"If Google got a call from the White House telling them it's against the law to have an offensive image of this kind which portrays the first lady in a racist manner as a monkey or an ape, then they would be obliged to take it down and I'm sure they would do so immediately."

WTF?

Me neither. Nothing offensive about those photos, so obviously the offending photo has been removed - as you'd expect.

It's an interesting story...looking at the link it seems the reason it appears first is that so many people are telling the poster what a ** he is. I think google have it about right. It would be a slippery slope.

I wish people would stop posting links to pages that DON'T show the 'offending' photo.

Istill haven't seen it.

Bush was frequently portrayed as an ape. Was that racist too?
