While VL Was Down, We Missed a Racist Controversial Cartoon

Perhaps you didn’t miss it, but if you did, let me know what you think of this cartoon in that pillar of American journalism, The New York Post:

The Post's Depiction of Obama?

The cartoon ran late last week and could have been expected was met with much public clamor. On the left people are calling this a racist potshot at President Obama. The righties say it’s merely an unfortunate coincidence — a simple allusion to the Chimpanzee who had recently escaped and mauled a woman in Connecticut. Yeah…

What do you think? Racist or bad timing?

It was bad, bad, bad! I can’t even believe the NY Post ran it.

Very, very, very bad. Can you really expect more from The NY Post though? They are a pretty solid awful.

I´ve heard some say “get over it, this is what free speech is all about” but to that I say I love free speech but not racism and bad taste rolled into one completely uncreative cartoon. I´m disgusted by it.
