Haley Burqa Cartoon Raises Eyebrows

imageAn editorial cartoon posted to Robert Ariail's site depicting South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley in a burqa has attracted some general political interest; the fascinating thing is that it's difficult to figure out who's exactly upset to what extent over what exact part of that cartoon. In fact, the way that article on the Fox site has been written, you don't even know how this might intersect with Nikki Haley's political profile more generally. It's more like the cartoon set of keyword signals on someone's google news search than that anyone has made a significant complaint, ironic in that a google search is exactly how the cartoon will be seen more widely in blog posts like this one. Ariail says the cartoon is about political revelations rather than anything to do with Muslim culture.
