Post Chimp: NAACP Calls for Resignations, Rupe 'Livid'

Man did the New York Post unleash a can of worms (barrel of monkeys) last week when, for reasons still unexplained, it decided to publish Sean Delanos’ cartoon depicting two cops shooting a rampaging chimp that many have interpreted to represent Barack Obama. After a slew of protests last week the Post offered a sort-of apology, which appeared to only sort-of work. Now the NAACP is calling for the removal of both the Post‘s editor Col Allan as well as Delanos saying that the cartoon was “an invitation to assassinate President Barack Obama.”
