>>> Are you suggesting anything current would have worked in that cartoon? I'm not a cartoonist. But no rational person would have thought it racist. It takes an Al Sharpton to see racism in that cartoon. When I saw it it never even occurred to me to associate that monkey with a person. That's the idea behind political cartoons -- the monkey obviously symbolizes the lack of intellect that went into the insane stimulus bill. As the cartoonist pointed out, Congress, not Obama, "wrote" the bill. If you want to associate the monkey with a human, it would have to be Pelosi and Reid, which totally shoots the argument down. There is absolutely no racist overtone in the cartoon and only a total imbecile would see it as racist. Like Al Sharpton.
