The liberal hypocrisy knows no boundaries. They embrace that shit like they invented it.

The article was reportedly a satirical piece that also joked about Obama selling marijuana. The newspaper packaged the photos as if they had been submitted by Russian president Vladimir Putin, Metro said Sunday.
The picture was joined by a message reading, Vladimir Putin is the president of Russia. He sent us this attachment at our request, and chose to send pictures instead of text 'because he doesn't have a lot of time', the Independent said.
While the article has many readers outraged, there are also readers who have come to the newspapers defense. "It was a joke," one Reddit user said.
"In their defense, there are tons upon tons of pictures and t-shirts with Bush drawn as an ape," another user wrote.
"When you consider the fragment apart from its context, which is a properly worked out satirical section, then you don't see the joke but just a picture evoking sheer racism," the newspaper said. "We wrongly assumed that racism is no longer accepted, and that in this way it could be the subject of a joke."
That's insulting. What a bunch of a-holes. What did apes ever do to deserve that?
Boop is a Con? Who knew?Conservatives on this board paste the same picture and then complain they are not racist
C'mon, are you trying to say that Moochelle doesn't have have natural simian features, like really long arms, and a protruding mouth/jaw like an ape?
Ignore him, his name should wrongwhiner over anything that is said about his Dear Leader, Obambam
LOL....look who jumps in to defend Max
Way to go Steph!
Don't know much about history, do you?The only way the pics could be seen as "racist" is if certain folks secretly harbor a sense that blacks are somehow more related to chimps than humans. So the real "racists" are the first ones who reached that conclusion and raised the battle cry. Are they decrying their own sense of guilt?

find whoever did that picture and HANG them from the highest tree or gas them, firing squad?
good grief, you people went ape shit (forgive the pun, lol) over some comedy skit in a rodeo for crying out loud
give us all a BREAK
Yup, the photo is racist (as is the one of Bush chimp), and the nature of such informs people do not let their children associate with the children of those who publish and or relish such photos. One simply does not associate with such folks; Mother would not let us play with the children of known or suspected Klan members.
The photo, however, is political and thus protected by free speech rules, as it should be. The principle helps separate the wheat from the tares.

The photo of Bush is in poor taste. The photo of Obama is racist
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/28/opinion/28sat4.html?_r=0...The effort to dehumanize black people by characterizing them as apes is central to our national history. Thomas Jefferson made the connection in his notorious book Notes on the State of Virginia, in which he asserted fantastically that male orangutans were sexually drawn to Negro women.
By defining Negroes not as human beings but as beasts, the nation rationalized subjugation and cruelty and justified laws that stripped them of basic human rights. The case for segregation itself rested heavily on the assertion that animal origins made Negroes feebleminded, smelly and intolerably offensive to white sensibilities.
Acting on the ludicrous premise that people of color had coarser palates, Southern shop owners sometimes refused to sell them white foodstuffs, forcing them instead to buy inferior grades of flour and other goods.
Picture postcards, kitchen crockery and other media often showed Negroes with grotesquely distorted faces eating outsize slices of watermelon, which was said by racists to be catnip to the coloreds. In keeping with the animal theme, Negroes were typically depicted consuming food with their hands, while standing or sitting out in the open. White folks, of course, were shown sitting at the table, dining with utensils.
Ape propaganda reached a hysterical pitch during periods when African-Americans were winning rights or making racial progress.
During the 1950s, for example, racists reacted to the movement toward integration with placards and broadsides depicting apelike caricatures of Negro men performing heinous acts or making sexual advances on the flower of white womanhood.
