Not funny! Obama has been protected in the primaries by an invisible ‘racist’ shield; is going to be insulated by the same force in the race this Fall, and then will be immune to criticism in the White House for the same reason.
Any critique of the man, his policies, his background, his record or his associates is simply off limits because of the latent ‘racism’ inherent in commenting on any of them.
The most brilliant strategy I have ever seen!

It’s a beautiful strategy to preframe attacks. Saying that any criticism of him doesn’t ‘work’ because of his ‘racial shield’ is great imagination. Wright wasn’t ‘off limits’, flag pin etc…

Rob,
Since you don’t know, calling a black person a ‘monkey’ is a racial slur. Bush’s face, which isn’t particularly funny, on the chimp I’m assuming is because he purses his lips in an exaggerated manner and he’s not the brightest guy on earth.
Simply no comparison. Especially since the history of the Republicans and their blatant disregard for facts and morals when slandering opponents, including McCain and his illegitimate black child.

Shouldn’t calling someone a monkey be insulting regardless?
You liberals and your need to treat everyone differently because of skin color. It’s sad, really.

Hmm,
Lets see, like this:
Senator Ernest “Fritz” Hollings (D-SC)
After losing the Iowa Straw Poll, Hollings stated “You had wetbacks from California that came in here for Cranston,” referring to one of his opponents, Alan Cranston. A few years later Hollings reportedly used the slur “darkies” to derogatorily refer to blacks. He also once disparagingly referred to the Rainbow PUSH Coalition as the “Blackbow Coalition,” and called former Senator Howard Metzenbaum, who is Jewish, “the Senator from B’nai B’rith.” Hollings gained international criticism for his remarks about the African Delegation to the 1993 Geneva GATT conference, where he crudely remarked “you’d find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they’d just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva.”

As opposed to calling anyone a monkey, which is simply a slur. Oh. I see. Big difference.

It is a big difference,a racial slur implies the problem is genetic and pervasive rather than personal.

Thanks, WOOF! I get it now! Because Obama is half white, it’s okay to compare Obama to a monkey half as much as George Bush? Or twice as much, because Democrats are humorless and it takes them twice as long to get it?

says that’s not funny!
