"NAACP wants NY Post editor and cartoonist fired
NEW YORK – The head of the NAACP on Saturday urged readers to boycott the New York Post, calling a cartoon that the newspaper published an invitation to assassinate President Barack Obama.
Benjamin Todd Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, called on the tabloid to remove editor-in-chief Col Allan, as well as longtime cartoonist Sean Delonas."
And here is the offending Cartoon. I personally see nothing in the context of that cartoon that would suggest the claims that are being made by the NAACP. In fact I don't see anything that makes any kind of sense to me in it. It looks to me like the cartoonist may have been a bit to much into the sauce the night before or while working. I find the very existence of the NAACP to be racist in a nation that has supposedly, by electing a president of color moved beyond the racism of its history, to be racists. What ever happened to Freedom of Speech. If this cartoon had been made under President Bush or any other president in history the NAACP would have said nothing.
This is just another attempt of the Liberal Socialist who now control the federal government to take away freedoms of the average American citizens and then tell us how we should think. As they are by attempting to reinstitute the "Fairness Doctrine" when it comes to Broadcasters. Instead of letting the markets and the people choose they are trying to mandate it for us. They are running scared of the idea that Conservative talk radio and conservative American Values may be making a comeback. They cry foul when they cant compete in broadcasting and they cry foul when anyone says anything against the President of the United States, they call anyone daring to speak up against the liberal policies of the government in general and the president specifically "Racist". Is this what we are in for…. 4 plus years of whining from the socialist liberals when someone dares to speak against them? Well they wanted to play with the big kids, they had better learn to not take things so personally. Maybe they should go back to their sandboxes and think tanks were they can moan and complain that things are not going their way.
