Funny how so called "Reverends" come to the defense of hip-hop artists who call each other n-words, hos, b-words and so on and call it FREE SPEECH. Then as soon as someone puts a black man's name next to a monkey, it's RACISM. No no, you don't get free speech, that's ONLY for us...(sarcasm)

Personally, I like Obama. I plan to vote for him in '08. Yes, I do see a resemblance :-P

I heard a comedian once say, "Last I heard, monkeys have THIN LIPS... Monkeys, have STRAIGHT HAIR... Underneath that hair, monkeys, HAVE WHITE SKIN!" Thought it was pretty funny.

Don't know why, but NBC4 edited my comment... Apparently, the letters "mon" followed by "key" is racist and not permitted to be written... So the apparently rappers can spew n-words, b-words and s-words into my radio, but I am not allowed to say the name of a certain animal that has a long tail, eats bananas and has a member named Curious George...

[This is BS]

what is wrong with that, If that is what he looks like...then he does. The civil rights leaders are more of a RACIEST threat then he his.

I don't know, freedom of speech allows the B***h word on TV now; but to call call Hillary one would be sexist! Or call her a "dyke" because of her pant suits would be sexist. But, the media doesn't air derogatory rhetoric about "regular white people." That's why there really nothing to compare this with.

George Allen displayed racism when he let "Ma***ca" rip. That was aired EVERYWHERE!

Calling Obama a "mon***" is just down right racist! I mean they're calling the man a "nonhuman primate." This has "historical derogatory" implications. Lighten the color and "Curious George" would look like Bush! But, I doubt that story would be published, which is racist!

Besides, the publishing company is just upset that they didn't get paid for using the likeness of Curious George. That's racist!

I bet he didnt pay for the Curious George copyright when he used that picture. Not to mention, Bush looks more like a monkey then will any day.

monkey monkey monkey, wtf? are you kidding me???

I guess the Hussein Obamanites think it is O.K. to call the current president every name in the book and to potray him like an "Animal"!.....But let someone else make a funny T- shirt and that is Wrong......Come on "Sweety" Get over it.

[BOO WHOO]

Get a life… He is not hurting anyone and he has a legal right too voice his opinion. It’s his bar and you don’t have too go there. Or are blacks the only ones in this country that are allowed voice their opinion?

[Sam]

Where is the liberal ACLU helping the bar owner with his right to freedom of speech?

[Deb]

"Come on "Sweety" Get over it."

Amen!!!

I would say the Obamaninnies are sort of like the pot calling the kettle black but...

Well never mind.

[The Left]

I is offfended bt dat, My man Hussein Obama does not looks like that ape on de shirt, he looks more like a shaved chimp, now you booz correct that pic!

[The Left]

Hussein swings more toward Africa than the U.S. so I think the shirt fits.

[JG OP]

Obama is more like Michael Jacksons pet sex chimp

[Big Ace]

Most readers can probably tell the complexions of the writers so far.

Gee, I better get BlogMonkey on this. It is really funny. I did notice that some people did not like the Planetoftheapes films. No C George I am unaware. Remember Mandrake the Magician? Lothar was his man Friday. You know, Friday, Robinson Cursoe's rather backward fellow whom RC civilized. Yes sir, the white man must bear the burden. Obama, yes. He cannot possibly be any worse than Abe Lincoln, the nation's greatest president, who looked like an ah...ah...well you know like a primate. The cartoon in a resturant or tee shirt is no more offensive then any others. In fact, my Bubba Wuvs Obama and vice president Jeb Bush tee should not offend anyone. Racial harmony I say. I am tired of black people robbing so many other black people. Equal rights dictate that black holdup men start robbing more white people.

Ha Ha, where can I order one of those shirts?

[JG OP]

There was this guy running and when I drove my car real fast and splashed him with mud, he used a tee shirt some guy handed him to wipe his face off. I saw the imprint on the tee shirt and the guy who had handed it to him was very happy and showing everyone . It (the stain) looked like a cross between Forrest Gump , and Barrack Obama......put simply....a monkee. Look for them at shrimp boat gift shops this summer.

It is a shame!! Nobody should have the low life gall to mock or insult anyone that is interested in a leadership position of this country. This is the most powerful and respected country on the planet and our leaders should be given the respect they deserve.

Why not, the liberals have been doing it to Bush for years. And Obama is an idiot. From his book:

From Audacity of Hope:'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'
