NAACP trying to keep their 15 minutes of fame alive over NY Post cartoon

NAACP To Protest News Corp Nationwide Over Cartoon

IMHO, if the NY Post cartoon artist put the name "Pelosi, Reid, Rangel" on the monkey or monkeys, I would say the reaction would be much more muted. Of course they would be calls for insensitivity, but on a much lower scale.

It would seem that Sharpton and the NAACP are milking their 15 minutes worth in order to prolong this outrage at the NY Post, Fox News, and basically any media publication that has been labeled as "insensitive" in their eyes.

Still, what if Bush was President or McCain? No outrage. Or if Hillary Clinton was President? Nothing.

It certainly looks like "monkeys" being used in political cartoons are non-grata for the next four years. Maybe the cartoonist should use hyenas next time.
