Though good for him for adhering to Alton Brown's rule of buying uni-taskers. A stuffed monkey for making an overt racist statement, plus it can be (and probably has) used to lure unsuspecting boys to his lair, otherwise known as his mother’s basement. Creepy!

There is a big difference between people in blogs writing something and something being published a newspaper. Can't you admit that this was f-d up and move on?

I wonder if the cartoon had the police throwing oreos at a monkey, maybe the reaction would have been different. I’m stunned by the lack of reaction from the Radical Right.

And a hundred blog posts and commentaries that refer to George W. Bush as a chimp. As for the alleged assassination angle, consider the sort of "kill bush" rhetoric that emanated from the Left for the last 8 years. Bet you had nothing to say there -- and probably found some of it rather amusing. For every Obama monkey, I can show you a dozen Bush monkeys.

Seems some people have selective memories. Good points, ladies. I hadn't considered Suleman. Now I have never considered having a litter of babies praiseworthy, but I do remember it being highly praised by the Right in the past. What's the difference now? Where is there standard Far Right defense, "Eight babies was God's will. Praise her for giving all of them life." I hate these pictures, but they need to be seen.

The most likely victims are the ones that are convenient. I also wonder if some of the outrage directed at "octomom" Nadya Suleman is related to this. Good point, Cassandra.

The people who have this kind of baggage are always and everywhere delighted to show it off. The shame of it is they they really just don't get that the tawdriness of their baggage directly correlates to a lack of character. White supremacist groups may indeed be having something of a resurgence, but I would worry less about them taking potshots at Obama (who would be very tough to get to) but worry more about the more motivated among them taking out their resentments on more local black and brown people.
