CampaignToons’ “Alien Invasion”: Racist Stereotyping Coming to a GOP Campaign Near You?

Link: CampaignToons :: Alien Invasion – Chupacabras for Our Nation’s Borders.

CampaignToons is a brilliant little company, I have to admit. I think cartooning has a significant future in political messaging. It’s fun, it’s cheap, it’s compelling, and it’s a good way to satirize your opponent.

This particular message struck me as interesting because of it’s focus on the border issue, combined with fairly offensive racial stereotyping, it’s essentially nativist, right-wing viewpoint, and it’s scathing criticism of President Bush. I came away from the viewing with a love-hate reaction that I felt compelled to share. Enjoy. And not.
