Cartoon #4 - Newt's Invented People

This cartoon was drawn by Tom Tulles.

Key Objects and Symbolism
One key object is Newt Gingritch.  His small eyes and short arms are part of his caricature, which makes fun of him.

Another is the giant coin that says "E pluribus unum" on it.  This represents all of those under God (the entire world).  T

About the event
In an interview on the Jewish television channel, Newt Gingrich exclaimed that the Palestinians have no right to their land and that they are an "invented" people.  This is certainly a move to attract Jewish voters for Newt.

Message
The cartoonist believes that Newt Gingrich is going a little over the top here.  In fact, all people are "invented" people.  We define who we are.

Point of View
The cartoonist disapproves of Newt Gingrich.  He believes that Newt focuses too much on grabbing attention.
