Leaders of the NAACP on Saturday called for the firing of the New York Post cartoonist whose drawing lampooning the federal stimulus bill has drawn charges that it's racist and encourages violence toward President Obama.

Speaking at the civil rights group's annual meeting in New York, NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said that if Sean Delonas is not fired, the group will call for protests of the paper and Fox television affiliates, which are owned by Post parent company News Corp.

"There is consensus that if the Post does not ... get rid of the journalists who are responsible for this bit of hate speech seeing the light of day, that we will move this from a local, regional issue to a very national issue," Jealous said.

[television is just wrong]

so, Obama looks like curious George.

NAACP = racists without a cause

[ladyjane]

the folks over at the NY Post should have had a brain in their collective head themselves, to see the problem that would have cropped up

I suppose you think we should all stop using the worda niggardly, tar-and-feather and black-hole too.

Let's all hunker down to the lowest common denominator.

I am of a mind that the dead chimp in the toon looks more like Sharpton than Obozo, but that’s just me with my wishing hat on.

[Finalapproach29er]

do you think anyone who reads the Post and watches Fox will give a hoot in hell about your manufactured ‘outrage’?????

And calling President Bush “Chimpy Bushitler” was just nuanced dialogue?

[winner3000]

It’s time for any free organization to attack the NAACP as a fascist organization. It’s time to respond with our own fire. No more playing defense.

I guess every cartoon with a monkey will be called racist if Obama happens to resemble the chimp. It's not the NY Post's fault if some people think a cartoon monkey looks like Obama. That's their opinion and they are entitled to it.

Ha!

A more appropiate name I'd like to hear.

“I never hear boo from the Geezers at NAACP about black racism, so screw them”

And just having finished eight years of “Chimpy McBushitler”, and not hearing boo from the NAACP, what did you expect?

[mathurine]

Cowardly, cowardly, I say. Can’t these people have any sort of discussion with those of another race without threats and agitation. Cowardly!

[sten]

looks like the same reaction you’d get if they had printed a rendition of mohammad

[lacrew]

At least the post didn’t call him ‘clean’ or a ‘magic negro’. There would be outrage....oh, never mind.

If they really wanted to do a good racist slur, they should have asked Byrd.

Wonder when Obama will get on the record regarding this issue...

I'm still waiting for the outage when Obama called himself "a mutt" and by implication others of interracial parentage "derogatory name.

If "macaca" destroyed Sen. Allen's career, then why not "mutt" do the same for Obama?

Yup, that is just about the level of brain power the leftist race pimps can muster. At FR, you didn’t even need a sarcasm tag! With the NAACP you would have to sign a disclaimers, and with Al Dulltoon his goon squad of stfreet thugs would demand you be banned from FR.

[MHGinTN]

Oh my! What a niggardly attitude! Where’s your compassion, your race guilt?

[Vaquero]

I cannot disagree with you.

certain groups are too thin skinned.
