I think its a play on the Infinite Monkey Theorem. You know, 535 "monkeys" on 535 typewriters producing an infinite amount of unintelligent babble that nobody is going to ever read anyway.

its logical because black people are called and have been called monkeys by [SOME] WHITES throughout history in the US. thats the difference.

call a white guy/gal a monkey it has no connations to it historically, its like cooking on a non stick pot/pan it doesnt stick

I do remember newspapers showing pictures of apes and chimps hanging from trees, all the time referencing people of color in their article. That was in good ole' Northern Arkansas. And, believe it or not, racism still abounds all over the place there.

The cartoon had a purpose.

I think tomorrows internet discussion should be the home address(s) of Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Post, and Col Allan, Editor in Chief of the Post, and Sean Delonas, the artist of the cartoon. I say POST their names, addresses, telephone numbers, companies Murdoch is associated with and then let the public express their views personally to each of them.

Murdoch is associated with News Corporation. You can Google it and get lots of information. He is associated with FOX TV, FOX Sports, CBS News and owns The Wall Street Journal and Times Hearld Record. He's asociated with National Geographic Channel. Oh yes, CBS News also is on that list.

So, if you feel any objection to the New York Post's rancid cartoon, then take action!

For Republican Bush lovers: I have decided the foundation for the Bush / Hitler association must have stemed from his Grandfather, Prescott Bush and his support, via his business, of Hitler. You can also Google a 1941 newspaper article about the Feds ceasing his funds.

Research is good. I do believe we might be headed back to the age of destruction.

Oh yes, I heard Murdoch is trying to obtain Direct TV. Can you imagine the spewing of crap if he does get more media outlets. After all, doesn't he own the satellite in the heavens that is requiring a change to pay-tv.

Get smart. We're all in this together.

Default Pulitzer Prize IF

... Bush was still in office -- and that cartoonist gets a chuckle from Dems & Repubs alike. That cartoon runs regardless of who's Prez. The guy was obviously busting on the Plan.


People need to get a grip. O won't have it 1/10000th as bad as GW. (Or McCain would have; that Conn, chimp would have been depicted an "Old Senile" chimp with Dementia or some other diss for that matter.)

I think all of you who see a chimp depicted and jump to the conclusion someone is making fun of black humans are actually the racists. Why do you think blacks look any more like monkeys than whites? That's your own problem I think.

I always thought Bush did have certain expressions and facial features of a chimp -- but so does Obama. Just like Bush said "I'm the Decider" and Obama constantly boasts "I won", and neither one see a problem with the government spending trillions of dollars it doesn't have, the two seem very very much alike.

It's why that douchebag who wrote the "cartoon" has so many supporters.
Prejudiced much?

Racism is a form of prejudice. So while you may not be racist, you're obviously prejudiced.

Dooshbag means what?

BTW, I'm not a "right winger". I try not to use labels, you seem to prefer them.
