Is this cartoon racist?
primebuzz ^

Posted on 02/18/2009 12:46:48 PM PST by JoeProBono

Riddle me this: the New York Post, a famously combative, conservative newspaper owned by Fox News proprietor Rupert Murdoch, runs a cartoon implying that a crazed chimpanzee wrote the recent economic stimulus bill, which was actually championed and developed by our nation's first black president.Longtime civil rights activist Al Sharpton thinks it might be. New York Gov. David Paterson, who is that state's first black chief executive, has said "an explanation is in order."

Police shot a crazed chimp yesterday, big news story the cartoonist was no doubt inspired by.

To me, it looks like the old joke about putting enough monkeys at enough typewriters (keyboards for all you youngsters) and they will eventually write something...either that or what kind of a monkey would write this crap???

Funny...only lefists see racism in everything that is negative and can be by any stretch of the imagination turned into a racial epithet..it is ALWAYS on their minds...
my grandson (age two and a half) climbs on everything and we all call him “monkey boy.” Good thing he’s Irish, I guess, or he would be scarred for life...

Not even add the BHO element, what is the symolism as it relates to the PorkBill?.....”

There was a berserk chimp attack on a woman recently. The porlulus bill is written as if a berserk chimp wrote it.

Thus the connection has NOTHING to do with 0bama and everything to do with the dims in congress.

We already know from the campaign season that references to primates in any context is a racist slur.

Yeah, I agree. Far too ambiguous in its intent. Oh well, C- for effort, I guess.

It’s obvious to me that the cartoon does not imply any connection whatsoever between the chimp and Obama. The cartoon does serve an unintended, yet useful purpose though, as a sort of Rorschach ink blot test, so that people (like Al Sharpton) who look at it and think there is a connection between the chimp and Obama reveal themselves to be very racist.

Holder needs to splain to his own peeps about being racists and blaming causasians for their failures in life

I do not need a jive assed (SSMF’er) as holder, to tell me a damn thing in life.

Holder should tell his own people(to whom the brim fits) to man/woman-up, stop acting like victims, discard their hyphenated name(aa) and become an American, first last &always.

To hell with holder and his mammy.
