Frightening comic for campaign literature
Hat tip the Anchoress
As you may have heard by now, San Francisco will be voting this November on whether or not to ban circumcision in the city.
Defenders of the measure say its all about human rights and protecting babies from unnecessary procedures.
But critics suspected there was something vaguely anti-Semitic about the whole proposal, since among Jews (and Muslims, as well) circumcising male babies is a religious duty, not just a mistaken medical procedure.
Ban proponents insisted their proposal had nothing to do with Jews really, its all about the rights of children.
Well, any doubt that they were lying have now been dispelled, with the publication of new campaign literature for the upcoming circumcision ban. The campaign comic book, called Foreskin Man, after its baby-saving superhero, features a litany of evil Jews doing battle with blond Nordic saviors.
Yes, really.
(Oh, and did I mention the artists last name is Hess? A relative of Rudolph, perhaps?)

Below you will find a selection of images taken from Foreskin Man, the campaign brochure for San Franciscos anti-circumcision ballot measure. You tell me: anti-Semitic or not?
The comic follows. I'm not fisking it; I doubt even Linkara himself could do a funny drubbing of this comic. If supporters of the measure have any sense, they will come down hard on this.
