Have not seen the NY Post pages, but according to a posting by an evangelical gentleman on the internet, next to the cartoon was a photo of Obama signing the act into law. I think it would be hard for readers not to connect the photo with the cartoon. Someone thought this was funny. I wonder if our policemen across the country think it was funny.

To all who defend this cartoon as “misunderstood”.

The message of a cartoon is wholly in how it is perceived, not in how it is intended.

The idea that anyone with even half a brain could look at this cartoon and honestly believe that those who published it didn’t know it would be racially, politically, and ideologically inflammatory, and then published it for purely sensationalistic purposes, is deluding themselves.

If everyone here would stop trying to make this some kind of con/lib war and take an honest look at the history of this country’s race relations over the last 50 years, even an idiot can see why this type of “journalistic” behavior is just stupid.

Frankly, I couldn’t give a sh*t how you classify yourself politically or ideologically. Intelligent people across the entire ideological spectrum can see this for what it is. Divisive bullsh*t.

It hurts when the same comparisons are coming their way. This is only the begging. They will have a few years yet to be outraged. The better get s bunch of tissue ready for their crock tears.

Only bad taste is drawing parallels between chimpanzee and incompetence of congress – and animals are smarter than those morons. As has been noted before, nothing in this cartoon had anything to do with Obama as he did not write the bill.

Also, left has already opened the floodgates between comparing president and chimpanzee during the Bush term, so closing that gate just because of Obama’s father’s origins would be racist. Now if republicans themselves choose not to make such comparisons (to date I have heard no such thing), they prove themselves vastly more mature than democrats. Time will tell.

While the cartoon is in pretty bad taste, if one uses the powers of logic to decipher the message it is clear – CLEAR, I tell you – that the writer of the bubble text was referring to Congress (trained monkeys) and not to president Obama.

Learn to READ, people!

Miss Salsa, Nick, Simpson, T Gill, if you leave you liberalism behind for a moment and join us here in Reality Land, you might realize that it has nothing to do with Obama, since he wrote virtually none of the bill, and, like probably everyone in Congress, did not read it. He outsourced it to Nancy and Harry, who are the authors of a bill that is going to leave a monetary monkey on the back of every American for generations to come.

Excuse me, but the caption says “write” the next stimulus bill. Obama signed the bill. Pelosi wrote it, with input from other congresscritters during the legislation process. Since he had nothing to do with it’s writing, this is an insult to Obama only in the minds of those who wish to see it.

Forget the global warming fight. It was over a junk science scare anyway. Take on the new fight AGAINST DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM.
The bama socialist agenda from Stimulus on is in reality a Democratic Socialist’s dream.
People voted for the bama because he was black. I do not believe they voted for him because he was going to destroy our country by destroying capitalism and every good American tradition we had. We are not going to be singing INTERNATIONAL in place of our National Anthem.
Bread and Roses are not going to be worn on our lapels instead of the American Flag.
WATCH!

My outrage isn’t manufactured. Neither is your utter lack of moral, cultural, or historical sensitivity. However, I would not pretend to expect insight or sensitivity from a web-sight dedicated to the destruction of the ACLU. God save your soul.

This test is, quite simply, like a Rorschach test, and anyone who finds it amusing would certainly be signifying their racism — if not to themselves, to every one else with an ounce of judgment.
