AAEC Criticizes NAACP Call For Action In Case Of Delonas Chimp Cartoon

They Association of American Editorial Cartoonists has criticized the NAACP's call for action against the New York Post over the publication of a Sean Delonas cartoon blending a story about a chimp and a story about the passage of a stimulus bill that many suggest was racist. They do so through a pretty straight-forward press release issued by that group's president Ted Rall. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm pretty much a free speech absolutist and I agree with the letter this wasn't a serious call for assassination. Still, I don't know that one group saying "that sucked, please fire these people now" and the editors saying yes or no in response shouldn't be part of the exchange of ideas that follows any editorial expression.
