(11,175 posts)As soon as I saw a Ted Rall cartoon that criticized Obama, I knew you'd be chiming in with your standard denunciation.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Cartoon depicting President Obama as an ape. Rall got banned from Daily Kos for this racist crap.
JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Oct 1, 2014, and voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Using a detestable cartoon about Obama to somehow defend Rall? Go post it on discussionist.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: gotta go with the alerter here, hide.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: For pity's sake! He is not depicted as an ape. He is depicted as a warmonger which is of course a primate dominance game. Ban the alerter. This is a political cartoon that speaks to the peace and anti-war voters on both sides of the political spectrum.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Fuck off ted rall and your racist bullshit.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is the Perpetually Omni-Outraged Patrol of Yelling Hotheads Easily Annoyed by Drawings (POOPYHEADS) back out in force, or what? Go back to complaining about dick graffiti under bridges or something. Sheesh.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
