NY Post Cartoon Links Obama to Dead Chimp
NBC ^ | 2/18/09 | staff

Posted on 02/18/2009 10:22:42 AM PST by pissant

A New York Post cartoon that appears to link President Obama to a violent chimpanzee drew criticism Wednesday on media Web sites and from civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton.

The cartoon in Wednesday's Post by Sean Delonas shows a dead chimp and two police officers, one with a smoking gun. The caption reads, “They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.''

The cartoon refers to Travis the chimp, who was shot to death by police in Stamford, Conn. on Monday after it mauled a friend of its owner.

It links the chimp to Obama, who signed his administration's economic stimulus plan on Tuesday.

“At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it,'' columnist Sam Stein wrote in the liberal-leaning Huffington Post. “Most provocatively, it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial.''

Bush isn't black.

So, if you are black, gay, a Kennedy, or connected to any of the aforementioned you may do or say anything you dream of saying or doing, but if you are white you are to back down and bow down to the tyranny of the minority.

Do I have that right?

I recommend reading Post #41;

Oh, please!

"They'll have to get someone else to write the next stimulus bill." They didn't kill the bill (and they almost suggest we still need another one). They killed the (supposed) author who is likened to a monkey.

Look! I'm about as un-PC as anyone here. I don't like to defend any sort of correctness, but this was in very bad taste.

The point is that the bill is so bad a monkey could have written it.

Obama did NOT write the stimulus bill, so THAT is the most direct and obvious thing!

I know this. You know this. But Obama being its champion is the "writer" in the eyes of at least 90% of the viewers of this cartoon. Saying that he didn't write the stimulus bill is sort of like suggesting that the speeches he gives aren't his either.

~ “The cartoon creator could have avoided any racist connotation whatsoever by labelling the chimpanzee as “Stimulus Bill,” rather than implying that he was the writer of the bill. It would make sense that the “Bill the Chimp” would have to be killed after mauling the public.” ~

That is true, and it’s a good idea. However, the cartoonist, bless his heart, was guilty of giving the public the benefit of the doubt regarding reader comprehension and recognizing the obvious.

People who have large adult male chimpanzees living in their homes have had ample opportunity to know that this sort of thing is "common" ~ which is why it's such an unusual sort of thing to do.

So, yeah, we'll use their personal tragedy to make political points elsewhere ~ and maybe they'll pay attention to the warnings given about having large adult male chimpanzees living in the home.

African-Americans must learn to live with their existential angst while one of their number is President. That’s why they will not riot. In fact, there are probably scam artists out there printing up “Obama Presidential Medallion” posters where you cut out his face surrounded with chimp hair and paste it to a dinner plate to lean on a cupboard shelf.

Next Shafton will say Obsambo carried over 90 % of the chimpanzee vote(satire). Liberals love to lie and create diversion to keep themselves as the victim.

Shafton only serves to make more people hate others in life. Shafton is one of the biggest racists in America, besides Rev Halfwhite wright and Osambo.

How convenient, shafton fails to mention the astronomical racist black attacks on causian Americans.

If Osambo gets his way, America will be the next South Africa with a Mugabe in charge.

As a primate myself, I take great umbrage to the comparison of Barry Obama to my nearly bi-pedal cousins. This is a tremendous insult to all in the tribe of hominini.

Yep, pretty much. Hopefully that’s not a surprise to you since it’s been like that for decades now.

At best it will stir up racial strife, at worst, riots and violence..

That's often the case whenever Sharpton gets involved.

But we'll see how much attention the MSM, especially the lefty New York MSM, give this.
