I can understand if they mean that they’re a bunch of monkeys in Washington but I can also see how they could reference Obama there which would be messed up.

Pretty tame compared to most of the Bush cartoons that no one complained about. Get the sand out of your “THAT’S RACIST!” vaginas.

That is too touchy of a subject to even consider making a cartoon about. Even if the message was meant to be different, it still is not appropriate.

i don’t find it offensive at all personally.

But the fact that they possibly compared a black president to a monkey is incredibly inappropriate considering our countries racial past.

They are going to make him so untouchable by any type of humor. It will get blown out of proportion with even the slightest possible reference to anything to could be assumed racist.

I agree. It’s rather silly.

Regardless, it is still a very touchy subject for some, and it will always cause controversy. Especially comparing the prez to a chimp.
