Her Facebook page was hacked and now she is suffering the consequences.

Of course it wasn’t racist to call Bush a chimp.
Only a racist thinks the different races should be treated the same...

I seem to recall that the Democrats regularly caricatured President George W. Bush as a chimpanzee.
Not polite behavior. But politics are not polite.

Of course it wasn’t racist to call Bush a chimp.I agree with you about the similarity. You have a good point. On the other hand, I don't know if anyone with an official political position got caught comparing Bush to a chimp. Usually, it was just a bunch of jerk-offs who didn't have a position to resign from. It's really not a smart thing to do for a person who has political ambitions or power.

Chimps are so close to humans dna-wise that there’s speculation the two could interbreed.
