It is supposed to mean Republican in Name Only. The wing nuts perceive that as anyone who dares not yell "Hurray" at everything they say. Must like Stalin-they try to suppress differences of opinion.

Oh, okay.
The irony is even Mike Huckabee has made some comments I have questions about.
Yeah, because if Obama was a white man, he'd be depicted in the same way, right?
It is racist. Anyone claiming otherwise is probably racist themselves. Either that or sadly delusional. Anyway, it's stuff like this which has caused the Tea Party to become quickly irrelevant.
Correction:
Anyone claiming otherwise is definitely racist themselves.
There is no historical stereotype portraying Whites as monkeys. There is, however, a long history of stereotyping Blacks as "monkeys", "witch-doctors", and other horrible things. When a Black person like me sees things like that, such as portraying President Obama as a monkey or a witch doctor, for me it's "here we go again, reverting back to the days of Jim Crow when Blacks were portrayed as primative animals".
That was the intent and they know it. Its a wink game.
