YaakovKuperman, Obama proposed something needs to be done. He doesn’t even know what’s in the bill. The bill was WRITTEN in the House by House Demoncrats “edited” (more pork was added) by the Senate and then Obama signed it.

#11, even if this cartoon is directed at Obama, I don’t see anything racist about it. It’s simply saying that he is a bumbling fool. Bush was called things far worst, but no one said anything then.

And what does the Post’s tzinus standard have to do with anything? Does this somehow make the cartoon racist?

For eight years we’ve put up with President Bush being called “Chimpy”, and heard not a word of protest from anybody on the left. So now the left can shut up and take what they were so willing to dish out. I have no respect for Obama, and will call him whatever I like. He’s a water buffalo.

akuperma, making light of murdering the President is NOT illegal. Try reading the First Amendment. It is perfectly legal to make light of anything one likes, including killing the president. It is even perfectly legal to advocate anything one likes, including killing the president. It would even be perfectly legal, at a protest against the return of conscription, to say that “if they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is Barack Obama”.

There is really very little that one may NOT say in the USA. True threats. Incitement to immediate violence. Malicious libel. Fraud. But expressions of opinion are always protected speech.

Whatever you think of the cartoon, if you don’t know that Obama proposed the bill to the senate or if you didn’t know that he even could then you’re quite uninformed

Charles Barron is a racist, anti-semitic hypocrite. He should be ashamed of himself.

akuperma, Obama signed the legislation because he approves of it. Congress wrote it with Obama’s support.

The monkey in the shooting is a reference to the old saying of “a million monkeys pounding on typewriters…” meaning that the stimulus bill was not written by people with any rational or logical reasoning, rather it was as if monkeys were pounding on typewriters and punched out the porkulus-liberal-agenda-wish-list bill. It is not a reference to Barack Obama as a black man.
