N.Y. Post Cartoon links President to Dead Monkey

A cartoon likening the author of the stimulus bill, perhaps President Barack Obama, with a rabid chimpanzee graced the pages of the New York Post on Wednesday. The drawing, from homophobic cartoonist Sean Delonas, is rife with violent imagery and racial undertones. In it, two befuddled-looking police officers holding guns look over the dead and bleeding chimpanzee that attacked a woman in Stamford, Connecticut.

Title:New York Post cartoon compares chimp to President Obama Description:Editor's email: col.allan@nypost.com<br /><br />Washington, D.C. (BNO NEWS) -- The New York Post has published a cartoon by Sean Delonas which appears to compare President Obama to the chimpanzee from a brutal Connecticut attack on Monday. The woman who was badly injured in the attack remains in critical condition today. Officials said her face was "ripped away" by the animal. <br /><br />Source: BNO NEWS<br />http://www.bnonews.com/news/125.html<br /><br />MY OPINION: Everyday someone wants to act a fool! The NY Post is at again. And ppl wonder why I have reservation about the other side.<br /><br />National Action Network<br />http://nationalactionnetwork.net<br /><br />Source: The Huffington Post<br /><br />New York Post Chimp Cartoon Compares Stimulus Author To Dead Primate<br /><br />A cartoon likening the author of the stimulus bill, perhaps President Barack Obama, with a rabid chimpanzee graced the pages of the New York Post on Wednesday.<br /><br />The drawing, from famed cartoonist Sean Delonas, is rife with violent imagery and racial undertones. In it, two befuddled-looking police officers holding guns look over the dead and bleeding chimpanzee that attacked a woman in Stamford, Connecticut.<br /><br />"They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," reads the caption.<br /><br />An email to Delonas and a call to the New York Post went unreturned. The cartoon appears both on the New York Post website and page 12 of the Wednesday paper.<br /><br />At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Others believe it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial. Perhaps that's what Delonas wanted.<br /><br />UPDATE: Rev. Al Sharpton has weighed in on the cartoon in a statement:<br /><br /> "The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that "Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill."<br /><br /><br /> "Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill?"<br /><br />Author: Sam Stein<br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/02/18/new-york-post-chimp-carto_n_167841.html

Title:Did Chimpanzee-Stimulus Bill Cartoon Draw The Line? Description:Chris Matthews debates a controversial political cartoon by Sean Delonas in the February 18, 2009 edition of the New York Post.<br /><br />In it, two cops shoot a chimpanzee dead, and one of the cops says to the other, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."<br /><br />The cartoon contains a reference to a story in which Connecticut police had to shoot a pet chimpanzee dead because it was attacking a human being. The cartoon also refers to the economic stimulus bill, recently signed by President Barack Obama. There is no obvious reason as to why the two were linked for this cartoon, but the context is drawing controversy.<br /><br />Jim Warren calls the 'toon "pedestrian," which John heilman says the New York Post is "a newspaper that specializes in outrage." To which Chris Matthews replied, "What's that say about New York? Ha!"
