It wasn't removed just commented on how much taking it is needed in your opinion.  I agree we are all hypocrites.

I don't see it as a shot a Steve Jobs. More like a jab at the occupiers. Too soon? Probably. In poor taste? Maybe. Inaccurate? I haven't seen any signs mentioning Jobs being an obect of the protest. Mostly (and rightly) the signs are directed at bankers.

What are the chances of 99% of the Occupy protesters using thier own IPhones to Tweet hate messages to corporate America - Pots and Kettles, Stephen, Pots and Kettles.

(BTW, see the DA Church protest....)

I don't see how it could be interpreted any other way than the two "Wall St." people directing their remarks at  Steve Jobs.

If nothing else, a comic is being made of a man who did in fact touch many lives and has just passed away?    Really?

I agree with the previous posters who do not believe that the cartoon was intended to attack the late Steve Jobs.  I think that it was a jab at the Occupy Wall Street folks who, in the cartoon, are condemning the very company that supplied their iPods, iPhones and iPads.  I also agree that it was too soon for someone to draw the cartoon and/or the artist could have used more of a feather and less of a sledgehammer in getting his/her point across.
