As usual, don't bother answering the question, just chastise for some perceived convolution of your statement.

right back at ya

By the way, in your esteemed opinion, would the term redneck be considered racist?

Oh but I did. You only want to call Obama a monkey because you liked Bush, and people bashing him makes you angry.

I would consider "redneck" an insult towards a group of people.

I suppose, that, once again, you didn't read the question I was referring to.

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

I don't want to call Obama a monkey, it would be demeaning to the monkeys (as I previously stated). I don't like Bush any more than any one else does. People bashing him doesn't make me angry, that's why I have daily Bush funny quotes on my home page. You ass-u-me that I like Bush because I don't like Obama (a common ignorant assumption).

No, it wouldnt, and it has nothing to do with pc, its called common sense.

Well that's my point. I don't think it's ok to show anyone regardless of their heritage in an oven, or depict them as a monkey, or any other insulting caricature. This is not about what, but the why, because the message conveyed by these things is every bit as hateful as any racial stereotype you care to name.

Thats why playing on their policies is much better, and used down here. For example, chairman Rudd. or emphasising their features, like howards eyebrows were inflated some!

No jitters here, mate

I've had to bear these type of slights for 8 years, you think I care if someone applies the same photoshop to Obama? Nope.

It's got nothing to do with racism.

Argh, to tired to explain why I dont like it. Its 6AM here now.

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.

Funnily enough I don't have any party loyalty to parties that do not run for election
outside my country.

I feel I have to weigh in on this one.

I agree with Stabiz 100% asking people to post pictures of Obama compaired to a monkey IS careless and IMHO would be in danger of encouraging racisim on this forum. Is that the way you want this forum to go Neal?

I agree with you that the photo's compairing Bush to monkeys was tasteless, but come on, take a step back and look at what you wrote.

Did you really mean that?

I don't think you did

This is my first and only post in this thread. I have just read it all from page one to six and it is just one big stinking cesspool.

To me, it started of as a humourous attempt to lighten up the tension on these forums, but failed severely. No pun intended towards Skybird though

I liked the original idea.

Wait, it's ok to depict one race of humans as monkeys, but not another? Man, that's racist.

Ok, stop the monkeying around

Personally, I like pictures of natural gaffs by Bush. These are more amusing than a photoshoped picture depicting anything. Remember, these are his greatest moments! Not someones greatest moment in photoshop and how to use it for a good time.

Come on, we got eight years of gaffs! Go find them! In fact, add any president you like with a photo op gaff!
