Some ideas brought up at the meeting:
"Honor Rachel Corrie"
"We Demand an Apology"
"Shame on You"

WHERE WE STAND:
- The editorial cartoon published in the DBK was anti-American
- The cartoon was undecent and casually made fun of a murdered woman
- Standard/Quality of the diamondback is extremley lowered
- Just think, Would they publish a cartoon poking fun at an israeli
bomb vicitm? Hell no... so why is it ok to poke fun at an American
dedicated to peace?

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN:
- We will go as a large group to the Diamondback Office in

The author of the comic has a history of misogyny. His comics are archived on the website -- he draws Rugged Rabbit [and he draws poorly]. He advocates violence against women. The Diamondback in general has a history of offending just about everyone -- they run anti-choice ads that contain blatant lies, they run racist campustruth.org ads, they ran an editorial column a few years ago that argued that all black women are "bitches" and the list goes on.
