Delonas for Wednesday February 18, 2009
via http://www.nypost.com/delonas/delonas.htm [shows most recent; select '2009/February/18' below the cartoon]
strikes me that the criticisms of this one are tip-toeing around the obvious and far worse take, with the merely racist aspect being the least of it -- I see open incitement to the assassination of Obama, as the equivalent of and deserving of the same fate as a rampaging giant chimpanzee in the process of horribly mauling a woman ( http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2009/02/17/2009-02-17_911_tape_captures_chimpanzee_owners_horr-2.html )

Loathsome: Ten Cartoons from Sean Delonas
By Hamilton Nolan, 1:34 PM on Wed Feb 18 2009
The outcry over New York Post cartoonist Sean Delonas' dead monkey cartoon today is growing louder. But he has such a rich history! We assembled ten of his all-time classics of hate.
Al Sharpton and Gov. David Paterson are criticizing Delonas' cartoon today, but Post editor Col Allan is backing up his favorite artiste, issuing this statement [ http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/02/18/chimp-stimulus-cartoon-raises-racism-concerns/ ]:
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.
Way to stay in character, Col. Unfortunately, we couldn't find Delonas' classic depiction of mayoral candidate Freddy Ferer "on his knees, kissing the rear end of a grotesquely obese Al Sharpton" anywhere online. [Update: A tipster mailed it in and we've added it below] But you can enjoy these blasts from the past. [Have more Delonas favorites? Email us!]
That pregnant transgender man—what are docs supposed to do with this freak? (This one was so clever he drew it twice [ http://gawker.com/5015048/the-joke-so-ill+advised-sean-delonas-made-it-multiple-times ; http://dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2008/06/17/sean-delonas-catches-flack-for-duplicating-self/ ])
A gay dude who married a woman [ http://gawker.com/255092/gay+friendly-post-cartoonist-continues-his-crusade-for-tolerance ]—what next?
Muslim terrorists love Democrats [ http://gawker.com/213891/sean-delonas-mixing-up-his-semitic-stereotypes ]. What else is new, huh?
Gays: Sheep fuckers [ http://gawker.com/210590/gay+hating-post-cartoonist-taking-baby-steps ].
Gays: Stereotypical prancing beacons of corruption [ http://gawker.com/205581/post-hack-to-get-with-my-gays-learn-about-sensitivity ].
Gays: They're destroying marriage, but at least they're not as bad as Liza Minnelli, who is a woman but nevertheless married David Gest, who is a prancing gay.
Women: Whores.
Gay pride [ http://gawker.com/205708/post-doodler-here-sincere ]? More like cross dressing freakazoids! Amirite?
Rosie O'Donnell is a fat butch lesbian. Haha.
Heather Mills has only one leg. Haha.
And Al Sharpton has a big ass. Which likes to be kissed.
