Bruce MacKinnon Obama Cartoon “Hijacked” For Politically Extreme Uses

Sort of a self-explanatory story, but an interesting one that makes you wonder why this doesn't happen all the time. Apparently, some folks are using a translatable image from a Bruce MacKinnon cartoon and using it to slander presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama. One thing that's interesting about this is that it's a Canadian cartoon, and it's been suggest that American cartoonists might go out of their way not to make cartoons that can be interpreted in a certain way because of the historical significance of Obama's run. Another thing I find compelling is to note that, if I'm reading the article correctly, there are some uses where the text is changed or material added and some uses where they simply take the original text and suggest it be read in a context not flattering to the Senator.
