I loved that little sock puppet and didn’t find anything harsh about it. I can see how it could be taken, so better off that it didn’t get produced, but I love toy monkeys and I think Obama is a good President.

[...] raise nary an eyebrow (much less the pics of oral sex being performed on Bush by Lieberman), but just try to portray Obama as a [...]

Grow a thicker skin, you maggots!

Dear God,
Please Help America. We've grown in to a nation of whiners! Help us to, collectively, grow a spine!

In Jesus' Name,
Amen!

This Sock Monkey is a STUFFED TOY! I plan on buying one & displaying it in the window of my truck!

This is how we treat the infidels in Saudi Arabia :

We abuse the non-Muslims living and working in Saudi Arabia all the time, especially the Christians and the Jews.

We call them grandsons of pigs and monkeys. We say this openly, everywhere, particularly in mosques.

We do not respect any religions except Islam.

I am sorry Jay but you MUST be white or just plain ignorant. This is not about being PC or being overly sensitive. White people were never called or referred to as apes or monkeys…. this company that made this doll MUST HAVE known the history and should have said “hmm… knowing it might stir some controversy, maybe i will pass on this” but NO. They didn't. They went ahead with it. They fully knew that they were going to offend people who are sensitive to the ape comparison. I do agree that they did the same thing with Bush, and this is not just a case of a double standard… it's just that whites never had the association with wild monkeys and savage beasts, like black americans have. So if you know that, WHY WOULD YOU AGREE THAT WHATS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE, IS ALSO GOOD FOR THE GANDER??? In this case, they are not the same thing.

People have painted me and my friends as monkeys too, for hundreds and millions of years, but you don't see me complaining. No sir. My friend Bethany actually looks like an orangutan, so she should talk, haha! I don't care if you make a sock monkey out of me, just so long as I get some of the proceeds. I once went as a gorilla on Hallowe'en. I am completely befuddled about all this false sensitivity about monkeyness. You didn't see the younger President Bush whining when Max Gefiltefisch said he looked like a chimpanzee. Obviously he knew what he was doing. Likewise for Obama. You don't get to be head of Acorn looking like a monkey unless you do so intentionally. Pass the biscuits, Pappy!
