I don't get the cartoon, first of all. Can anyone explain the symbolism it is going for?

There are a lot of Dumbocrats with hate for Bush over the last 8 years that only increased. I strongly suspect that includes you, right?

I don't see a comparison to Obama, perhaps only to those who always want to cry the race card. Looks like it's representative of the do-nothing congress.

There is a line kootr and making a joke calling a dead chimp our president because you don't like his policies cross it. You can paint him as Stalin and whatever you like but a dead chimp is too far.

Default oh goog grief charliebrown

theres noway that when the person drew it he MEANT that maybe any monkey in CONGRESS could write the next bill. nah, a public paper just lets this picture out to make its skinhead readers happy. I am so fed-up with the over sensitive, progressive minded thinkers in this world. and where in this picture does it say Obama? and when did the president write the stimulis bill? I thought congress did that. but there I go with facts.

Already turning into a racial issue:Commentary: NY Post cartoon is racist and careless - CNN.com

This excerpt just blows my mind:

"What could be seen as silly humor if President George W. Bush were in the White House has to be seen through the lens of America's racist past, as noted by the leaders of the New York Association of Black Journalists, who also are demanding an apology from the Post"

So it's "funny" to call a white man a subhuman animal, but its racist to do it to a black man. BS.... it's innappropriate for all.....

You are really strange! Where in this thread have I said anything that makes you believe I crossed any line? All I did was post a link (from a mainstream media news organization) and said "Gotta love it!".

You are pulling crap out of thin air... You are suggesting that it was me that came up with that cartoon, or that I made a joke about your Messiah being compared to a chimpanzee. Can you read? You are one weird Dumbocrat with racism upper most on your mind!
