Yup, definitely. If the guy who originally drew the cartoon is not in the US, God help him. As much as people love to bag on the US, our Constitution is a beautiful thing. It's kind of a weird position in the US where you have to say things like "I absolutely hate what that person says, but I will defend his right to say it."
Lawyers will defend even neo-Nazis passionately, not because of their message, but because of the First Amendment. The same law that protects them also protects people who mock them endlessly 
I can live with that, it's nice to be able to say what you like about any political figure or policy. Some would call it the ultimate check and balance on rest of the system.
