‘Offensive and Horrific’: NY Congressman Condemns NY Post Chimp/Stimulus Cartoon

MSNBC ^ | Feb. 18, 2009

[Free ThinkerNY]

Chris Matthews: "Do you think that The New York Post is calling the president of the United States a chimp?"

[Wisconsinlady]

Now THAT was funny!

[stboz]

More like a chump.

[Ken522]

Isn’t that what the press called President Bush for about four years?

[pgkdan]

Don’t nobody review dose cartoons before they’re publicated? LOL!

[ROTB]

[television is just wrong]

no one can remotely say anything against president zero.

[jedi150]

Long term memory problem he does have. I remember Bush being portrayed in the same manner and the MSM said nothing.

[Da Coyote]

Oh, calling Bush (which the loons did) a chimp is OK.

But calling the chief loon a chimp (which the cartoon didn’t - figure it out, stupid libs) is bad??

Gads, this just keeps getting better and better.

Repeat after me: Obama is NOT a chimp. He’s a loon. Chimps are far smarter than loons.

>> Chris Matthews: “Do you think that The New York Post is calling the president of the United States a chimp?”

I’m curious... did TinglyLeg ever give a rat’s ass any of the thousands of times they compared President Bush to a chimp?

[madison10]

If I recall, there was no hue and cry when they made President Bush look like a monkey. Not so great when the tables are turned, eh?

[clintonh8r]

I don’t know ‘bout no chimps, but Matthews’s face reminds me of a baboon’s ass....

[autumnraine]

“Chris Matthews: “Do you think that The New York Post is calling the president of the United States a chimp?””

I think karma is real, baby.

[exist]

All the times they called Bush a chimp hmmm amnesia much?

[dadgum]

Considering the context, the cartoon was of very poor taste.

However, comparing zer-O to chimps is an insult to primates.

[King Moonracer]

Well I’m stumped. What is the double standard here? Can we call Obama a cockroach, or because a cockroach is black, that is off limits too? I would imagine all African animals are off limits, so how about a blood-sucking South American vampire bat? Yeah, a blood-sucking South American vampire MOONbat. That’s the ticket.

Chris Matthews: "Do you think that The New York Post is calling the president of the United States a chimp?"

I can't speak for the NY Post.

[madison10]

Yes, it was in poor taste, that I’ll give you. Their memories, however, are very short.

[shibumi]

"Long term memory problem he does have. I remember Bush being portrayed in the same manner and the MSM said nothing."

The problem they have is that this time, the shoe fits.

[papasmurf]

Google...Chimp ,as I did. No mention of 0bama, but 3rd on the list of 5,430,000 is former President Bush.




Go figure.
