NEW YORK (CNN) -- Leaders of the NAACP on Saturday called for the firing of the New York Post cartoonist whose drawing lampooning the federal stimulus bill has drawn charges that it's racist and encourages violence toward President Obama.
The NAACP needs to chill out. When I first heard the complaint, I thought of all the cartoons (and there are enough to paper a trail to the moon and back) of George Bush as a monkey. The one pictured above is pretty direct. But I would say most members of the NAACP would see absolutely nothing wrong with this.
The NAACP has made strides, but now serves no purpose unless it stirs controversy. Aren't there other groups they could help? How about speaking up for women concerning Jon Favreau? I thought Obama would have fired this sexist by now. Perhaps they could help out other groups with social issues in the United State? How about the high incidence of black women being battered at home?
It seems there is a concerted effort this week on the part of Eric Holder,James Clyburn, and Mr.Jealous to stir-up racial tension. Is this an attempt to quiet the furor over the Stimulus bill? After all, threatening politicians, and newspapers with the term "racist" has worked in the past, but it just doesn't work as well with citizens who are not "cowards", and who are not in the mood to be labeled "racist" after putting up with an onslaught of name-calling for 2 years from Obama and his supporters.
In fact, the ploy of the NAACP may work on FOX and the New York Post, but the "whine" will be considered a vexation by many Americans.
