Yes, that's true. A lot of Americans do compare Obama to that of a rabid chimp!

The Associated Press: NY Post cartoon seems to link Obama to dead chimp

Read my post. Rev Sharpton called a news conference talking about the cartoon. It was covered by the local NY television stations. That is why he was mentioned.

But as lamexican pointed out you were happy to say "A lot of people compare Obama to a rabid chimp"

And no one killed or did any damage to Congress. In fact, they're doing better than they've done in two years: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the...l?hpid=topnews

Either way, Im puzzled as to who the unlabeled policemen are supposed to "be."

CT situation: The monkey was bad. The woman tried to spank the monkey. When that did not calm him, she fed him Xanax. Monkey became crazed and attacked woman. Cops shot monkey.

If only the cartoon would have first shown the woman spanking the money...the humor would have been apparent.

And when Al Sharpton is long gone from this earth...I don't want to be celebrating an official Al Sharpton birthday...unless, of course, he was born in the summer months.

It's always easy to "let it go" when the mass printed "hatetoon" isn't depicting you.

Excatly..The toon was a crude attempt to depict Obama as a chimp being bad in writing the Stimulus bill prompting the cops to shoot him.

Where do some of you shop for you're "clueless blinder googles". They must make things a lot easier.

But think how funny would it have been if it had shown the woman spanking Obama's monkey???
