Umm... no. The accentuated ears, lips, teeth and noise coupled with the reduced cranial dome is classic racism.

Honestly those are disgusting. The caricature is racist itself and most of what is written (and misspelled) is untrue. This is not free speech as much as it is libel and defamation.
Please, how is it racist in any way? You obviously don't read many financial or wall street news papers, because they have cartoons in them like this all the time. Get real, your only mad because it's true.

First off, if you want to correct someone on math, try to know some. IT would actually be 2.66 years to be exact.

Love the signs, but my question is this - How could anyone ever vote for this poor excuse for a president ever again?
When that stretch of I-5 was first plotted in the 1950s it was designed to run straight through the middle of Hamilton Farms. We were unable to ferret out all the details, but it appears Hamilton's first sign was an act of protest against the highway being there at all. But by the 1960s, when the highway was finally built, the cash-strapped Hamilton had come up with an alternative revenue stream by renting advertising space on billboards on his property.
Then along came First Lady Ladybird Johnson, who was instrumental in getting the 1965 Highway Beautification Act passed. Designed to regulate the proliferation of commercial billboards along interstate highways (at which it largely failed), the act allowed existing non-conforming billboards to remain in place for several years. It wasn't until 1971 that the Attorney General came demanding Hamilton remove his signs, and it was right around then that his wife read that, for the first time, the state was spending more on welfare than on education. And so Uncle Sam was born.

Fine.
Some one put up this George Bush Caricature To make things even.
If you go into politics you had better have a real thick skin or get the heck out of the ARENA.
I am really getting sick of the Bush bashing is O.K. but do not touch a hair on Obama's head or we will tattle to Mommy that you are a racist.
Bush is gone and good riddance now it is Obama in the Hot seat so get over it!
