NY Post "Apologizes" For Cartoon Says People Who See It As Racists Are "Opportunists"

"Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon - even as the opportunists seek to make something else."

NEW YORK POST EDITORIAL,
"apologizing" for a controversial editorial cartoon that conflated authors of the stimulus package with a crazed chimpanzee.

I wonder if the Jewish publisher and editors of the NY Post would find these cartoons "just cartoons"?

Well those cartoons would NEVER be allowed to be published. We all know that.
Imagine if the hypocrites of the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten, who published those cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed a few years ago, had published these cartoons instead?
There would be no Jyllands-Posten anymore.
But again that would never have happened.
Same applies to movies. "Adam Resurrected" and "Defiance" and on and on and on.
The Holocaust Guilt-Trip Industry.
When was the last Hollywood movie you ever saw about the Palestinians - at least not when they are starring as terrorists for Spielberg and company a la "Munich" ?
Again, DV, thank you for daring to speak the truth.; Feb 24, 2009, 12:37:00 PM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
