Bush had all sorts of pictures taken of him that came out relatively funny. Many of them looked monkey-like, and as a result, there were tons of cartoons and caricatures of him next to monkeys or superimposed onto a monkey's body.

Examples:

Obama as a monkey spurs cries of racism | the will to exist (http://willtoexist.com/obama-as-a-monkey-spurs-cries-of-racism_1152/ - broken link)

Oh No! The Evil Obama Monkey Raised Its Head! » Pirate's Cove

But suddenly, pictures like these are racist?

Doesn't anyone else see the hypocrisy here?

We're all monkeys, so by definition we all look like monkeys.

White people do not have a history of being called a chimp or a monkey as a racist remark.

Black people do have a history of being called a chip or monkey as a racist remark.

Seriously, how can it be this hard to grasp the difference??

In other words, its okay to do it to one race now, but not the other??? No wonder it is impossible to have an intelligent discussion with the left on race.

Where was the outrage from the left when Condoleezza Rice was called a House N____?

Where was the outrage from the left when she was portrayed as a pic-a-ninnee?

Where was the outrage from the left when progressives, at a rally, yelled that Clarence Thomas should "go back to the fields" or "string him up" or "hang him"?

Where was the outrage from the left when the then Lieutenant Governor of Va., Michael Steele was called an "oreo" and an "uncle Tom"?

I could go on and on.....

The left is far more racist than the right. I guess they don't like it when a black person goes off of their progressive "plantation".

The MSM NEVER report such acts from people on the left.

Agenda?

Give me a break!
