Created by a Kaos kid, quelle surprise! Who, really, are the racists, hmmmm?

PLEASE GOD, allow me to view the monkey. Any image of Michelle Obomama is far to foul and reprehensible a creature to gaze upon!!!!

Did the movie "1984" have a theme song? 'Cause this is the place to start humming it...but the "offensive" picture is still available if you search "Michelle Obama ape" according to this article, which is from a white supremacist website--wonder why it wasn't censored there too?

Wonder how long it will take Google to remove those multi-million pages of pictures of anti-semitism, especially since they apologized for them in *2004* and they are still there?? Anyone? Bueller??

Guess it won’t be long before I need to ask the mods to update my header, to “Google disses First Amendment by censoring ‘offensive’ images of FLOTUSMO”

This is how it begins, people. I don’t agree with the picture—BUT the censorship is the scary thing here! What will be ‘offensive’ next? I’ve seen lots of pics of HolyO with Dumbo ears, caricatures, etc. Will those be censored out of Google as well? What about all those (as others here have rightly pointed out) offensive images of Bush, Cheney, Rice, Palin, etc.? Those going too? Or just the ones involving liberals?

“Some animals are more equal than others”—oh, my.

There was an article to this effect about the uproar that the word "arab" used to bring up articles describing the "offensive" the deeds of those to whom the moniker pertains.

Google seems to have corrected that.

The arabs were also successful in having the word "arab" changed in the dictionary.

When it comes to "jew," Google offers a disclaimer. I remember seeing George Bush portrayed as a Monkey quite often in the past. I guess it's only permissible to insult white people.
