‘Morally reprehensible’

Dear Editor:

I am very disappointed in your decision to allow such a hate-filled and untruthful cartoon in the March 12 issue depicting the president of the U.S. as a dictator and comparing him to the Iranian leader (a true dictator).

This very offensive cartoon should be considered “hate speech” and the cartoonist should be banned for life from submitting any other cartoons to the Wellington Advertiser.

Comparing a duly elected American president with a Iranian dictator (who has murdered tens of thousands of Iranians and has continually called for the death of America, the elimination of the state of Israel, and has sponsored terrorism around the world) is morally reprehensible and shocking.

I am asking you to issue an apology to your readers for this very offensive and hate-filled cartoon.
