This may be a God-send for the cartoonist.  I mean, to try to draw a connection between the porkulus, and the DOA chimp?  He must be struggling for material.  This may rev up his career quite nicely.  I expect to see his work in Newsmax or American Spectator on a regular basis.

Am I the only one who is most struck by the fact that Rev. Al is giving the NY Post a pass on the race card thing?  Instead of going full-bore with the race card, Rev. Al says the NY Post ought to 'splain itself.

Apparently it is not yet OK to trash the media that supported Obama, even when they seem to firmly step on their own dick.

Did everybody miss that, or did you all pass over that to do the rightous indignation stuff?

stay safe.

A very interesting point, that.

He IS going full bore on the race card.  Don't let the nice talk fool you.  It's not that nice.  Plus, this bit from the article in the OP:
Quote
Sharpton called the cartoon offensive and divisive.


As an aside, I don't think talk of stepping on [body part] is allowed in the Round Table.  Just my interpretation, of course.

I didn't find the cartoon all that humorous.  But political editorials are supposed to create debate and this one sure did.

.

On a side note, the chimp that was shot attacked a woman in CT.  Given CT's track record, I expect some lame CT representative will be penning a bill shortly to require people to register chimps with the CT State Police.  Chimps will be renamed as "Assault Primates" and any new chimps will be banned if they have three or more comestic parts that add up to the newly invented definition of Assault Primates".  The bill will be named after the victim- they'll call it the Nash Act.

.

Now, I return you to the regularly schedule program on the meaning of monkeys in cartoons.  :laugh:

The manufactured indignation groups are planning to have protests. They must need some money.

I wonder if Jackson is going to try a shakedown.

Yeah, it's offensive.

so what?  Was Obama damaged by the cartoon?  Did it hurt him at all?
I doubt it.

And I got spanked for stating that I wanted to use a particular pic to sight-in my new rifle?

Yes you did. 
I'm sorry you can't see the difference between a thread questioning the the cartoonists motives and you wanting to use a prominent politicians photograph for target practice.............the distinction is pretty obvious to me.

And on that little note, we're going to direct people's attention to other threads here in The Round Table.

Why?

Because this one's done.
