Daily Kos censors cartoonist Ted Rall over ‘ape-like depiction’ of Obama

Mediaite takes the position that Ted Rall might be a racist.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/daily-kos-censors-cartoonist-over-ape-like-depiction-of-president-obama/

I am certain that there are strong opinions about Daily Kos, censorship, Ted Rall, his cartoons, whether he is a racist, and even Mediaite for that matter... but my question is: does Ted Rall draw Obama as 'ape-like'?

I've read Rall for years now and I just never made that leap. (But maybe it's because I'm a white guy and agree more with Rall's POV on matters political, and less with Obama's.)

As premise, I tend toward devaluing Daily Kos and the mob mentality they occasionally demonstrate in this particular matter. Remember they got Scott Prouty, the guy who filmed Romney's 47% video, banned due to the "self-policing standards" the members there exhibit. So perhaps my overriding bias is a derogatory view of DK.

Lots of moving parts here, but to distill: Is Ted Rall a bigot? Does he draw Obama looking simian? If he does, is that worthy of being censored at Kos -- or even here, for that matter? I tend to answer 'no' to those three questions.

Am I wrong?

Rall is a shit-sucking rimmer, but I can't say his Obama looks any more simian than the original.

Can you imagine if a conservative cartoonist did that to Obama?

Exactly.  As a cartoonist, you're supposed to exaggerate the most prominent features.  It's supposed to look unmistakably like the politician in question.  For example, one would draw John Kerry with an outlandishly long face.  Rall's depiction is talentless.

Obama as a monkey is perfect because like a monkey, he flings poop with both hands.

Oh really?  Guess you must have also agreed with Rall on this little number too.....you disgusting piece of crap.

Ted Rall's comic strip labeling Condoleezza Rice "Bush's house nigga" crossed every last line of civility.
