Pett is a low class jerk. He should leave kids out of his socialist cartoons.

Completely and utterly rancid. If I was Bevin, I would not allow LHL interviews or be part of any press briefings until they apologized. But I haven't read that trash paper in a long time.

He's relying on the double standard by the national media arbiters that liberals can be racists with impunity -- all they need to do is say their racism was in the service of exposing conservative racism.

Serious question. Does he have anyone like an editor above him, or does he just have free reign?

I haven't read their rag in years.

He is a hack and now a racist.

If he had any balls he'd be drawing a picture of Mohammad. Alas, he has no balls.

He is on the editorial board, so pretty much the latter.
When he was on KSR after than IU/UK controversial cartoon, he flat out said the layoffs there didn't matter to him.

Yes he does. Interviewed her on WLEX last night. Black woman and she said she and another black person saw no racism in the drawing. What a shock.

The editor should be suspended for letting that one go. Going after Bevin's kid is pond scum low.

Takes minimal effort to speak a similar tasteless statement.

Takes concentrated effort to draw out such a tasteless statement with nuance.

Lazy in conception and hatefully produced, regardless of which side(s) of the aisle you sit on.

Essentially, it's Joel Pett, ladies and gentlemen.

What do you expect?

The cartoon isn't racist, it's just talking about race. But I get it, the left cries racism at every turn, the right is just doing the same.

The cartoon isn't attacking the children. His adopted kids are black. We all know this.

Don't get me wrong, I loathe the LHL, but this much ado about nothing, at least in my opinion. I'm kinda surprised Bevin is giving Pett the attention. I do agree with the other poster that Pett should also lampoon Muhammad.

Late Edit: the comments to his response are worth reading : http://www.kentucky.com/opinion/op-ed/article45535464.html

My favorite : "Mr. Pett, you are apparently one shameless sonodfabitch"

If pett did it, I don't like it. Reasonable people agree. Stopped my subscription about 3 years ago. Have not missed it. Quality was lacking. I understand newspapers hire editorialists that purposely get under a normal person's skin. Finally realized my $20 bucks a month was helping pay the salaries of such misguided persons. The hurled rarely if ever assumes the proper editorial position on ANYTHING.

I think kids should be off limits, now, and when some called the Obama children names based on their clothing at his innaugeration.
