May 2, 2011: Orly Taitz Presses Obama Birther Argument in Pasadena Court

Two attorneys who remain unconvinced that President Barack Obama was born in the United States took their case to a Pasadena courtroom today, asking an appellate court panel to reinstate their lawsuit challenging his citizenship and asking for closer examination of his birth certificate.
...
"The only recourse for the people is the courts," Kreep, who is based in Ramona, told the panel. "Nobody has been willing to take on Mr. Obama."
...
Taitz said today she was surprised by the treatment she has received from the courts and federal prosecutors. "I come from the Soviet Union,'' she said. "I would expect that in the Soviet Union. I would not expect it here." Although the original lawsuit sought release of the birth certificate, the pair now want a forensic expert to examine the birth certificate released by Obama last week.

A Special Message from President Bush

It's not racist!

[paradisacorbasi.livejournal.com]

Even though it's a depiction of the President in the same pose as Rafiki the Baboon in The Lion King, the cartoonist insists it's not racist.

Matt Bors made this comment:

"chimps are short, forcing cartoonists to have to tiptoe through a racial-metaphor-minefield."


Poor cartoonists. How can we possibly avoid drawing black people as sub-human apes? And what's with all these PC blacks not wanting to be depicted as monkeys after it was used as a racial slur for centuries?


Context and history matter.
Cartoonists are far too ignorant of it sometimes.

UPDATED: To add image parodied from The Lion King
