Because some would say that one of them has monkey blood in his veins, and that would be wrong.

NO, it’s not an effing DOUBLE STANDARD! There is no history of a race who thinks it ’s superior calling white people monkeys and apes and trying to dehumanize them that way! But there is a long and ugly history of a race who thinks it’s superior calling blacks monkeys and apes and trying to dehumanize them that way and succeeding in making them second-class citizens. When you call any black a monkey you are drawing upon that horrible racist tradition. Not true when you call a white person a monkey!

WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT? I’m disgusted by the stupidity and the insensitivity I see around me.

I have never once called George Bush a monkey. Stop stereotyping and saying that alot of people call Bush a monkey. That's just not true. Besides, IMO, it's just rude whether it's Bush or Obama. The name calling is ridiculous.

Because there is a racial implication — calling a black person a monkey is a known racial slur. That makes it hate speech, which is less acceptable than a straightforward insult. You could call Obama a cow or a dog, and that wouldn’t have the same implication.

Well simply because Bush makes faces like a chimp does. Obama doesn't.When people refer to Obama looking like an ape, they are making a racist and cruel statement implying all black people resemble Apes. I am appalled because my Great Grand daughter happens to be a Black Baby and I love her with every bit of my heart. You should be ashamed.

Because Bush has the intellect of a monkey, it must have been the decades of drugs and liquor.

Welcome to the double standard of liberalism.

Liberals control the media & YA, liberals make the rules for others, there are no rules for them.

By the way, Obama is a monkey with good people skills.
