Today on The View, the hens went full-force on the NY Post editorial cartoonist, Sean Delonis, which portrayed two cops standing over a chimpanzee which has been obviously shot fatally, while the caption reads "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." Now, clearly EVERYBODY knows that Obama only signed the bill. The bill was written by Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid, but oh, no, The View bitches had to immediately infer that the chimp in the cartoon was Obama. Everyone on the panel took great pains to exhibit their self-righteous indignation, with calls of blatant racism, blah, blah, and more blah. The only one that said one thing I agree with was Joy (shock!), and that was all Americans enjoy TOTAL free speech. Elisabeth was even out-to-lunch on this one, too, shilling for the politically-correct loons in this country. I just say, give it a rest, everyone. And for the comediennes (Joy, Whoopi & Sherri) on the panel: cartoons are not ALWAYS meant to be funny - that's the precise nature of editorial cartoons, which this selection by cartoonist Delonas was. An editorial cartoon - meant to be illustrative of one's perceptions of another political group; not humorous to all.

It looks like the president was a little upset today during a hastily called press conference about the NY Posts cartoon depicting the president as a monkey. Still, he seems more upset about having his CHICKEN DINNER disturbed. Go figure.

The title says it all.
Feb. 18: Rev. Al Sharpton expresses his outrage over the New York Posts decision to run a cartoon featuring a cops shooting and killing a chimpanzee with the caption, Theyll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.
A recent cartoon printed in the New York Post is believed by some to be racist, the discussion escalates........
Civil Rights groups criticized a New York Post cartoon as racist Wednesday, saying it likened President Barack Obama to an ape -- a potent image in the history of racism toward blacks. The cartoon, which the newspaper defended as a parody of Washington politics, depicts a police shooting of an ape, playing off the real shooting of a pet chimpanzeee 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 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. "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," civil rights activist Al Sharpton said. Calling the cartoon "offensive and divisive," he promised to stage a demonstration outside the Post offices Thursday. New York City Councilman Leroy Comrie said he received numerous calls from outraged constituents. "To run such a violent, racist cartoon is an insult to all New Yorkers. This was an unfortunate incident in which a human being was seriously injured, not an opportunity to sling dangerous rhetoric," Comrie said in a statement. Police in Stamford, Connecticut, shot and killed a 200-pound (90-kg) chimpanzee 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 was "a clear parody." "It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist," Allan said. But the National Association of Black Journalists called the cartoon "the lowest common denominator of taste and class." "The publisher and editors of The New York Post owe its readers an explanation," association President Barbara Ciara said in a statement.

At first glance, the main editorial cartoon in today's New York Post seemed like just another lurid reference to the story that the tabloid had been covering with breathless abandon for two days running - the shooting by Connecticut police on Monday of a pet chimpanzee that viciously attacked his owner's friend.But the caption cast the cartoon in a more sinister light. "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," it read, prompting accusations that the Post was peddling a longstanding racist slur by portraying president Barack Obama, who signed the bill into law yesterday, as an ape.

A New York Post cartoon that some have interpreted as comparing President Obama to a violent chimpanzee drew outrage from civil rights leaders and elected officials who said it echoed racist stereotypes. (Feb. 18)
There was an editorial cartoon in the New York Post that people have called rascist and very offense to our new president. I'm just arguing against that claim. I actually support Obama all the way, but I feel these accusations on the cartoon and its illustrator are false. It's all about interpretation and ideology. This isn't my normal video with lots of joking around or music playing in the background, I felt that this was important to talk about so I posted this. And I know this video is way long, but please bear with it if you feel this issue to be important, the issue reconciles the length of the video. And ignore the random sounds going on in the background.. it was my furnace lol I'm deleting all comments that don't say anything relevant to the issue because if all you're gonna say how stupid I am or poke fun at my ethnicity, then your missing the point of the argument. Say something relevant or don't say anything at all. This is a debate, so treat it as such.
NEW YORK - The New York Post is standing behind a cartoon that some have interpreted as comparing President Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee gunned down by police. The cartoon in Wednesday's Post by Sean Delonas shows two police officers standing over the body of a bullet-riddled chimp. One of the officers says the other, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."

2/18/09 NY Post cartoon seems to link Obama to dead chimp By KAREN MATTHEWS NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Post is standing behind a cartoon that some have interpreted as comparing President Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee gunned down by police. The cartoon in Wednesday's Post by Sean Delonas shows two police officers standing over the body of a bullet-riddled chimp. One of the officers says the other, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." Civil rights activist Al Sharpton called the cartoon "troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys." But Sharpton said the Post should clarify the point it was trying to make with the cartoon, which was playing off Monday's rampage by a pet chimpanzee in Stamford, Conn., that left a woman severely mauled. Police ended up killing the chimp. In a statement, Post Editor-in-Chief Col Allan said: "The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist." A story about the cartoon on the liberal-leaning Huffington Post Web site drew hundreds of reader responses, many calling the cartoon racist and insensitive. Sam Stein, a columnist for the site, wrote that "at its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Most provocatively, it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jlBBpB0_XF-eJt6GGtXCSl5bfV1AD96E6PC02

Reverend Al Sharpton comments on a New York Post political cartoon linking President Obama and a chimpanzee on "Countdown". In the cartoon, two cops shoot a chimpanzee dead, and one of the cops says to the other, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." The cartoon contains a reference to a story in which Connecticut police had to shoot a pet chimpanzee dead because it was attacking a human being. The cartoon also refers to the economic stimulus bill, recently signed by President Barack Obama. The New York Post has "a real deep seeded disregard for people's feelings," said Sharpton to Keith Olbermann. "The shooting of the chimpanzee had nothing to do with the stimulus bill."

A cartoon likening the author of the stimulus bill, perhaps President Barack Obama, with a rabid chimpanzee graced the pages of the New York Post on Wednesday. The drawing, from homophobic cartoonist Sean Delonas, is rife with violent imagery and racial undertones. In it, two befuddled-looking police officers holding guns look over the dead and bleeding chimpanzee that attacked a woman in Stamford, Connecticut.

Editor's email: col.allan@nypost.com Washington, D.C. (BNO NEWS) -- The New York Post has published a cartoon by Sean Delonas which appears to compare President Obama to the chimpanzee from a brutal Connecticut attack on Monday. The woman who was badly injured in the attack remains in critical condition today. Officials said her face was "ripped away" by the animal. Source: BNO NEWS http://www.bnonews.com/news/125.html MY OPINION: Everyday someone wants to act a fool! The NY Post is at again. And ppl wonder why I have reservation about the other side. National Action Network http://nationalactionnetwork.net Source: The Huffington Post New York Post Chimp Cartoon Compares Stimulus Author To Dead Primate A cartoon likening the author of the stimulus bill, perhaps President Barack Obama, with a rabid chimpanzee graced the pages of the New York Post on Wednesday. The drawing, from famed cartoonist Sean Delonas, is rife with violent imagery and racial undertones. In it, two befuddled-looking police officers holding guns look over the dead and bleeding chimpanzee that attacked a woman in Stamford, Connecticut. "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," reads the caption. An email to Delonas and a call to the New York Post went unreturned. The cartoon appears both on the New York Post website and page 12 of the Wednesday paper. At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Others believe it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial. Perhaps that's what Delonas wanted. UPDATE: Rev. Al Sharpton has weighed in on the cartoon in a statement: "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?"
