That’s what Leonard Riggio, founder and chairman of the Barnes & Noble bookstore chain says. According to him, anyone who would dare place a book with a picture of a monkey next to a book with a picture of Obama has committed a hate crime, and belongs in a federal prison.

This malicious and despicable act is nothing short of a hate crime, which should be punishable under federal statutes.

Of course, Barnes & Noble is always screaming “free speech” and “stop censorship” when Christians ask them not to sell blasphemous or obscene books. Free speech is for porno; it’s not for ridiculing Obama.

I'm sure this person will back me up when I say what about these instances of comparing the president to a monkey:

Oh wait, that's right! Libs are allowed to engage in such speech. Besides, Obama is black, that's different!!!!

I have 2 BN that I go to and both have window displays that are protected by Employee Area Only. They should check their employees first.

Not a hate crime. The Chairman & Founder is another stupid executive like George Soros, Warren Buffet, William Gates Sr. Just like morons from Hollywood like Sean “Adolf Hitler” Penn.

what an insult to monkeys everywhere! :(

[cripplecreek]

I'm as happy as zee leetle girl.

[Piquaboy]

I see no resemblance at all. Why all the fuss?

Black people cannot be criticized. When Mark Sanford mentioned Zimbabwe, he was being racist. No one can criticize without being labeled.

Where is PETA on this one? They should be here by now defending that poor monkey.

[Ukiapah Heep]

Maybe he should remove all books with photos of simians from his stores. Or maybe all books period.

Is this a hate crime?

I dunno, is this?

LOL! That’s him. Did you watch SNL last night? I did and it didn’t even make me smile one time. Sad state of affairs.

[Islander7]

I bet they would love this one!

[cripplecreek]

I haven’t watched SNL in years.

I have watched it every night since it’s beginning. There are good nights and bad nights, good years and bad years. Last night was bad and this year is weak.
