Well, as Curly would have said: “I resemble that remark!”
I even dredged up one titled Chimpy McHitler.
So the concept of referring to our president as an ape is not new, it's established, mainstream, and I think we should continue.
Alinsky said that in politics ridicule is a very effective tool, and this chimp meme seems to resonate.
If the diaper fits....
Sorry - and I know I’ll catch a lot of heat for this - but I don’t buy this argument. The cartoon was in horrible taste. The link of a monkey to Obama is easy to see.
I am a right leaning conservative and I abhor politcal correctness as much as Obama’s socialist policies - but this cartoon should not have made it on the pages of one of my two favorite newspapers - the other being the Wall Street Journal.

With those ears Obama looks more like a chimp than Bush ever did...so why not say it and draw it?
Has everyone already forgot about Travis and the possible connection? (Or did this happen before Travis was shot dead?)
The socially radioactive term 'racist' will be used against any critic, even a cartoon, and all discussion will be expected to cease. Al Sharpton is a master at using the term 'racist' like a club to attack anyone he decides should be silenced or shaken down - or both, depending on the person and the circumstances.
This will work for awhile but eventually the public will get sick of, in effect, being called 'racist' because they disagree with some loony left legislation proposed by Obama. Free (political) Speech cannot be stifled by PC shenanigans and baseless name-calling.
Overreaching will be the Democrat's downfall and over-using the term 'racist', as a way to instantly stop any discussion and smear anyone who objects to anything Obama does or says will backfire. The sooner, the better.
I don’t think the monkey looks like Obama at all...the monkey has holes in him, and he’s not very well dressed.
An interesting point to consider, who was behind this cartoon? Since anything negative about BHO will be construed as racist, which responsible newspaper would run this cartoon except to implant in the “less than knowledgeable” general population’s mind that republicans are racists. We’ll know a lefty was behind this when this story disappears, of course we’ll probably be lectured to by none other than Kathleen Parker.
The only - and I mean ONLY people who would construe it as racist are the racists themselves - because they are the only ones comparing blacks to chimps/apes/whatever.
Last I checked, Obama didn’t write the bill...he just promoted the crap out of it. But that won’t matter to the moonbats.
Come on, now, none other than CNN’s resident deep thinker Soledad O’Brien has stated that the cartoon is “unquestionably racist.”
