The New York Post ran this cartoon, and it's been received with quite a lot of heat. Is it odd that Rupert Murdoch, the many who owns the Post, is both conservative and runs a racist cartoon, clearly implying that the Chimp in question is actually Obama?
The cartoon itself seems to be referencing this awful story of a chimp shot and killed by police after attacking and seriously injuring the owner's best friend.

This cartoon definitely gets filed in the Get Over It file. People just need to lighten up and not read so much into it. Even if it was meant as racist, people should be applauding that we live in a society where we can print whatever we want. If somebody doesn't like what the Post runs, they should stop reading the Post. I actually might steal this topic for an entry soon :-D
