Here's yesterday's cartoon in the Philadelphia Inquirer portraying the Catholic justices on the Supreme Court as religiously-inspired threats to the civil liberties of American women.
Here's a famous cartoon by Thomas Nast portraying religiously inspired Catholics as a threat to the civil liberties of American families.
The Nast cartoon is universally despised as an expression of anti-Catholic bigotry. The Auth cartoon is praised as an expression of "progressive" thought.
Why?
UPDATE: Apparently this is not the first time Auth has done this sort of thing. Alex Charyna notes:
A Tony Auth creation…
Maybe he’s just unoriginal.
Nice catch, Alex.
