Go, Read: People Debate A Terrible-Sounding Cartoon
Here. I'm not sure what you do in the case of a cartoon you dislike so much it drives you to fury, although calling on it to be banned somehow seems weird. That the cartoonist is largely unapologetic means that pushing at the cartoon allows her a stage to push back with the message you dislike.
It's interesting that the cartoon being traced became an issue used to discredit the cartoon, both as a general indictment of its skill and as a specific indictment that the cartoonist added a message that wasn't there in the original. One constant of modern political debate is that any tactic can and will be used to win the argument in play, and that at least one of the sides will try to play it so that they're only hoping to win a little bit of an argument, if not just one instance of it.
