A Rare Miss for Dennis Allyn
Usually, Dennis Allyn’s cartoons are thought-provoking and funny.
Not so the one on 19 November. He totally misread and misrepresented the protest at the Courthouse on 15 November.
His cartoon shows a protestor holding a sign that says: ‘America Sucks!’. Had he but read some of the signs actually held by the protestors, he might have realized that they were anything but anti-American. They were antifascist. Even the banner headline on the front page clearly described the protest.
My father fought in Europe against the fascists. My father-in-law fought there, too. My Uncle fought in North Africa against the forces of fascism. I served in Vietnam in opposition to a regime that also displayed several characteristics of fascism. More recent generations have fought in opposition to regimes that could easily fit within the fascist definition.
I’m obviously not an artist, but here is a ‘cartoon’ I’ve drawn expressing my opinion.
