A cartoonist who smeared Rush Limbaugh in 1995 now does it to Judge Kavanaugh

Rush Limbaugh  . . . "This cartoon, ladies and gentlemen, was drawn shortly after the Oklahoma City Bombing, after President Clinton said that “angry voices on the right” were speaking out against him. There was only one voice on the right. In 1995, I was it. There were some local talk shows, but CNN’s the only cable out there. There’s no Fox News. There’s no blogosphere. There’s no alternative media. There aren’t really any conservative websites.
Everything’s starting to blossom at that point, but this program nationally was still it four years after our founding. Clinton had blamed “angry voices on the right” for Timothy McVeigh blowing up the building in Oklahoma City, the federal building. Of course, I was livid. I was not gonna accept that. We challenged the White House on it, and they issued a “correction,” claiming, “No, we were talking about the Michigan militia short-wave radio.” . . .

. . . "Do you remember during the hearings Brett Kavanaugh said that his 10-year-old daughter was praying, suggested the family pray for “the woman,” meaning Dr. Ford. Judge Kavanaugh was starting to break down and tear up at that point, talking about the wisdom of his 10-year-old daughter.
"The same cartoonist is back in some publication, the Illinois something, Illinois Journal or some such thing. The cartoon has now gone viral all over the web and on Twitter and some parts Facebook they love it. " . . . (Below)

. . . It’s the same cartoonist, 1995 to today. It’s just vile. It’s filthy. It’s dirty. It’s disgusting. It’s despicable. And it’s sick. And, of course, it has accomplished its objective! It’s gone viral, and people have seen it. People are reacting to it. I weighed whether or not to give it the attention that anything talked about by me ultimately gets, and I decided to go ahead and do it. In my never-ending quest to have people understand who liberals are — how sick and demented they are — this is what passes for humor on the left." . . . 
"The disorders they suffer are simply said to be their political positions, and their anger is at the country or specific groups, like (summarized) “white men who need to die so that feminists can castrate the corpses and feed them to pigs.” That’s Georgetown University professor Dr. Christine Fair. These people are clearly not all there. "

When They Came For Kavanaugh’s Kid

Fox News: Far-left cartoonist accused of targeting Kavanaugh's 10-year-old daughter in vicious cartoon   . . . "An email to Britt requesting comment was not immediately returned. On his Facebook page, Britt responded to one critic by saying "I'm not the one who brought up his children. Brett 'I LOVE BEER' Kavanaugh brought them up." The page was later removed from public view." . . .
