The cartoon depicting Carolinians as hill billies has already been done. Why not try something fresh for a change or do the lefties in the Seattle region lack imagination.
When it comes to ineptitude, I recall the northwest workers putting thousands of 787 fasteners in backwards.
A company like Boeing can’t afford to be held hostage to union demands or they’ll end up like the steel industry and the big three auto makers, barely hanging on. One thing union workers seem to ignore is that anyone can make just about anything, anywhere; if not in America, then overseas. You can be sure that Obama will not be there to hold your hand when you lose your job.
If the Seattle work force doesnt want to see abandoned plants like the ones around Detroit and Pittsburgh they better take heed and start thinking for themselves. Otherwise the day of reckoning will come. And there’s not enough Walmarts around Puget Sound to hire all the well paid machinists.

Stereotypes. It’s all real. It’s part of our history and present day. Hello? The racist flag on the tax-payer funded statehouse grounds. I love how you Republicans defend this. Excuse me. May I say that others see the truth? They do. Wake up.

That cartoon is quite funny. And it looks like they’ll have plenty of time to read the funnies while their waiting in the unemployment line. OUCH!!!!!

But who in the end got the contract? Those dumb South Carolinians, must have done something right to be able to get a 2nd contract!!!! GO SC! GO SC! The cartoonist should be thankful after all because he will need that moonshine that he drew to keep his butt warm this winter — it will be a very cold one this year!!!!

Washington State must be a union State and SC must be a right to work State.This would be a great example of North v.South.

The North vs. the South will never end until the yankees give us our Nation back. If you wonder why America is like it is today,just ask a Confederate to tell you about “Compromised Principles” and what that means in regards to our form of democracy Representative Republic.Also ask him about the Constitution and how we are to correct our government and the inequities of society,and when the attempt to comply is ignored.Y’all jez ask a Confederate.

Let’s be clear; this was an attempt by a cartoonist to make a business decision look funny – nothing more, nothing less. My guess is that the more realistic version; “How many Boeing Executives in Chicago does it take to…” was just to scary to be funny. Both the South and even the North has its share of very smart folks, so let’s just make sure that those knuckleheads from Chicago and Wall Street don’t get away with trying to profit from resurrecting the ol’ No. vs. So.

Let’s see. Seattle, a town that Anarchists tore apart. The town where Neo-Nazis have called home. In near by Whidbey island, Robert Mattews and other members of the Order shot it out with the FBI. Washington State is site of an annual Neo-Nzi gathering put on by the Aryan Nations. Survivalist Gather in the “Great White North west Bastion”….Yeah, I preffer Southern Hospitality. They may honor the confederate flag, but as a Sephardic Jew I feel safer and more welcome there then in a state known for Violent Street action.

This cartoon begs for words to describe the ignorance of the writer. Being from the South, I find it extremely offensive. The only bright spot is the flag of honor; St. Andrews Cross. I am glad to see there is still an association with the flag and the mind of northerners. God save the south!

Southern White people are the last and only politically correct target the shouters of “diversity, tolerance and multi-culturalism” permit to be stereo-typed, derided, mocked and scorned. Shame on anyone and everyone who laughed at the cartoon but would be among the first to howl about one targeting Blacks, Jews, Latinos, etc.

So, in the wake of Fort Hood, I suggest this:
Some of you hunters out there ought to do this… When you bag a hog, take the head and toss it onto a mosque with a note attached to it, reading in big letters, “REMEMBER FORT HOOD!”
