Little Hawk, let's see if I understand: If I make a comment about a political figure I don't like or respect but in so doing I display a characteristic of that person that is commonly used by bigots, my comment is not bigoted?

Say that the politician I don't like is widely known to make back room deals- wouldn't portraying him or her in a back room be legitimate thing? If the politician is Black or a Jew or Hispanic and instead of showing the back room I draw him or her as a caricature of that person's race, is that not racist or bigotry?

Incidentally Hitler's government and press routinely showed the Jew as being less than human, but since they usually depicted only ONE person at a time you couldn't call it bigoted, could you now.
