NY Post Cartoon Links Obama to Dead Chimp
NBC ^ | 2/18/09 | staff

A New York Post cartoon that appears to link President Obama to a violent chimpanzee drew criticism Wednesday on media Web sites and from civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton.

The cartoon in Wednesday's Post by Sean Delonas shows a dead chimp and two police officers, one with a smoking gun. The caption reads, “They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.''

The cartoon refers to Travis the chimp, who was shot to death by police in Stamford, Conn. on Monday after it mauled a friend of its owner.

It links the chimp to Obama, who signed his administration's economic stimulus plan on Tuesday.

“At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it,'' columnist Sam Stein wrote in the liberal-leaning Huffington Post. “Most provocatively, it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial.''

By "...today's climate..." do you mean run-away race pimping? Only PETA would have a legitimate case to whine about the "bad taste" since they're the phony, Leftist group pimping animal rights.

The guy is comparing the lunatic chimp to Congress since they came up with the bill. It's gonna be a tough four years for Sharpton if cartoon grievance is his new domain,

Fuhrer Obama set Travis the Chimp up. Forensics will probably match the victim’s bite marks to Michelle Obama’s dental records.
