New York Post cartoon compares chimp to President Obama

Editor's email: col.allan@nypost.com

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.

New York Post Chimp Cartoon Compares Stimulus Author To Dead Primate

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 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.

"They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," reads the caption.

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.

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.

UPDATE: Rev. Al Sharpton has weighed in on the cartoon in a statement:

"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."


"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?"

NOAH KR3TS Description:oah Paul<br />aka B-Boy Poo-D-Roc<br />Son of Choreographer/Creative Director of KR3TS Violeta Galagarza<br />A preview of Noah in action<br />Lil' Noah, age four, believe it or not, has a pretty impressive resume under his belt. The mind blowing image of the tot doing a handstand at the age of two is embedded in the KR3TA logo. Most recently, that logo was inaugurated into the Graffiti Hall Of Fame for public view on 106th Street and Park Avenue in NYC.<br />The youngest member of KR3TS has performed at over 100 shows locally, nationwide, and abroad. They include The Battle at Jimmy's Bronx Cafe (B-Boy Event), aired on ESPN2, shows at NBC's Rockefeller Center, The Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, Canada, a TV show aired in Japan, and The Aaron Davis Hall Show, to name a few. He has also been featured in the autobiography entitled "We B-Girlz", Selecciones (Readers Digest Magazine), The New York Daily News, The New York Post and many more publications. <br />New York's Hip Hop Radio station, Powerhouse 105.1 FM'S on air radio personality Cherry Martinez, who has visited and actively participated in KR3TS dance rehearsals on numerous occasions said, "I was in awe...I couldn't believe my eyes!" as she recalled her first time witnessing Noah in action. The tot's love for dance and music quickly became evident back when the baby boy wonder would enthusiastically bop around in his walker at the sound of beats and rhythms. By the age of one and a half, Noah began to imitate the older dancers at rehearsals; it was then that his unbelievable gift came to light.<br /><br />While most kids are entertained by cartoons, Noah much rather take control of the living room television set and play his mother's dance videos-a media collection containing 16 plus years of KR3TS performances and rehearsals. Not only does he become hypnotized by the TV, while studying the moves play by play, he'll enthusiastically say, "I wanna' do that!" Then he'll stand up in front of the screen, move from side to side, and duplicate the moves he sees and admires without any guidance or instruction what so ever. He'll keep rewinding the tape until he has the routine down pat. Once he teaches himself the moves, with an ear to ear grin the little voice says, "You see? I did it!"<br /><br />Before turning two years old, Noah began memorizing movie scripts from his favorite movies. At the age of two, he then began acting out the scripts and dancing at shows all around the country and abroad. At last years annual Graffiti Hall Of Fame Ceremony in Spanish Harlem when Noah saw all of the B-Boys and Girls dancing on the cardboard he went to straight to the cardboard dance floor and waited for his turn. All he wanted to do was have fun by doing what he does best. Noah's 360 degree head spins, coordinated leg and hand movements, popping and locking, back flips, and hand stands, caused a lot of jaw dropping-Break Dancing legends in attendance, such as Crazy Legs, were dumbfounded by Noah's rare ability as they began to circle him. He once again became the life of the party and undoubtedly acquired more fans as the host of the venue playfully shouted out, "Watch out Crazy Legs, pretty soon he's going to be taking your place!" Noah is an inspiration to KR3TS and is loved by all who witness him. While regularly motivating others around him and knowing what it takes to move the crowd-seeing Noah Paul in action is living proof that anything is possible! www.djvlader.comTitle:The Montauk Monster - Hell Visits The Hamptons?!
