Wis. GOP removes 'racist' cartoon from web site
THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 2003
The Wisconsin State Republican Party removed a cartoon from its web site that showed a tomahawk being thrown at a taxpayer with the slogan: "As taxpayers, we got scalped."
The cartoon was intended to criticize Gov. Jim Doyle's (D) new gaming compacts. But tribal leaders and others called it "racist," "tacky" and "offensive."
