Now this is downright racist and is wrong on so many levels I am almost speechless...
Please jump for cartoon...

How can this type of drivel be tolerated?
At least Al Sharpton is not having it see his statement on cartoon:
"The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that "Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill."
"Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill?"
I know that some folk would like to think that racism is over in this country because Obama got elected but here is clear evidence against this thought.
It will be interesting to see where this goes and if the MSM picks this up.
Please tell me how the stimulus bill is connected to a crazed chimp that was killed by cops?
This is wrong on so many levels and racism on all levels that I do not know where to start.
Why would the artist choose this particular image?
Is he unaware of the significance of likening a black man to a chimp?
What is the purpose of putting out this cartoon? I guess Murdock owns the Post so maybe that tells us something.
Please see Stein at HuffPo going off about this cartoon here:

Is this the type of drivel we are going to have to deal with for the next 4 years?
The violence in this along with the racism is just mindless and irresponsible as well as reckless.
Man!!!
