Priggee’s Tea Party ‘Toon Goes Viral
Former SR cartoonist Milt Priggee has lit up cyberspace with a cartoon that portrays the Tea Party as a bunch of angry bigots holding signs that spouted their favorite causes. Daryl Cagle, who has a Web site devoted to the nation's political cartoonists, tweeted: "Tough cartoon about the racial bigotry that seems apparent in the Tea Party." Bryan Myrick of the conservative blog Unequal Time isn't as generous: "Seeing the key phrases 'racial bigotry,' 'apparent,' and 'tea Party,' I took the bait, clicked and found myself looking at a cartoon by Milt Priggee posted on Cagle’s blog that caused my jaw to hit the keyboard."
