Ron78 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 This is just terrible. Comparing anyone who would vote for Obama to an ape? Who would do something like this? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The assumption would be it's a right-motivated thing. The irony, if true, is that their party and followers could be described the exact same way. I think the reality is both parties do have some original thinkers, but are heavily outshadowed by the screaming loons touting each and every party line.

PokerPacker Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 because people think they are clever comparing their opposition to apes. Its as old as time itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Pfah, no big deal to me. A parody that just in't very funny is all it is. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predicto Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Meh. That isn't bad at all. Now the stuff some extremists say about Michelle Obama, that stuff is way over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Not offensive, but most definitely not funny, which is the real crime here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Again, history and context make this worse. It's an ugly type of humor. It shouldn't be censored because we have the right to be stupid, but it's unfortunate that there are so many rotten, mean people out there. Never really been a fan of insult humor although some of it is insanely funny and it is probably as old as the human species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew_Fl Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 that's just a failed attempt at humor. someone wasted time making that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Not "racist" material to me, just typical and an image I use frequently for the right and left monkey-boyz of any pigmentation. I will say this however as a lee-gitt--o-mate eggspurt on humans beehavyore: I think some "clever" folks are getting the message that most of "us" aren't going to go knee-jerk and call racism that easily, and some of those savvy folks will take delight in deliberately using something like a monkey for an Obama reference (just one example) while actually trolling for fun or seriously meaning the racist association and believeing they will "get way with it." This smells more like the "trolling" angle with the "racial bait" at face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Monkey brain is a delicacy in much of the world. Hell, having monkey brains would be a desirable improvement for many politicos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
