The Post said the cartoon was meant to mock what it called an "ineptly written" stimulus bill.
"But it has been taken as something else -- as a depiction of President Obama, as a thinly veiled expression of racism," reads the statement. "This most certainly was not its intent; to those who were offended by the image, we apologize."
"However, there are some in the media and in public life who have had differences with The Post in the past -- and they see the incident as an opportunity for payback," the statement says. "To them, no apology is due. Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon -- even as the opportunists seek to make it something else."
The Post is right. This is as ridiculous as the outcry over the Mohammed cartoons. Why not, the village idiot Al Sharpton is leading the mob.
What does Eric Holder have to say about this? Here's his chance to start that racial dialogue he's so brave about. Come on, Eric, spit it out.
