I'd say there's a lot of pissed off people, the cartoonist's site is crashed.

I'm sure this asshole cartoonist is scrambling to think of how he can tell us all we've misinterpreted the meaning ::)

a little unbelievable the paper ran it.  We'll know how much Rupert cares based on what he does.  Someone needs to lose their job.

It has to mean something else. If not that is how blatant as it gets. Im trying to find the other meaning in it. Has the guy made a statement. I know Rupert didnt ok it. But who is this cartoon mans boss and how did it make it all the way to be published

no doubt he's scrambling right now to come up with something so he can tell everyone we've missed the intent. I just hope he's doing his thinking in a secret service backroom waiting to be questioned.

Rupert is a funny guy. He know fox news is a sham and he gets paid off the shit it stirs up. He gave money to Obama's Campaign..So i know he didnt ok this. But who ever is over the paper should have known better. Unless we all arent getting what the picture really means.

I know he gave money to Hillary but I did not know he gave to Obama.  No way he approves cartoons.  He's above all that stuff, but some editor did. What Rupert does about it will be interesting.  I'm guessing nothing.

I agree. The artist and the person who approved it to be printed.

The stimulus bill was not drafted by Obama.  I think everybody knows that.  However, the bill was drafted in a way that is so messy you could say it was drafted by a monkey or by a chimp.

There is an old expression "this company is run by monkeys."

In other news, a chimp attacked a woman and a police officer.  So other police officers shot and killed the chimp.

Maybe the cartoon has something to do with this.  Is saying "this government is run by monkeys" in bad taste?    ???

Im a huge first Amendment guy. I dont think Imus should have been fired nor do i think Michael Richards should have had to leave the US for the black statements. But dipicting the black president as a monkey and then shooting it, man thats tough. Not sure what road to take.

big stretch.  yes we all know Obama didn't sit down and write it.  But we also all know very very well it was his initiative to make it happen.  Even before he was president he was saying if Bush doesn't now, I'll make sure of it.  Doesn't matter if there was a monkey shot.  He chose to use the monkey shot with that comment.  The depiction is clear, it's one monkey.  If he meant congress both his style and most cartoonists would be to have written congress across the dead monkey and even if that's the intent, it's still highly unethical in the suggestion.  Either way with the monkey shooting being inspiration, it's not the woman but America being attacked and they had to shoot Obama or Congress?  no no no no....  Intent is at Obama here imo.

Just a few days before he depicted Obama holding a bong and looking like a thug.  That's not illegal but sure shows his anger at Obama in recent days.  I didn't like what happened to Imus either, that was bs.  But this is illegal imo.

I'm wondering how an editor or the cartoonist looks at that and doesn't say, you know, this is going to be taken as a representation of Obama by many people.

I was wondering about that. So it is illegal to show the president as a monkey with bullet holes...

If the chimp in the cartoon was meant to represent Obama, then yes, I agree that this is terrible and uncalled for.  But again,

Is saying "The US government is run by monkeys", meaning it's being run by dummies in bad taste while the US has a black president? 

I just want to know.

yes, that can be taken as a threat against the president and it's illegal.  Assuming it's representing Obama and I'm really having a hard time not seeing how that was either the intent or how they could not see people would take it that way.
