The woman did an idiotic thing. I am not assuming she meant to be malicious but she sure as heck was not thinking. She should acknowledge her poor judgment and then shut the heck up about it.

Why?

See Post 11

Or are you one who thinks it's okay that the opposition retains the right to decide what is appropriate in any given circumstance. Can you name any caricaturization of a black individual that would NOT be considered "racist"? The lib's mainstreamed the chimp imagery in connection with GWB. Now it should be off limits?

We need to stop defending stuff that should not be defended just because it was done by another conservative.

I'd say you need to stop attacking stuff that should not be attacked just because it was done by another conservative.

Maybe this is more to your liking:

The opposition is not my moral compass nor is the home team. A person would have to be totally oblivious to cultural history not to know the arguments hard core racists used to justify first enslaving blacks and secondly to enshrine inequality into law.

Like it or not a big part of that argument was based on the “scientific” idea that blacks had not evolved as completely as whites and were therefore closer to other primates such as chimpanzees than they were to white “humans.”

So yes it was idiotic even when done without malice. To not get that is to play right into the hands of those who do idolize Obama and who hate those who don’t.

So save your criticizing stupid behavior by a conservative equals worhiping Obama for some ignorant hick who can be intimidated by personal slurs.
