 CAMERA: Patrick Oliphant's Cartoon Bias
Master cartoonist Pat Oliphant weighed in on the Israeli spy story on August 30, three days after it was first reported.
Cartoonists obviously enjoy a latitude that other opinion-page contributors do not, but Oliphant’s pre-judging the outcome of the reported Pentagon allegations, and his unsubstantiated charge that Israel makes a “habit” of spying underscore his disdain for facts and his avidity in assailing the Jewish state.
Evidently for Oliphant the defense of innocent lives against those who wantonly take them in the streets, buses and cafes of Israel is the work of the devil.

THIS PAT OLIPHANT CARTOON is pretty awful, considering that one of the guys it's aimed at spent nearly 7 years as a North Vietnamese P.O.W. UPDATE: Reader James V. Somers thinks that Kerry's defenders are losing it:
Things like the revolting Oliphant cartoon you link to, as well as Maureen Dowd's hysterical screed this morning attacking the Swift Vets as, inter alia, "sleazoids", suggest that Kerry's Big Media allies may overplay a mediocre hand in defending him.
Flamethrower attacks like Oliphant's will go over well with liberal-leaning journalists and diehard Blue-Staters, because those people take it as received wisdom that the Vietnam War was an immoral excess of American Imperialism, and thus the only soldiers from it who should be admired are those who later opposed it.
