Who Do You Mean By "Many"?

In a story on the phony NY Post cartoon controversy, the local news channel WPIX reports:

NEW YORK (WPIX) -- Outrage and protests continue to mount over The NY Post's controversial cartoon interpreted by many as comparing President Obama to a chimpanzee that was shot and killed by police in Stamford, Connecticut last week.

Emphasis mine.

It turns out the "many" mentioned in the story are Al Sharpton and Julian Bond. Plus it notes that NAACP members see the cartoon as "an invitation to assassinate the President."

It seems like a good time to remind everybody that, in contrast to the harmless cartoon, people have actually died as a result of Sharpton's racial and anti-Semitic incitement.

It's time to have a frank conversation on race: Al Sharpton and Julian Bond are horrible racists and no one of any color should take them seriously. If you do, then it's quite possible that you're a racist. Your turn.
