Latest Stupid Racism Controversy

By Philip Klein on 2.19.09 @ 8:21AM

So, the NY Post runs a cartoon implying that the stimulus package was so bad it may as well have been written by a chimpanzee, and all the usual suspects are screaming "racism!" And the AP ran the headline, "NY Post cartoon seems to link Obama to dead chimp." This is absurd. President Obama didn't even write the stimulus bil and the cartoon was in reference to an actual news event of a domesticated chimp going nuts, mauling somebody, and being shot.

The AP headline seems to link AP to a dying industry: Its one-sided mêlée says more about AP than anything else. At some point they will have to confront the real threat, that is, why MSM units are suffering from declining consumers and advertiser dollars. Hint to AP: It's not just the economy.

And yet the hypocritical MSM had no problem with the rabid left calling Bush a chimpanzee.

I'm waiting for the second wave of outrage, this one accusing the Post of endorsing assassination of the Prez.

If you believe in Darwinism (and I don't) it says MAN evolved from apes. Al Sharpton evidently believes, based on his statement of being offended, that only blacks evolved from apes. Then, where the heck did the rest of us come from Al???
