Is there any difference depicting a white or black President as a monkey? Is it racist?

It's Political, so there's no difference.

What, "idiot Obama supporters" like the Republican chairman of Orange county?

Again with the right wing persecution complex. So what did Obama exactly say that was undeniably offensive to the general public?

Stupid and Offensive.1
“I don’t think that we can make judgments based on peoples’ spirit,” Obama said. … “Maybe you’re better off not having the surgery, but taking painkillers.“

The Onion has succeeded in Poeing the right wing.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

What i object to is. that folks who claim to be open and high minded (liberals). Then go out and claim that anyone who disagrees with the idea that comparing obama to a chimp is racist, while comparing bush man to a chimp is fair game, is immediately branded a racist.
that, fellows and fellettes is a stunt Dr. Goebbels would approve :clap:
well done, :clap: well done indeed.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
