Sharpton is not a chimp. Chimp’s have more sanity.

I can’t see why Foghorn Sharpton has got his panties in a wad over this. That cartoon was accurate and right on the money. Only a buffoon like Foghorn would see racism in it. He isn’t smart enough to “get it”.

Statement: "Chimpgate continues to rile Americans"

Response: Perhaps some, most of them understand the cartoon completely, and laughed.

Rev Sharpton is a rodent, not a chimp.

So for eight years, we endured endless cartoons and depictions of President Bush as a chimp - and it was THE thing to do.

Now, someone puts a chimp in a cartoon and viola, it’s racist?

For all thin-skinned Libs of whatever color, “what ye sow, so shall ye reap.” Live with it, it ain’t gonna get any better.

From the article: Joined by several hundred activists, Mr. Sharpton picketed the Post's Manhattan offices Thursday, armed with placards emblazoned with such mottos as "Shut down the Post" and "Not Funny. Shameful."

While the cartoon may have been tasteless, The Post was exercising freedom of expression. Oh wait...I forgot that only libs can exercise that right. Sorry!

The MSM is putting as much effort into ginning up this story as they did to quash Obama's "lipstick on a pig" gaffe.

Al Sharpton = Deliberate Stupidity.

Al Sharpton himself is contemptible, but he's a symptom of our upside-down culture that allows these race hucksters to be taken seriously.

Sean Hannity treats him like an elder statesman when he’s a guest.

Hey, reverend Chimpton... What goes around, comes around. I’ve been collecting chimp/obozo pics for weeks now, looking for suitable pairings that I can make into a giant wall-sized poster. No howling, now. What goea around and all.

Anything that riles up Al Sharpton and his bunghole buddies has to be seen, all in all, as a good thing. Failure to engage him and his homies in this way would be a cowardly act on the part of whites.
