NAACP wants NY Post editor and cartoonist fired

By VERENA DOBNIK, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK – The head of the NAACP on Saturday urged readers to boycott the New York Post, calling a cartoon that the newspaper published an invitation to assassinate President Barack Obama.

Benjamin Todd Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, called on the tabloid to remove editor-in-chief Col Allan, as well as longtime cartoonist Sean Delonas.

Earlier this week, the newspaper apologized to anyone who might have been offended by the image printed Wednesday, which some say likens Obama to a violent chimpanzee gunned down by police in Connecticut. Jealous said the cartoon was "an invitation to assassination."

On Thursday, after protests by notable figures including director Spike Lee, the paper posted an editorial on its Web site saying the cartoon was meant to mock the federal economic stimulus bill, but "to those who were offended by the image, we apologize."

Yeah, and I want a house at the shore; and I'm not going to get that, either.

The NAACP is starting to act like the Muslims in Europe when the Danish cartoons were published. Any connection?

The pro-slavery pro-KKK Democratic Congress has decided that monkeys are racist.
Zoos are a danger and must be closed. [The world is upside down.]

Gee, I wonder they’d react to a picture of Obama with a bomb in his turban.

The NAACP is a racist organization run by and for professional negros.

If they fire them, then Eric Holder is right... They’re cowards on race!

This is the same NAACP, that was so outraged over the ad that blamed President Bush for the dragging death of a African American, if I am not mistaken.

What a bunch of pussies. The NAACP is one of the biggest racist groups in the Country and they get away with it because as Holder said we are Cowards when it comes to race. The NY Post should tell them to STFU. Their sales would probably go up.

Come on now, the only KKK member the NAACP remembers is David Duke (R-LA). Sheets Byrd gets a pass from the NAACP and liberal media.

“The NY Post should tell them to STFU.”

That would make a great headline & a great tag line!
