Contemptible Cartooning

The New York Post published a cartoon this week that is beginning to generate anger and controversy over the depiction of Barack Obama as a monkey:


Al Shapton released the following 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?

Check out this blog for more examples of Sean Delonas' hate-filled cartoons. Apparently, he thinks that women are whores; that gays are sheep-fucking cross-dressing freaks; and that democrats are terrorist-lovers. And in case you didn't know, Heather Mills has one leg-- apparently, Sean Delonas thinks that's funny too.
