She is shaded black and he is not shaded at all.

Aside from its definite racial overtones, the cartoon is completely mindless--a monkey throwing poop. It makes no political points, sensible or otherwise.

I agree. As outrageous as it is, I can't see anything racist.
To: EveningStar
Juvenile. Reflects poorly on the creating entity not the subjects.
To: All
The point is if a Republican cartoonist(say Bruce Tinsley) did the same thing to black Dems..it would be deemed racist. And EVERYBODY here would be criticizing him.

LibertyJihad? I took the name after 9-11. The islamofascist apologists kept insisting that "jihad" did not mean war against infidels, but was simply synonomous with the term "striving". Since I think we should all strive for liberty, I took the name LibertyJihad.

not racist? substitute the word "massah" for "chief"As I posted previously, if Oliphant had drawn her calling the President, "Massah," that would be racist.
But, he didn't.

Oh. Well, they were wrong. It means holy war.
Not compatible with liberty.

No offense to anyone reading this (disclaimer).
What's racist is the overt implication that Condi is Bush's 'nigger'. Highly offensive it is.

I think that it was Ted Rall who dishonored Tillman
Yeah. :-) I replied before THINKING about it. Thanks to everybody who corrected me. :-)

To: Molly Pitcher
Oliphant, an immigrant to this country, has made a career out of "in your face" cartoons.
Like many of today's media stars, he has exchanged honor for the prestige, money, and ego boosts that can come from being a puppet for deep pockets like the NYT.
In this case, I think most fair minded Americans will agree that his racist presentation of the just elevated Condi Rice was deplorable......but he will be protected by Mr. Salzberger.

Re 194.....Why explain the obvious to a dunce?
To: newgeezer
"Oh. I guess I only saw an overt implication that Condi is Bush's 'parrot,' 'yes woman,' etc."
Yeah...and we all know how overt Democrats are about anything. The fact is we have seen a pattern when it comes to the Left's description of Rice...whether it was the paradody of Rice to the music of "Mona Lisa"...or the aluminum tubes. When there is such a history of this, it is not unreasonable to attribute racial overtones to anything these people do.
What's fascinating is that liberals would continue to do this when they know there is a sensitivity with this issue...especially since they are the Party that insists we be conscience of other people's sensitivities. Putting the racism aside...it's the hypocrisy!

I believe the cartoonist tried very hard to hide the racism by making Condi a parrot. Typical overreaction. He made her a parrot because she PARROTS every statement and view of GWB. Simple as that.
You may not agree, you may not like it, but there's nothing racist about it.
