BAR OWNER GETTING HEAT FOR OBAMA / CURIOUS GEORGE T-SHIRT

I knew there was something creepy about Obama. Think about it. Those stories from your childhood. It was always "the man" this and "the man" that. "The man"? That's so Jeremiah Wright and Obama. They're still blaming everything on "the man".
Marietta bar owner Mike Norman says the T-shirts he's peddling, featuring a look-a-like of cartoon chimp Curious George peeling a banana, with "Obama in '08" underneath, are not meant to offend.

About a dozen prostestors rallied against the shirts Tuesday afternoon, condemning them as racist and asking Norman, longtime proprietor of Mulligan's Bar and Grill on Roswell Street, to stop selling them.

But his defenders are just as resolute. Mulligan's is a refuge, they say, in an otherwise hypersensitive world. Here, smoking isn't only allowed, it's expected.
I wonder of any of these yahoos protested when this was done?
