Intentionally Racist Post had pic of Obama signing bill on page preceding cartoon!
In the page preceding a New York Post cartoon that depicts drafters of the stimulus legislation as a gun-downed chimpanzee, the paper published a large photo of Barack Obama signing that very piece of legislation.

Please follow the link to the picture

Of course there was no intention of racism or the suggestion of shooting the president....:sarcasm:

2. Yep, no connection at all, mere.....coincidence...
They are in total isolation of each other and anyone who dares say that is "tooooooo sensitive". I join you in your :sarcasm:

Again I say the cartoon is grotesquely racist with the addition of an implied threat to the President.

3. yes, and how many times did the NY Post run cartoons of Bush?
I've been hearing this argument that if the cartoon had been of bush it wouldnt be considered racist, but we are not talking about cartoons in general, we are talking about the NY Post. A right wing rag with a disgusting political agenda. I guess we framed the argument wrong by asking 'is the cartoon racist' when the question should have been 'is the NY Post (as a complete organization) racist?"
