I don't care. If it was said with racial undertones, I once again, don't care.

With something like Fast & Furious going on, this is really important in the election? Some no-name radio host says something racist. Who gives a flying ****?

Taking this at face value it wouldn't be racist. On a monkey it would be racist. But if a known racist photo-shopped Obama's face on a donkey it would be because of racism... Understand yet?

That clip just makes you wanna...

illegalize her voice, doesn't it?

I don't care what some brainless parrot on the radio says about our president. Sooner or later, the reality that he is in fact the President of the United States will set into her poor excuse for a brain. And if I could pick a living skeleton to have pity for at that time, it'd be her.

Even a donkey? But Obama's a democrat. Isn't it more political than racist? What about on an elephant?

Is it racism if a black person photoshops Bush's face on a monkey, an elephant or a donkey?

No. I think we have too many thin skinned people and too many people who focus too much energy on trying to find out what is racist and who is racist. In the end, it doesn't change people's racist thoughts.

It's like reading Leonard Pitts columns. He is consumed with racism and 99% of his columns are about race. It's sad.

No.

Or is that political satire?

My point is that everything that mocks black people isn't done out of racism.

Public figures are fair game to be called out into the open for being an A-hole, peculiar, stupid, etc.

Sometimes that includes photoshopping their faces on animals.

It doesn't justify it, but this thread does a great job of highlighting the hypocrisy of the left and how outraged they get at any slight, real or imagined, towards Obama and turn a blind eye to years of insults towards people they disagree with.

I agree with this post. None of the disgusting name calling of Bush, etc justifies disgusting name calling of Obama.

I also don't think racist name calling is any worse than disgusting name calling. You appear to put racism on a pedestal above all other disgusting behavior. I don't. Bitter people call others disgusting names (like Maher) and that's just as bad as racist names. Both expose a bitter person.
