NEW YORK (Reuters) – Hundreds of demonstrators rallied to boycott the New York Post on Thursday, branding the newspaper as racist for publishing a cartoon that appeared to compare President Barack Obama to a chimpanzee.
Demonstrators led by civil rights activist Al Sharpton chanted "End racism now!" outside the parent company's skyscraper in midtown Manhattan and called for the jailing of Rupert Murdoch, whose international media conglomerate News Corp owns the Post.
The newspaper has defended the cartoon as a parody of Washington politics, but Sharpton said it exploited a potent image in the history of racism toward blacks.

If I were a free thinking New Yorker I would put up a sign.....Go ahead....Make My Day!
Well, actually comparing Obama to a monkey was inaccurate. He is more like a cross between a peacock and an ass.
These turds can read?
I was wondering how long it would take to find something to cry racist over.
LOL
Stolen for future use....
Welp, there ya go ... Eric Holder declares that we are all “cowards” for not wanting to have a ‘conversation about race’, when in fact the reason we do not is because of fear of being called ‘racist’ at the slightest comment. Look in the mirror, Mssr’s Holder and Sharpton, it is YOU who refuse to have a rational ‘conversation’ about race
“There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs—partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs…
There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public”.
——Booker T. Washington
Wasn’t it the chimp queen (Pelosi) who wrote the actual stimulus package. 0bama just sat around doing nothing.
Congress wrote the stimulus bill.
I’m happy as hell that the whineyass liberals are whining about this. EVERYONE knows what the “media” did to President Bush with their monkey pictures. This display of phonyass “outrage” is going to blow up in the faces of these Obamacorn jackasses. Americans aren’t that stupid to fall for this phony, Commie garbage.
