Chilling? Hardly, but it is an accurate statement of the average citizens feelings on the subject.

Should have made the family black. African-Americans are the ones who will be screwed over the hardest with this.

How is it racist? It isn't Armenians who are surging across our southern border.

Obama has given the green light for millions and millions more illegals to come here.

I don't get the outrage over this political cartoon.

Chilling on all levels.

Chilling on all levels.

Wow, liberal butthurt, much?

I don't like Varvel much at all but
I do understand that this was his attempt at satire.

Yeah right you loon; because there are Mexicans crawling in your windows RIGHT NOW trying to steal your Thanksgiving!!! BTW - in the race for "Thickest Thing in This Thread," the irony of claiming Thanksgiving only for those who were here first is so thick your skull has to take 2nd place...

Caricature has resided in political cartoons. I recall a political cartoon from the mid 1960's depicting LBJ's head on a tank. LBJ's nose was elongated to form the tank gun. The message I got was LBJ was now firmly in Hawk Camp. Some cartoons of that era depicted the Anti-War demonstrators as ragged, unwashed, lacking basic hygiene, in some cases with flies flying around their heads.

This Varvel Cartoon has it's obvious appeal to racism. The home invasion of a Lily White Family (read America)by the swarthy hordes. The only thing Varvel left out in the first cartoon is the man wearing a sombrero.

There is no real Journalism at the Star. The Star is just a propaganda out let for the Shadow Government.

The guiding principle for Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce is if you cannot off shore bring the Third World's cheap labor here.

I can recall in my youth the flood (Migrants) of Hispanic workers at different times during the year. Following the crops as my Dad said. They lived in shacks as I observed. Agri-Business big and small was the new "Massa."

I'm trying to remember the pre-black-Friday version of the thanksgiving story. Something about hungry immigrants and generous citizens.

Cartoon expressed my views ON THE MONEY!

Gannett is just a Propaganda voice of the Left. Gannett has no connection with the people of Indianapolis or Central Indiana.

Gannett is at a record low in newspaper sales....so Gannett tries to appeal to the Liberals???

Gannett might as well close shop in Indiana.

Gary Varvel's cartoon was Right-On!!!

After Kravitz left to go to Channel 13, Varvel is the only asset left at the Star.

I feel it's in bad taste, but you'd think the Star's readers would be more offended by what passes as journalism than a cartoon.

2014-11-22T23:55:23.406-05:00

It was an accurate caricature of the outrage that citizens feel about Obama's disregard of his duty to faithfully discharge the laws of the country. The Star's liberal editor needs to grow a pair or get out of journalism.

It should have been pulled for sheer stupidity.

This is where "PC" takes us... cowering editors too quick to abandon the First Amendment....

If I had not cancelled my daily and Sunday Star circa 2006, Jeff Taylor's folly regarding the Varvel cartoon (it's a CARTOON, Jeff!) would move me to do so were I still a subscriber.

Gannett took a marginal paper and turned it to complete rubbish.
