Political Primates
Wow, I'm really spamming your flists today. Sorry about that. But there's just one more thing I have to say.
Portraying Obama as a chimpanzee in a political cartoon is not racist! Want to know why? Go to Google and type these three words: George Bush chimp. I did just that, and I got 1,710,000 results. For those of you who don't like to count zeroes, that's very close to two million. So, you see, Obama is not being compared to a chimp because he's black. He's being compared to a chimp because there's a big chimp story in the news right now, and political cartoonists live for that stuff.
Ahem...
See? Bush being portrayed as a chimp. Not racist. Get over it. If it has to do with any physical characteristic at all, it's because both Bush and Obama have large maxillas. Oh no, now I'll be labeled as a maxillist.
