Moreover as these issues are personal rather than political; it seems to bring out a rather ugly side to many posters that does not show FR in a good light.
And I know it isn't “fair” that for 8 years Bush was called a chimp. Calling someone of African descent a chimp or gorilla has a long and storied history among racists; so just DO NOT GO THERE.

Why not? Should “they” be held to a different standard? It’s ok to call a bunch of white kids monkeys, which I do often, but not ok to call a kid who is black a monkey because there are issues there? Hmmm. Maybe those who are offended need to get over it?
