The New York Post has always been Rupert Murdoch's right-wing's echo chamber in this liberal city, but I'm still absolutely shocked that they would publish such an obviously racist cartoon that calls for the assassination of the President.

Cartoonist Sean Delonas and the New York Post don't think this is offensive at all.

The New York Post is standing behind a cartoon that some have interpreted as comparing President Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee gunned down by police.

The cartoon in Wednesday's Post by Sean Delonas shows two police officers standing over the body of a bullet-riddled chimp. One of the officers says to the other, "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."
