Republican Women Racists United! Go McCain!
The incidents of racism and jingoism in the Republican Party as they confront the probability of a Barack Obama Presidency are getting even more out of control. Here’s an image promoted by some Republican women of Barack Obama on a food stamp, with watermelon and fried chicken. What, they forgot the greens?

2. Kool-aid?
Pardon my ignorance, but is Kool-aid a racial stereotype for African-Americans? I've never heard of such a thing.

3. It might be a commentary
on "drinking the koolaid, that African Americans are in the tank for Democrats? Unsure, just taking a stab at it.

6. I've long heard of drinking "red" Kool-Aid as being an AA stereotype.
So, naturally it's racist as well, just like everything else the RW does.

4. Look on the bright side
At least they have the sense to lay off the arugula and latte crap. The older stereotype is so tired that I'll bet it's a real turnoff for everyone but the 23% who still approve of Bush.
