Well, lessee. Who wrote the stimulus bill? I contend it was a bunch of monkeys. So I don't see it as racist.
No reserve. No retreat. No regrets.
For those who have fought for it, freedom has a sweetness the protected will never know.

If blacks like Sharpton think they evolved from monkeys...then yes it is racist, otherwise not at all.
Sharpton only holds one card...the race card.I walked a mile with pleasure, she chatted all the way. But left me none the wiser, for all she had to say. I walked a mile with sorrow and not a word said she. But oh the things I learned from her, when sorrow walked with me. -Robert Browning Hamilton

Wow. And I thought the chumps Pelosi and Reid wrote the stimulus bill. They are the ones in Congress.
Some people will try to make their pet issues up out of anything, just so they're 'relevant' to the news media. That deck ole Al has must be about as large as the stack of $1 trillion would be (1/4 of the way to the moon) cause he plays them on EVERYTHING.
I'll bet if someone mentions Chocolate milk he'd call it racist. And don't even get started about chocolate Easter bunnies.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes I really dont understand the people in this country.
Tell me where in the bill of rights does it say that
you have the right to not be offended?
There are things that offend some but not others
get over yourselves
I agree with bootlen
the cartoonist is saying that the bill was written by a bunch of monkeys
How many cartoons did we see that showed Bush as a chimp?
many
where were all the racist cries about them?
or at the least peta should have spoken up on the behalf of chimps everywhere

It's so hard to discern someone's view from ambiguous links posted with no commentary....

Doh, just started new thread on that story.
