The comic is a commentary on the quizzes that pop up from time to time meshing candidate X with fascist twerp Y to see if folks can pick which one said something or the other. Saw one for Santorum I think a few weeks ago. They are not really effective tools for getting people onto your side, but they can rile up the already converted.

By making one as blatantly wtf? as this one, Randall (the author) is most likely pointing out how silly such things are. Candidates should stand on their individual merits instead of being meshed with characters they don't have much in common with given their individual contexts.

Tis a little silly that it might be offending people, or heck, even convincing anyone to be more for or anti-Romney. Long story short, if you find this particular comic offensive, you've totally missed the point.
