you also don't see us demeaning other people and posting racist comments like tocco05 either. he does it here because he can get away with it without reprecussions. there's a difference in being an idiot and clamoring for attention so i'm going to say things that grab peoples attention like tocco does all the time everyday.
this kid screams 35 year old lives in his basement never had sex before. he probably does that shit on youtube to get attention as well. he's a troll, a kid.
its more annoying than anything.
people saying this is racist are the real ones that are racist...they are the ones seeing the "black" connection...

Do you know Rush & most of the Republicans on this board opposed Bush's stimulus bill?
Do you know that Republican Senators are what stopped a auto makers bailout package in December 2008, a bill Bush supported?
Thats the stupidest thing I've read all day. And I read alot of Tocc's shit. Tell me Busty, since when did they attibute this stimulus bill to George Bush? Exactly what relavence does George Bush have in today's cartoon.
Like attorney general Holter said today, "When it comes to the issue of race we're still a nation of cowards." He was talkin about you. lol
LOL, come to think of it the above statement is almost as stupid as those who said, black people voting for Obama is considered racist.

Bush had a stimulus bill as well. Bush wanted the big 3 bailout. Bush has been compared to a monkey for 8 years. Sounds relevant to this discussion to me.
the government is nationalizing the entire banking industry pretty much (as well as other industries like auto) and all these people want to do is protest about a stupid cartoon
america is fucked

New Yorkers to boycott NY Post over "racist" cartoon
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Hundreds of demonstrators rallied to boycott the New York Post on Thursday, branding the newspaper as racist for publishing a cartoon that appeared to compare President Barack Obama to a chimpanzee.
Demonstrators led by civil rights activist Al Sharpton chanted "End racism now!" outside the parent company's skyscraper in midtown Manhattan and called for the jailing of Rupert Murdoch, whose international media conglomerate News Corp owns the Post.
The newspaper has defended the cartoon as a parody of Washington politics, but Sharpton said it exploited a potent image in the history of racism toward blacks.
Published on Wednesday, it shows police shooting an ape and plays on the real shooting of a pet chimpanzee that went on a rampage in Connecticut this week.
One of the police officers says, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."
Because Obama promoted the $787 billion economic stimulus that he signed into law on Tuesday, critics of the cartoon interpreted the dead chimp as a reference to Obama, who became the first black U.S. president on January 20.
"I guess they thought we were chimpanzees," Sharpton said. "They will find out we are lions."
Sharpton said he would meet with advertisers to encourage them to pull their ads and said New Yorkers would boycott the newspaper.
"You would have to be in a time warp or in a whole other world not to know what that means," said demonstrator Charles Ashley, 25, a model who did not believe the cartoon was an innocent political joke.
Others said it made light of assassinating Obama, a possibility they said that worries many African-Americans.
"Just the fact that they put a monkey with gunshot wounds in his chest, it gives the idea of an assassination," said Peter Aviles, 48, a building superintendent.
Police in Stamford, Connecticut, shot and killed a 200-pound (90-kg) chimpanzee on Monday after the pet nearly killed its owner's friend and attacked a police car. The chimp, named Travis, had once starred in television commercials and was taking medication for Lyme disease.
New York Post Editor-in-Chief Col Allan said in a statement the cartoon "broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy."

Maybe the cartoonist isn't happy about all these bailouts for people who do not understand the term "personal responsability"...and maybe he made a witty cross-reference to another major story in the media....and maybe that's all there is to it
Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. There are some sharp posters here, including 3peet and other lefties. But you guys are way off here.
Those that jumped at the chance to call this a racist cartoon are showing their true colors, if you will. It not only shows they see everything in terms of white vs. black, but it also demonstrates their lack of understanding in regards to the authors of the stimulus bill.
The cartoon was about connecting two separate news stories of the day. It did not mention Obama by name. What's funny is the brain dead victim hood leaders up in arms about the lack of respect. Compare and contrast what these losers and their media cohorts did to President Bush, actually calling him a monkey and thousands of other disrespectful things.
The hypocrisy is beyond comprehension, except when you consider how stupid so many leftie losers actually are.
Pathetic victim hood losers are losers. We will never have a color blind society with so many victim hood losers cwywing all the twime.
"Poor poor pitiful me". LOL No wonder they need a fucking messiah.
Stand up and be a man already
