T-Shirts Comparing Obama to Curious George May Earn a Lawsuit

In Georgia, bar owner Mike Norman has been selling T-shirts at his Mulligan's Bar and Grill in Cobb County showing a picture of Curious Georgie peeling a banana, with the words "Obama '08" underneath.

just because tha man looks like a monkey aint no sign someone saying it is prejudice, I think he looks like a damn monkey and I aint predjudice. Whats up with you blacks always playing the race card...well I guess you have to because you shure can't spell. Whether you like it or not blacks do resemble monkeys more than whites. Well some look like apes. Why is that an issue, why bring it up? You can not stop what people think by making a big deal out of clichés. Just let it be.

Mr. Stealth,

YOu are an idiot. You say you aren't racist, well you are making it all so clear. "Well some look like apes." This is very inappropriate. If MLK was here today he wouldn't appreciate this. Obama is trying to be himself. He is far from dumb.

Mr John,
It takes one to know one..idiot....that is.

That must be why most inferior blacks are racists.

i notice you forgot to add that the formula works for ALL races....
wonder why?

obama camp, get over it...
like this is the first time a presidential candidate (or, president) has been mocked...

btw...freedom of speech works both ways, it does INCLUDE things you don't like...

[Hmmm]

So George W Bush can be cartooned to look like, and compared to, a monkey by "Liberals"...but it is off limits to subject Barack Obama to the same treatment..???

That's Liberalism for you.

(PS - Just google the words BUSH MONKEY and see what comes up...)

Let me respond by saying you (yeah, and I meant YOU) people make me sick. I hope when Barrack gets the white house he puts all White people in slavery and see how they like it. Or for Black history month all white should be fire hosed everywhere they go, like how the hillbillies used to do the marchers.
either that or lynched.

I love it when Black racists speak...

[Hmmm]

One thing is for sure...comparing those ears on Obama to GWB's give a lot of support to the "6 degrees of separation" theory.

They also sold out, and are in great demand, only proves one thing, the defection of the Dem/Party
by over 49% of "TYPICAL" people is a slam dunk for John McCain!!!!

I hope EVERYBODY reads your comments, because this is exactly the reason why we will unite as one voice in the General Election!!!!
"JOIN US OR GET LYNCHED, PEOPLE"
NO TO OBAMA!!!!!

[NobamaNoTime]

I can understand the lawsuit.
Even a cartoon would be offended if there was an inference to it looking like Obama.
Personally, I think that Dumbo would be a better choice. The ears are so close that if they were both in the same shirt, I doubt that you could tell then apart...

[NobamaNoTime]

MaxPower = Minimal Intelligence.
That sound like one crazy black unit.
What a stunning endorsement for NoBama.
What the moron fails to realize is that:
1 - Obama will not be elected
2 - Every black in the US voting for that liberal traitor means he loses by a landslide.
The other thing to consider, is that nut jobs like MaxPower might just decide to riot.
Make sure you have a nice selection of alternatives available.
I suggest short, meadium & long range capability, just to be sure.

You hit the nail right on the head pal. That is exactly what BO has in mind, to punish all whites now living that had NOTHING to do with slavery. That is what he has been studying in his church for 20 yrs. I am sending your post as a fwd to show ppl the rage, the aggression, the proof positive why blacks want BO for pres..Oh yeah..should BO win, the money will say, IN ALLAH WE TRUST and the pledge will say, ONE NATION UNDER ISLAM. Thanx for the post. I hope the media picks up on your post. Hate to bust your bubby but BO doesn't stand a chance in hell against McCain. I think ppl have wised up to BO.

[NoBama]

What he said!
P.S. BO Stinks - In every possible meaning of that phrase...

There certainly is a copyright infringement issue with the T shirts, but I seem to recall that the Supreme court has ruled that public figures are fair game for parodies.

Perhaps a picture of a chimpanzee would have been more appropriate and would have avoided the copyright issues.

I see little difference between these shirts and what comedians all over the country have been doing to all the politicians.

[Schmetterling]

SOOO WHAT.

Does he identify himself with the cartoon ?
If so, that's his problem. But the main reason for all this, he wants more publicity.

This is merely sidetracking the fact that he is a born racist, as is his wife. The both hate America, both despise White people. He is projecting his own racism onto others.

I suppose he would not be offended if the T-shirt bore a likeness of Mohammed with the name Osama Obama under it.

WE SEE THROUGH YOUR DISGUISE, HUSSAIN OSAMA OBAMA !!!

You are a racists and an extreme radical muslim / islamic.
