Halloween Political Humor

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

You would think Halloween would be the favorite holiday for leftists. After all, you go to other people’s houses and get free candy.

But since the entire process is voluntary, that spoils the fun for our coercion-loving statist friends.

Which may explain why a lot of Halloween humor has a libertarian bent. My favorite example is the video of a comedian explaining how to teach your kids about taxes after they’re done trick-or-treating.

Today, though, we’re going to enjoy a bunch of cartoons, starting with this Jerry Holbert gem showing Obama and his senior staff putting together his healthcare plan.

The witch theme returns with this Lisa Benson cartoon featuring Harry Reid andNancy Pelosi.
