No wonder that Darwin is not popular with conservatives! :D At least it is apparantly no socialist monkey. No terrorist monkey. No Islamic monkey. According to Republican campaign statements, that would have been really offending!

Sense of humor fail.

No i'm just curious if your sense of humor extends across party lines because i'm betting it doesn't.

Well I say, that poking fun at any politician is okay, part of free press. Then you have to think that some men/women are more popular than others. If I post something like this:

Then people are less likely to make a fuzz than if I posted something that poked fun at Obama. Why? Well let's face it: wherever you like it our not, Obama is extremely popular around the globe, considering he's an american politician.

But then again, someone will always be offended. Making a joke about Obama is not racist because it's Obama, or because Obama is black. It could be considered racist if the joke is based upon the fact that Obama is an afro-american.

But remember now, this thread is about Bush;)

That, biggles, despite being completely politically incorrect, is gold:rotfl: . Shame he didnt just cut himself for attention like the other emos around the place though..

Down here, everyone was allowed to poke fun at john howard's eyebrows, etc, and his 'being a deputy' to GWB, but you should've seen the stink that arose when people started portraying K Rudd in a chairman mao suit, and being referred to as chairman rudd and comrade rudd! the sh!t hit the fan I tell you!

I'm personally going to miss the bushisms, lord knows some of those calendars are going to be highly sought after in the future!!

Calling a white person a monkey is not racist. Calling a white person a cracker is racist. Calling a black person a cracker is not racist. Calling a black person a monkey is racist...

Calling a white person a monkey is not racist. Calling a white person a cracker is racist. Calling a black person a cracker is not racist. Calling a black person a monkey is racist...

Hypocrisy thy name is Stealth Hunter...

:rotfl:

Yeah that's right, blame me for coming up with a racist term that's been around for a hundred years...

Test the mods on it. See what they say.:)

They are of course free to weigh in if they so choose.

Stealth Hunter 11-04-08 08:03 PM

And perhaps they shall be good enough to comment.

Digital_Trucker 11-04-08 08:04 PM

So what would one call a Stealth Hunter and it be considered racist? Just wondering so I don't slip up and use the wrong derogatory term:D

Stealth Hunter 11-04-08 08:14 PM

Trucker, you and I both know that calling a black person a monkey has been regarded for an extremely long time as a racist thing. Stop trying to twist and bend it around.:roll:

Onkel Neal 11-04-08 08:34 PM

Yeah, but now that obama is possibly president, he's fair game. If Bush can be compared to a monkey, so can Obama. Go for it. Monkey or otherwise. No double standards.

Of course, historically I've tried to steer discussions away from this kind of idiocy but looks like that's getting harder to do.:roll:

baggygreen 11-04-08 08:49 PM

Personally I've never associated black people with monkey. If you look like an ape when you pull a face, regardless of skin colour, I'll make the comparison in my mind at the very least. As for that collection, that was well put together:lol:

moving right along, how will the new US president deal with our alliance with the fishies?:arrgh!:
