Like I said, I knew I’d catch heat. That is fine.
But let me assure of one thing. I am not a racist...far from it. Just because I see something different from you does not make me someone who is prejudice. So please don’t make that rather extraordinary leap.
Relax folks - TRUST ME - I am on the conservative side of the fight. I hate Obama and his crooked ilk. I just happened to see something I didn’t like in this cartoon - that is all. We are stewards of free speach, no?
Better days ahead for all of us....and keep fighting the good fight.
Cheers,

I don’t doubt that. Nor do I doubt that you aren’t racist in the sense of “denigrating someone because of their race”.
But you should be mindful that there are OTHER definitions of racism besides that one.
Coddling a group solely because of their race is every bit as “racist” as denigrating that group. Voting for a man only because he is of a certain race is every bit as racist as voting AGAINST him for that same reason.
Here is a thought question: I’m sure you found the Chimpy Bushitler comparisons distasteful — but why? Because of W’s race? Now ask yourself the same thing about Obama.
Another thought question: I believe Obama is lazy, stupid and incompetent. Shiftless, if you will. These labels have at times all been applied as a stereotype to folks of certain races, including African American. Am I racist when I call Obama lazy, shiftless, stupid and incompetent?
