Lee Judge of the KC Star

Lee Judge has been with the KC Star for decades and has from time to time managed this sort of classlessness due to his left wing orientation and perhaps to cover his lack of ability.
Lee Judge is standing tall on the deck of the Titanic that is the Kansas City Star. The greatest counter response to Lee, will be on the order of his irrelevancy.

One man's definition of satire is another man's definition of umbrage - especially if the topic is political or religious in nature. IMO, the definition of insensitive tends to be a common adjunct when either are practiced.
And so it goes...

Maybe dead Kennedy jokes are proper humor for a newspaper as well.

No class at all. The same libs would be screaming for blood if a conservative cartoonist had drawn tombstones with the names of any of the recent (Newtown, Aurora) shooting victims and the vary same caption....as always, double standards abound.

Quote:
Public Editor Derek Donovan
A newspaper publishes an editorial cartoon that many readers take as a mockery of a figure they hold in the highest esteem. The reaction is furious and includes histrionic language, intimidation and many unambiguous death threats to the cartoonist and editors.
The September 2005 cartoons in a Danish newspaper that depicted the prophet Mohammed and spurred unrest around the globe? No — I’m describing reaction to a recent cartoon by The Kansas City Star’s Lee Judge, which ran in print on Feb. 9. It went viral online last Thursday night, and The Star received literally hundreds of angry reactions by early Friday morning.
The cartoon depicted a grave marked “American Sniper,” meaning Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, who was killed along with a friend while on a shooting range. Charged is a 25-year-old Iraq War veteran who may have mental illness.
The caption on the cartoon read, “If only there had been a good guy with a gun around.” This is a direct reference to National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre’s recent statement, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” Judge’s argument is that the killer was in the company of two indisputable “good guys” with guns, yet they were unable to stop an armed individual with the intent to kill, reportedly at point-blank range.
Before I go further, I need to address the completely unacceptable tenor of the majority of the early messages The Star received. Most of them were profane and many directly threatened violence to Judge or his editors. That type of vile conduct demeans the sincere and rational objections that sane and civil readers can rightly have to such a pointed piece of commentary.
Back to the cartoon. There’s no question that many people objecting to it misunderstood Judge’s point. Some thought it was implying that Kyle was one of LaPierre’s “bad guys” himself. And some people were unaware of LaPierre’s statement so they simply interpreted the grave and headstone as a stark reminder of Kyle’s violent death.

Prior to the Mike Judge pic we had the KC Stars always controversial 'Sports' columnist Jason Whitlock comparing the NRA to the KKK.

And prior to that Editor Mi-Ai Parrish was in the news for her handling of a particular department downsizing

As for the print versions of the KC Star, people in KC have been voting with their pocket books for quite awhile and they appear to have continued the trend through 2012.

Richard. I would add that those who write this kind of satire do not have the same code of ethics as you and I know.
Truthfully, had to look him up, It's been while.

After thinking awhile on this, I hope not to be presumptuous.
