This week in Washington, DC, the Freedom and Faith Coalition is holding their Road to Majority conference. Basically, this is a chance for conservative Christians to get together and discuss policy ideas as well as electoral strategy for 2014. This also happens to create an opportunity for Republicans from around the country to pander to the Religious Right in the hopes of gaining their support and approval ahead of the 2014 midterms and perhaps the 2016 Presidential election. Therefore, besides the usual suspects scheduled for an event like this, we also saw the likes of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) placed on the guest speaker list.
The Huffington Post sent Igor Bobic and Sam Stein to cover the event. Bobic discovered the figurine placed in the urinal. It was obviously done as a way to show total disrespect towards the President while being willfully offensive. Even the figurine itself appears to be a caricature of the President with at least a hint of stereotypically racial overtones. Besides witnessing this total lack of class on display, Bobic and Stein tweeted out the following observations Friday.

OP NOTE: If it has 'FAITH', 'FREEDOM', 'FOX', or 'FAMILY' in the title, it's just no damned good. This hate filled gathering had 2 /4. I rest my case.

(19,240 posts)I mean, they are urinating on the statue of a handsome Black man. Anyone got footage? I would love to get a shot of some Baptist minister holding his willie as he lets loose a golden shower on a male figurine. Preferably with a big, satisfied smile on his face.
