Why? If there question MB find something else. There is a history and if that is going to cause a question find something else so there is no confusion. Just because you think white males have has the short end of the stick, remember my son is one, that is no reason to do the same thing back. Use your head and find a real argument.

If it was interpreted as a slam on intelligence when used on Bush, it has to be interpreted the same way when used on Obama, or the person doing the interpreting is guilty of allowing the color of a man's skin to affect their judgment.

Stop talking about it!!!!! Brilliant. I agree.

That does not mean depict black people as apes. OR white people as crackers.

CG:

You would have a very difficult time going back through all of the threads and all of the replies to find a single posting from one of us referring to President Obama by his color or making a racist statement of any kind. The truth is that the greatest majority of racist comments have actually been made by Liberals trying to say that the Tea Party people or the Conservatives, or the Republicans, etc. were racist.

I am not making a judgement and have not seen that posted here. But admit it, Nmysys, you are a conservative and some of your friends send those emails to you. I have gotten them. I would find it difficult to believe you haven't. But if not okay.

If you read my original post and other posts I call out libs that paint with the broad "all tea partiers are racists" it is not true.

I did want shed light on this. Take the ape stuff out of Obama bashing. It just doesn't work. And I felt the same about bush.

And women being called the c word. women have been raped over history and that is essentially the same thing.

No, I'm saying that calling one pic a commentary on intelligence and the other pic a racial slam is unfair and assumes motivations simply based on the race of the target.

I wouldn't have done either pic.

They're both very insulting to the chimps.

Oh really? Is Obama looked at like the idiot Bush was. Give me a break. You know it is meant as something else. IF it isn't that means 80% of the population has no imagination and can't come up with a new insult. I am not buying it.

Bush it meant stupid and Obama means black.
