In The News

"Civil rights activist Al Sharpton called the cartoon "troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys."



"In a statement, Post Editor-in-Chief Col Allan said: "The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist." ap

Really surprised the editor would stand up to Sharptons bizarre interpretation to this little cartoon at all, much less in the direct, plain spoken manner he chose. Sharpton and others are really feeling their irrelevancy- and it shows.

His response to things such as this remind me of the old saying: If all you have is a hammer- pretty much everything looks like a nail.
