Either the New York Post and famed cartoonist Sean Delonas are smart, desperate for sales or just plain idiots.
Today, they ran this cartoon in the Post, causing a big stir. I guess the joke is the stimulus bill is a piece of crap because a rabid monkey wrote it. The rabid monkey applies to the tragedy of the woman being mauled by a monkey the other day.
But it also applies the race issue. Everybody knows the monkey is a racial slur towards us. I know they had to think of that before posting this mess. This is very tacky, but in these desperate times and the print business failing they did what they had to do...stoop down to the lowest of the low.
The first person to comment on this is no other than, Al Sharpton:
The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that "Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill."
"Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill?"
I feel a boycott coming on.

You know, I can't even be upset about this. Is this all the opposition has in their arsenal, resorting to old, archaic notions of racism to attack a man that is their better in almost every respect?
I think these sort of immature, limited messages simply reveal them for who they are: dinosaurs who don't see the comet coming.
President Obama has bested them intellectually and morally and they have no other recourse but to expose themselves as the pathetic creatures that they are.
And now, ironically, the whole world can see them make monkeys out of themselves.
that is VERY tacky on their behalf...
Sean Delonas makes a living out of outraging people with his dipshit cartoons. He usually depicts gay people as limp-wristed sheep-fuckers (I'm not lying) - so comparing President Obama to a monkey is all in a days work for Mr. Delonas.
I once got so mad at a NY Post cartoon he drew, that I photocopied it - wrote "FUCK YOU" on the copy - and faxed it to the New York Post all day. This was in the days before the internet - so this guy has been pissing people off for YEARS now.
Remember, the New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch - owner of Fox News. Nuff said.
XOXOXOXO
Exactly...if anyone expects reasoned discourse from the NY POST or FOX NEWS really doesn't understand the point of these "media outlets."
