Hi Goran, Back in 1943 the popular artist Norman Rockwell , whose work was generally printed on the front cover of the Saturday Evening Post painted a series called "the Four Freedoms" as an inspirational series for a country at war. A "what we're fighting for" ideal with a homespun feel.
Given the current thuggish protests against health care in this country, the cartoonist is contrasting the protestors to Rockwell's ideal of American values.
Our congressman's team had a great idea -- The event was held at the local minor league baseball stadium. Shouters have a bigger effect in a close space. The field allowed for the asking and answering of questions.

Don't really understand this cartoon. Cultural?

Freedom of Speech was one of them.
