Ladies and and Gentlemen,
I need some help. From discussions here I have got an impression that reference to a monkey is racistic. Various posters and signs featuring monkeys were more than once presented here in order to prove the racist nature of anti-Obama movement.
Being born far from here, I'm not sure I fully understand this cultural reference.
Here are two pictures:

First one is from Liberal Street Fighter, 2006, second one is from here, found via Google.
I will highly appreciate the comprehensive explanation: are both pictures racist? If only one, which one and why?
UPD: Thanks everybody, I got it. Could have guessed actually.

The short of the articles before: Those ACORN prostitution videos y'all were gushing about last week: fake. Fox, and particular their on-crack investigative team of Giles and O'Keefe got punk'd.
But please, keep throwing progressives in the briar patch. Y'Mental midgets.
