The consistency of the left

The guy who drew this (see second panel):



Is criticising the guy who drew this:



Guess which cartoon drew the ire of Al Sharpton and the left in the US and elsewhere?

I will give you a clue - it wasn't the one calling Condoleezza Rice a 'house nigga'.

So it is ok to call a black Republican woman a 'house nigga' but not to call the authours of the stimulus package - who were presumably a mixed race bunch - crazed for authoring the largest, most flawed, economic stimulus in US history?

UPDATE: Some say it was payback from Sharpton for this:



And the article which goes with it; which presents Sharpton as the professional race baiter he is.

UPDATE II: The apology from the Washington Post seems to confirm this:

...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.

To them, no apology is due.
