This is quite possibly the worst I have seen in a very long time. I have often accused conservative editorial cartoonist Lisa Benson of drawing Obama to look like a monkey, but this takes it one step further. In defense of the cartoonist, he could have well meant that a bunch of chimps wrote the stimulus bill (which is kinda funny), but very bad timing considering comparing black people to chimps is very offensive and the fact the chimp that was shot ripped a lady’s face off. Literally.
I wish conservative editorial cartoonists would just go away, and stay away. They suck.
They should have used a dumber animal, and one that wasn’t used as a racial slur. Perhaps a Dodo bird?
It’s like people don’t know our president is black.
As Colbert says, “I don’t see color, people tell me I am white, and I believe them.”
Here is a great story:
