NAACP calls for cartoonist to be fired after NY Post cartoon portrays Nancy Pelosi as a chimp
Fire cartoonist say angry NAACP members

First cartoonists in Holland were hounded because they drew cartoons showing Muhammad. Now a cartoonist in the US is being hounded because he drew an editorial cartoon with a chimp. :roll:

Who reads the NY Post anyway? What a POS paper.

So much for Freedom of Speech. I guess it only applies to speech one agrees with. I hope the paper doesn't cave to the race hustlers.

BTW, the Porkulus bill was written by a bunch of chimps.

Really? You don't understand that Spike and Al are exercising the exact same right to free speech that the Post did?

Al Sharpton once compared himself to a rabbit "who gots a gun"

Mr. Sharpton sees any opportunity to fan the flames of racial discord as his "gun".

i guess I don't see how anyone is getting Obama as being the chimp. I suspect Freud might say "Sometimes a chimp is just a chimp."

In case anyone missed the rampaging chimp reference, the story is here: link
"We were standing on the edges
Of a thousand burning bridges
Sifting through the ashes every day
What we thought would never end
Now is nothing more than a memory
The way things were before
I lost my way" - OCMS

Where did I say that Spike Lee and Al Sharpton should be fired or shouldn't be able to express their opinions? Ask Spike and Al that question, as they are the ones yet again attempting to stifle free speech. Let Spike and Al (where's Jesse?) say whatever they want. Let them call for yet another silly boycott that will be forgotten by next week.
