Last week the cartoon pictured above created a "racial uproar" (led by "Rev" Al Sharpton of course). They (along with many others) were completely offended that Obama was being portrayed as a Chimp. Now take a look at these past cartoons...
This whole media circus with the "Obama Chimp Cartoon" is completely idiotic, and here is why...
1) Where was the uproar when Bush was made out to be a monkey/chimp/etc? Nobody cared.
2) This cartoon is an obvious poke at the stimulus plan...saying even a monkey could have created it...that's the whole point of the cartoon.
3) Even IF this cartoon was directed at a person, Hello...Obama didn't write the stimulus, Pelosi did. So she would be the chimp, not Obama.
4) This cartoon is in bad taste because a woman is fighting for her life after the attack, and I am sure her loved ones don't want to see this cartoon in the news over and over and over, yet nobody seems to care about the effect it has on the family of the person who was attacked. That should be the real issue, but Sharpton and clan do not seemed too concerned about that.
So here is the real issue...the so-called "tolerant group" is being very intolerant (they are tolerant only when you agree with them). And above all else, I think those with the real racism issue are those who looked at this cartoon, saw a chimp, and immediately assumed it was Obama (even though he didn't write the plan). Automatically equating the chimp to a black man Mr. Sharpton is where the real race problem is..
What do you all think?
