Are you serious NY Post?

By now we have all seen or at least heard about the cartoon depiction of the monkey being shot by two New York City policemen in last weeks New York Post . As well, most of us have heard of the subsequent protests and boycotts of this daily trash chronicle. Unless you live in New York City or you're from the New York City area, the idea of protesting in front of, or boycotting the tabloid sort of leaves you on the side lines with no way to really redress your grievances . It's all good to denounce the post or join a cause on Facebook saying you're boycotting, but in actuality your voice is not really being heard .

Ruppert Murdoch and more importantly the sponsors of his various media holdings not feeling your anger and disdain over this overtly offensive and vile depiction is just as bad as Col Allan (the Post's editor) allowing Sean Delonas to go to final print with his highly offensive scribble scrabble. We the people cannot allow such offensive and potentially dangerous insinuations to go unchallenged and unpunished. While the New York Post is the most egregious offender in this instance the problem in and of itself will not disappear if some how the protest and boycotts are successful in getting the editor and the cartoonist fired. The NY Post is a mere subsidiary of a larger more powerful and just as bigoted conglomerate. News Corp is the parent company of the New York Post and they have more than enough entities that can affectively be targeted from people of all regions to send the resounding message that needs to be sent. They own FOX news and all of the local FOX stations around the country. They own The Wall Street Journal, MySpace and a plethora of talk radio stations on the am side of your radio. The bad thing about this fact is they have a very large bully pulpit for which to spread their smut, lies and evil intentions. The good part is they leave us myriad targets for which we can show our angst and disgust. If you have a Myspace page shut it down(Facebook is better anyway). If you watch any of the network programs on FOX like 24 and other propaganda shows take note of the companies that sponsor them. Send them letters and let them know that you will boycott their product if they continue to do business with Ruppert Murdoch's media holdings. If you watch FOX News take note of all of the lies and half truths that they routinely tell and again bring this to the attention of their sponsorship and let them know that their products will stay on the shelf if they continue to pay for the likes of Sean Hannity and Bill O'Rielly. If you really want to have your voice heard you need to start at the top. The only way those at the top will lend an ear is if you hit them on their bottom. The bottom line is all they know and all that motivates them. That is why Murdoch took the unprecedented step of issuing an apology for last weeks offensive cartoon. We need to let him know that he was a day late and a dollar short and we will continue to protest not only his tabloid news paper, but all of the media holdings that fall under the umbrella of News Corp.

Likening Obama to a monkey is offensive and bothersome enough, but had they stopped there most of us could have lived with that rather innocuous corny jab. The injury in this case was far more insidious than the insult. The image of the monkey being shot dead in the streets by New York City cops no less was the biggest evil in Delonas depiction. The drawing is all too consistent with the rising tide of anger, racism and assassination threats that has preceded Obama's rise to the highest office in the land. To truly understand the intent of Delonas, The NY Post and for that matter Ruppert Murdochs entire organization one has to fully understand the power of the subliminal mind. Once you plant the seed in the subliminal mind that it is okay or even necessary to do physical harm or bring death to a certain person or a certain movement the out growth will be conscience acts of violence. We saw this in New York the days after Obama was elected just like we saw this during the turbulent 60's. In fact history is replete with this gang mentality where certain people or certain industries were able to gin up their base to go out and do what they themselves have not the heart or power to accomplish. We have to call these purveyors of hate violence and ignorance out on the esoteric messages that they send.

They cleverly left themselves and out clause by correctly stating that it's the house of representatives not the president that wrote the stimulus just as the house writes all bills, but this particular bill just as any land mark legislation was and is inextricably linked to the president who signs it to law. So when on page five of the post Obama is signing the bill and on page six you have a monkey being shot with the caption " they will have to find someone else to write the next stimulus" who is the first person that comes to mind? What is the dominate message being sent?

By virtue of you reading this blog I can safely assume that you don't listen to a whole lot of conservative talk radio. I implore you to give it an ear just to fully understand the mentality that they are promoting to their legions of idiotic followers. We saw glimpses of it during the campaign at the bubble head Palin rallies but the they are getting worse. We need not allow their messages laced with hate, anger, re-infect this country.
