The cartoon printed in the New York Post is a classic example of irresponsible "journalism." It's so offensive, I won't even include it in my post on my blog. The editor should have apologized and fired the persons responsible for allowing this racist drivel to see the light of day!
Sam Stein, a columnist for the site, wrote that "at its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Most provocatively, it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial."
