NAACP wants NY Post editor and cartoonist fired
By VERENA DOBNIK, Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK The head of the NAACP on Saturday urged readers to boycott the New York Post, calling a cartoon that the newspaper published an invitation to assassinate President Barack Obama.
Benjamin Todd Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, called on the tabloid to remove editor-in-chief Col Allan, as well as longtime cartoonist Sean Delonas.
Earlier this week, the newspaper apologized to anyone who might have been offended by the image printed Wednesday, which some say likens Obama to a violent chimpanzee gunned down by police in Connecticut. Jealous said the cartoon was "an invitation to assassination."
On Thursday, after protests by notable figures including director Spike Lee, the paper posted an editorial on its Web site saying the cartoon was meant to mock the federal economic stimulus bill, but "to those who were offended by the image, we apologize."

screw them.
NAALCP (the L stands for “liberal”): Bite me.
Yeah, and I want a house at the shore; and I'm not going to get that, either.
The NAACP is starting to act like the Muslims in Europe when the Danish cartoons were published. Any connection?
... And monkeys will fly out my butt too ...
One thing about it, I think most of them realize that Obama will be the LAST black President we have for a lonngggggg lonnngggg time
yep
The pro-slavery pro-KKK Democratic Congress has decided that monkeys are racist.
Zoos are a danger and must be closed. [The world is upside down.]
“And monkeys will fly out my butt too”
Hey, you can’t say monkey. I want you to be fired! /s
That’s funny I want the NAACP fired. What a coinki-dink.
You want the NAALCP to bite you like the chimp did? Be careful, the NAALCP will be picketing Free Republic next. (Hehehe)
Gee, I wonder they’d react to a picture of Obama with a bomb in his turban.
The NAACP is a racist organization run by and for professional negros.
If they fire them, then Eric Holder is right... They’re cowards on race!
Mark
crazy
What a bunch of pussies. The NAACP is one of the biggest racist groups in the Country and they get away with it because as Holder said we are Cowards when it comes to race. The NY Post should tell them to STFU. Their sales would probably go up.
Come on now, the only KKK member the NAACP remembers is David Duke (R-LA). Sheets Byrd gets a pass from the NAACP and liberal media.
“The NY Post should tell them to STFU.”
That would make a great headline & a great tag line!
