1) Barack Obama did not write the Stimulus Bill.
2) Pelosi and Congress wrote the Stimulus Bill (House bill).
3) The aforementioned panty-twisted hypocrites had no such qualms or sense of decency when referring to George W. Bush as a "Chimp," any more than they did in supporting and defending idiots like Michael Moore, Fifty Cent, and the producers of the George Bush assassination film.
4) As funny as the cartoon is, a chimp really is dead.
5) It would seem dissent is now a crime. Especially to the hyper-sensitive "yes, I'm a victim" Obama worshipers.
6) And with the death of "Dissent" our "Descent" as a nation of rights and freedoms is blatantly apparent to anyone but the Left.
7) What's next? the Fairness Doctrine? It's already on the table because the Left hate's dissent unless they are the purveyors of it.
8) Which makes the Left hypocrites.
9) I laughed hysterically when I saw this, and I can honestly say, thought's of Obama danced not one step in my mind. I saw Nancy Pelosi there... the Democrat Party there.
10) I am unswayed by your accusations of racism, though said accusations have yet to be posted. I believe such accusations are ludicrous and worthy of intelligent debate. If you can't see the cartoon for what it is that's on you, not me.
11) Barack Obama is not a king, emperor, messiah, or God in human flesh. He is a one-term president.
12) This is funniest (yet tragic considering the "real" chimp) I've seen in a very long time.
13) Al Sharpton is a Race-Mongering bigot of epic proportions.
Here's what columnist Bob Parks had to say:
First of all, while Al Sharpton is predictably going off assuming the chimp was a depiction of President Obama, who ever said he wrote the stimulus bill? I thought it was written by Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid, and staffers.Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) parried GOP assaults on Democrats’ $825 billion stimulus package Thursday and refused to slow the bill down to give more time for Republican input.
“Yes, we wrote the bill. Yes we won the election, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want sustainability or Republican support,” Pelosi said.
I wouldn't think they would be immune from chimp status.
Now let's say the cartoonist was lumping Barack Obama and a "rampaging chimpanzee" together. It may be a well-known place never to be trod, but this pales in comparison to the eight-year onslaught of vile caricatures of President Bush with virtually no Boston Globes coming to his defense in the name of "sensitivities".
This is (again) Democrats doing what Democrats do best: playing the race card while we can still afford the deck.
I think, before the Libtards criticize this cartoon they should apologize for the number of times they compared George W Bush to a monkey.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, they should keep their mouths shut. What's sauce for the goose...

ReplyDeleteIdiot says, "No one said Bush was a chimp"
ReplyDeleteUh, Yes they did. Many many times. Where have you been?

ReplyDeleteSorry, did you say something intelligent? Where have YOU been Feodor? Bush has been called a chimp for at least the last 4 years.
ReplyDeleteAs for this bit of idiocy...
"I think Eric is just now waking up to who won the Presidential election. And the Senate. And the House."
Uhhh, I started this blog a week before the election and invited some fellow bloggers to join in should Obama win, which was looking more and more likely the closer November 4th drew near. Sooo... you think I just found out Obama won the election? Where have you been? Have you not been reading here and at my place? What? Have I not been clear enough that Obama will be the death of America as we knew it?
Come on! You can do better than this! You're becoming a disappointment. No challenge whatsoever! You've become a caricature of Liberal reasoning.

ReplyDeleteFeo smugly writes, "I'll also point out that you and Mark and Eric tacitly accept the reading that the cartoon is referring to Obama by the way in which you guys want so quickly to say Bush was compared to a chimp."
ReplyDeleteWrong again, My erstwhile friend. You must have inhaled too much smoke from the World Trade center. Or, maybe some other kind of smoke, eh?
We are reacting to the unapologetic racist Al Sharpton proclaiming the cartoon to be a racist jab at Obama.
Art and Eric, and Mark understand there was no such intent in the cartoon. Only true racists such as yourself and Sharpton could make that incredible leap of logic.

ReplyDelete"While you fume..."? The only fumes are those emanating from you through your foul comments. I believe it's been made clear some time ago that you have positioned yourself as an unlikable sort of fool and such does not go down well here. So we are not likely to tolerate any comments from you that others might also use, simply because you've positioned yourself as an unlikable sort of fool. I believe a friend of Geoffrey's calls it "jackassery". As we are not perfect beings, nor do we attempt to portray ourselves as such, we are not above responding with some jackassery of our own. But note that it is only responsive in nature. You wear yours on your sleeve. Bad form, Jabbs.

ReplyDeleteThere is no "tacit acceptance" whatsoever that the cartoon refers to Obama. This is made quite clear by the post itself. If anyone tacitly accepts the cartoon as a dig at Obama it is the likes of Al Sharpton and the Liberal worshipers of Barack Obama. The hypocrisy is astounding, coming from the likes of Sharpton and Liberals nationwide who had, quote, "no such qualms or sense of decency when referring to George W. Bush as a "Chimp..." This post merely points out their hypocrisy. And last time I checked, calling someone a hypocrite is not the same as comparing them to a dead chimp.
ReplyDeleteThis statement...
"If that's not to be Obama the monkey with bullet holes, but Pelosi or Reid, then give me Google images of Hastert and Lott as chimps."
...is irrelevant. It makes no point whatsoever to the point that chimp in not representative of Obama. It is rhetorical obfuscation. No one here is asking for an apology, just point out the hypocritical "outrage".
The only thing that is out of the bag here is Feodor's boorishness. And that cat's been out and about for far too long.

ReplyDeleteFeodor,
ReplyDeleteThe hypocrisy is in those who claim the cartoon was a reference to Obama and the fact that they didn't speak out against Bush being called a chimp. It really has nothing to do with whether or not the cartoon WAS about Obama.
In addition, even if the cartoon WAS about Obama, it was a slight on his intelligence being equal to a chimp, not the black race being equal to chimps. That's quite a distinction.
I will state, however, that as the black race has been compared to chimps, this cartoon, despite the actual intention of the cartoonist, was likely a bad choice of images, timely or not.
Whatever the intention of the cartoonist, charges of racism are nothing more than distractions, as the point of the cartoon was to lambast the intelligence of the stimulus bill itself. Thus, the racism charges are themselves lame and unjustified, but more importantly, an act that insults those who are true victims of racism. It's another case of libs playing the racism card to disparage the right.

ReplyDeleteFeodor somehow justifies Al Sharpton's racist comments with the statement, "In this case, the first opinion given by "the other side" was that it is okay to portray Bush as a monkey.
ReplyDeleteThe subsequent opinion being given now by that side is that is not okay to portray Obama as a monkey."
Feodor, in this case, is exactly correct. The first opinion given by Democrats is that it is OK to portray Bush as a monkey.
The subsequent opinion now given by those same Democrats is that it is not OK to portray Obama as a monkey.
And Feodor fails to see hypocrisy in this? How?
Then Feodor gives credibility to me (Thanks, Feodor)when he says, "The first comment by Mark states outright that Democrats have no right to criticize the cartoon because they portrayed Bush as a monkey. Now that the shoe is on the other foot (Obama as monkey) they can't cry foul because "what's good for the goose (Bush) is good for the gander (Obama)."
Yes, that is exactly what I meant. But Al Sharpton is claiming the cartoon is racist. It's not, but, for the sake of argument, if it was a portrayal of Obama as a monkey, it isn't necessarily racist, anyway.
I could say Feodor is a babboon, but that in no way characterizes Feodor's entire race as babboons.
Just Feodor himself, which probably isn't that far from the truth. I'm sure there are some monkeys who can type just as coherently as Feodor.
The only way the cartoon could be construed as out-and-out racist would be if the cartoonist had labeled the chimp with the term "black people" and then explained he meant blacks are monkeys because they are black, or that monkeys are black because they are monkeys, before it can be interpreted a direct slur directed towards blacks in general.
It makes more sense to say Obama has the intelligence of a monkey than to say he is a monkey, if one takes the cartoon in context of the subject.
Except, the cartoon isn't referring to Obama at all, but rather, Monkey brained Democrats.
Therefore, it can in no way be construed as racist except by those (like Sharpton)who are searching for any reason to divide the country along racial lines.
By the way, this whole fiasco is symptomatic of what we are going to have to put up with from the likes of Sharpton throughout the remainder of Obama's administration.
ReplyDeleteEvery time (and I mean EVERY TIME) anybody criticizes B. Hussein Obama, Sharpton and all his equally race baiting followers will scream "Racism".
Because of racists such as Sharpton, Obama's Presidency may well be remembered as an administration that divided the country along racial lines rather than for anything he might have accomplished, good or bad.
Even if that isn't what Obama intended.
Sharpton is his own worst enemy, and Obama, if he doesn't muzzle Sharpton and the others, will become his own worst enemy when it comes to race relations.
I dare say Obama is enough of his own worst enemy without Sharpton's help.
Hey, Feodor, guess what I, as an administrator of this blog, can do that you can't.

ReplyDeleteI wanted to point out some things about the Post, the chimp controversy, and Sharpton, that might not be as clear, if you're not from here...
ReplyDeleteFirst off, the day before the cartoon, some wealthy old dowager who kept a 200-pound chimp called a girlfriend to help her calm him down, after he went berserk...the chimp attacked the woman badly.
She lost her eyes, parts of her cheekbones, and her jaw...she is in stable condition and will probably need a face transplant.
The cops shot and killed the chimp when he approached them, and it died...
It was a very sensationalist story here, and it was against this backdrop that the illustrator drew the cartoon. I don't believe ANY illusion was made between Obama being shot, Sharpton being shot, or any of the other race-baiting ideas being thrown about.
Sharpton, who actually has a home in my neighborhood (sigh) has an organization called the National Action Network, that waits for racially sensitive "issues" to pop up, and they pounce, allegedly to "educate"...what they want, is loud demonstrations, massive publicity, and a sizable donation to...the National Action Network.
It has nothing to do with Obama, it has nothing to do with Bush...it's all about the "Benjamins"! In other words, it's a shakedown.
It's gone on for years now, and even most of the blacks that I know despise Sharpton for it all.
Hash, the chimp story made national news. We all know why the cartoon depicted a chimp. Feodor would have us believe the cartoonist was depicting the monkey as Obama, which he didn't, as the post here makes quite clear. Only a racist like Sharpton (and apparently Feodor) could see racism in the cartoon.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Feodor, you are losing your ability to think coherently. You need professional help. Really. Get help.

ReplyDeleteFeodor sniffs, "This last instance does not reflect very well on your Christian character since you speak for my opinion and will not let me point out the wrong to you and others."
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with you stating your opinion. Even when it is dead wrong as in this instance. That last snarky little dig at me personally, is why your otherwise semi-thoughtful comment was deleted.
You are losing it, Feo, you really do need help. I mean that sincerely.
"I would have thought Eric could appreciate my clarifying my position as you have mischaracterized (sic) me.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he would have. Had you not felt compelled to tag it with the insult to me, I would have let it stand.
