Yeah, right. It's ok to make jokes about Hillary being a witch but someone puts Obama on a Curious George shirt and everyone freaks. Did you lighten up over that one? Just askin'. Ya'll can't have it both ways. Either take all the jokes about Obama or don't make them about anyone else.

Cry me a river. Why don't you put a lid on the feigned outrage. What this gets down to is you just don't like Obama.

Oh BTW, it isn't just "libs" who don't see the difference...the repugs have a long history of treating women like nothing but c---s (McCain's description)
I'm female and I don't find the pic the least bit offensive; matter of fact, I think it's funny. You do need to lighten up; just way toooo much politically correct bull going on now a days.

Hmm, Obama, well a pic of him with a rag on his head will do.

I agree with them but I will qualify it first in defense of my liberal friends with brains and wisdom. She should have said the liberals, Democrats, members of the Obamanation on City-Data.com that have this strange pick and choose bigotry, racisim, sexism. That would indeed be acurate. I do think it was funny though.

There's a big difference here...hopefully I can explain it so you all understand...

People joke that Hillary is a witch because of her personality and her behavior. Nobody is suggesting that all females are witches. Calling her a witch is not insulting the entire female gender, it is only insulting one particular individual.

On the other hand, does Obama act like a monkey? The answer is no, his personality and behaviors are not similar to a monkey in any way, shape, or form. However, certain people joke that black people look like monkeys. So comparing Obama to a monkey is not insulting the individual based on his personal behavior...it's insulting him for being black, and insulting all black people.

Does this make sense?

Calling Hillary a witch would be comparable to calling Obama an A-Hole...neither indicates sexism or racism.

Comparing Obama to a monkey is like saying Hillary should be at home barefoot and pregnant.
