The above cartoon, published Wednesday in The Oklahoman newspaper, has come under criticism from a variety of groups and individuals. The image of a Latina being used as a piñata is troubling in and of itself, but given its similarity to a lynching scene and the out of control rhetoric coming from people like Rush Limbaugh, the cartoon is not only troubling but outright dangerous.
If you think that making such a connection between rhetoric, images and actions is hyperbole, perhaps you've missed this week's story surrounding the murder of Dr. Tiller.
I'm Cliff, and on that "note", I'm outta here!
For more info: You can read a previous article I wrote which includes Judge Sotomayor's "wise Latina" comments in context.
