In the heat of the political campaign the igneutrality of the media raised its ugly head when the Washington Post on-line took a simian shot at Senator Ted Cruz' kids and the candidate too picturing them as monkeys tended by Cruz the organ grinder. One must marvel at the Jim Crow mentality that afflicts Democrats that is blind when the hate is applied to Republicans or those without decadent political sentiments.
Back in the day it was reasonably svab to consider President Bush II's simian ancestry because of things like T-ball and the cost of waging war in Iraq. That wasn't the President's family though, and G.W. Bush was a good sport about that sort of thing at least, while nothing can be said for the Washington Post's bad humor except that it reminds one of a 1930's German style about Jews.
Political cartoonists do of course tend to go for sensationalism rather than sobriety. Sometimes they go too far in exploiting politicians if that were possible, yet in 2015 that sort of racist cartoon from a leftist paper is remarkable. Really.
