It was a political attack, Ebbie. Comparing a person to an ape implies a number of things about that person. It implies that they are stupid, that they are primitive, and that they are silly looking or ugly looking. It is not, by definition, an attack on their race regardless of what race we are talking about, unless it is routinely directed by the attacker at the members of that race in general.

I see no evidence that GfS routinely attacks Black people in general, I only see evidence that he attacks the Obamas politically, same as you or I have many times attacked George Bush or Dick Cheney politically. GfS doesn't like Bush and Cheney either, by the way.
