant! From now on I wouldn’t waste my precious sight looking at or commenting on you tasteless and irrelevant childish drawings!

All you need to do now is fart in my general direction and you have run the table - congratulations.

You’re no match for the heroic Che Guevara, nor you’re a match for the courageous and revolutionary Ahmadinejad. You’re a dwarf compared to those two!

I second every point just made by Fadel Abdallah.
Carry on, without me in your audience.

I fail to see the humor in denigrading Che or Ahmadinejad.
Maybe you did this to attract a Jew and neo-con audience. If thats the case, well done!

No WAY are you an antisemitic bigot, boggs, no way!

And FYI - if you don’t want to sound EXACTLY like a backwoods KKK a-hole, use the plural - JEWS - instead of the singular in that context. “Jew” is not an adjective, it’s a noun.

You could have just as well put Bush’s face on that picture, he’s an ASSHOLE and he started two wars and maybe three.

I think the election was rigged but still, this is just an example of American ignorance about other countries. Che Guevara and Ahmadinejad are pretty far apart in the ideaological spectrum. As with any historical figure, Americans need to actually read what Guevara wrote, thought, promoted etc. But then again, this is a country where California is planning to get rid of textbooks. The same goes for our understanding of what is happening in Iran. Most people going “Green” in this country probably didn’t even know Iran’s capital is named Tehran until this whole crisis began.

Well, symbols of hate such as Che and Ahmadinejad ARE worthy of denigration. Its much better than the sycophantic idol-worship for these assholes that is de rigueur for the Far Left and political-fashion ninnies.

This is why I am pleasantly surprised by the rhetoric of this cartoon, given its source.

I don’t see this as necessarily anti-Ahmadinejad…or maybe it is…maybe I am being too defensive of Mr. Fish since I am a long time fan. His last cartoon stuck in my craw a bit, since I don’t think the election was rigged. Not to the extent that the outcome would’ve been different. I see Ahmadinejad as a populist, an anti-zionist, anti-american imperialist. He is not perfect though. I don’t know. I need to learn more about Iranian politics, maybe Mr. Fish does too.

I like the message.
It takes a Marie-Antoinette and her ‘let them eat cake’ attitude to trigger the French revolution after century of abuses, it took a W to destroy the conservative movement. It takes an Ahmedinejad to finally have the people rally against this dark theocracy.
I have no idea what Che has to do with it but I have to laugh when I see it.

FISH - REACTIONARY NEOCON?

Surprise. NOT.

You denigrate two hate-symbols-in-one for the Reich wing. Nice job.

Of very bad taste.

Wow - a Fish cartoon I actually like. I would never have believed Fish would gut that tired pastiche of an icon, Guevara, so adroitly. This would make a t-shirt I might actually wear.
