Homosexual sex was a criminal act in Britain, where he lived most of his life, well into the 1960s."

Comic Strip Artist Sean Delonas Compares Obama to Dead Chimp

Delonas

Homophobic NY Post comic strip artist Sean Delonas today offered up a mash-up of the Connecticut chimp story and Obama's stimulus package.

The Rev. Al Sharpton spoke about it to the AP: "The cartoon in today's New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this when in the cartoon they have police saying after shooting a chimpanzee that "Now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill." Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder are they inferring that a monkey wrote the last bill?"

NY Post editor Col Allan defended the cartoon"The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington's efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist."
