Could conservatives please show a little more class?

Ok, there is a big outrage going on with the cartoon of the monkey getting shot. Now I am a big advocate of freedom of speech however it seems as though the conservatives this time have come to the double standard. When blacks have shown outrage over this picture conservativs shrug it off as no big deal. But when Vice Pres. Chenny was almost caught in an attack in Iraq we targeted the media for not being sensitive. It seems as though many of us have been so blinded by hatred for a man that we have embraced racism. I am not happy with Obama being president but could you please show a little class. You know for a fact that you would sing an entirly different tune had this happened to Bush.

Answer #1

It was the New York Post. I think allot of us Conservatives are taking this too far. I don’t like Obama’s views or the way he’s running things but, I wouldn’t write a cartoon such as that. I thought the editor apologized after the cartoon was posted. I believe the Cartoon of the monkey being shot by the police was obsurd. I don’t like the stimulous bill, but again, I wouldn’t want something like that cartoon to be published.

Answer #2

New York Post… and please, there was an article about Obama on the next page, the message was quite clear… http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1494565/new_york_post_chimp_cartoon_presidential.html?cat=62

Answer #3

I thought it was the New York Post. I don’t know if the cartoonist intended this to be racist but anyone with more than a few neurons should know that it would be interpreted this way. If nothing else the editor should have put the kibosh on that one.

Answer #4

I guess my first impression is that the cartoon is not referring to Obama, but to the thoughtlessness behind the stimulus plans, as if they had been written by a monkey typing randomly on a keyboard.

Answer #5

:) just you and me then… and my opinion of conservatives couldnt go any lower, so I’m not surprised… I wonder what the silence means… (no really, I think it’s a little odd)

Answer #6

By putting a monkey on there does insinuate racism. I understand the value of freedom of speech but some speech is just pointless.

Answer #7

The New York Times is a conservative newpaper??

p

Answer #8

For those of us who arent sure what’s been going on? Is it in the news?

Answer #9

Yeah, New York Times I believe was the newspaper had a cartoon where police shot a monkey, but in the captions it said I guess someone else will have to write the stimulus bill. Conservatives are saying its not about obama but the monket that was shot, but the caption clearly indicates that it was Obama. Blacks are offended and conservatives are saying its no big deal. I am really upset that many of us have become so angry at Obama that it has developed into an irational hatred.
