[AlinPA]

3. I assume this is RNC stuff.

[readmoreoften]

2. One of the worst Republican Parties in America. /nt

[flvegan]

4. Sort of proves their ultimate shitheadedness.

[AlinPA]

5. If these are handed out and worn in Minneapolis how will the media treat it?

The RNC is really desperate. And they expect to get African Americans to vote for them?

[blue sky at night]

6. it should say....

When Obama is President I will cry and moan and bitch every day then try to find ways to impeach that uppity black son-of-a-bitch. Or insert word that rhymes with "bigger"....Nothing I hate more than Republican Racists....hope they all enjoy the new Democratic Majority in both Houses as well as a Dem in the White House!

[Amerigo Vespucci]

7. If THIS fucking rancid four-legged hog can sport a Kerry-bashing "Purple Heart Band-Aid"...

...I'm ready for just about any racist bullshit the GOP can throw.



"Party of Family Values" INDEED.

:puke:

[Elidor]

10. Funny you should mention her

IIRC, she's a grand-high muckey-muck in the Texas republican party. She would love those buttons.

[orleans]

20. funny you should say that. i was just wondering about her:

who is she?
i wonder how her life has been going?
has she lost her job/house/insurance yet?
where she lives and is there high flood water....things like that.

[Elidor]

26. Pat Peale. She was a GOP convention delegate from Texas in 2004

I once saw a brief profile of her, but it's not coming up in a search.

[B.S. Lewis]

13. I think the way she looks with that on her chin is sufficient punishment (nt)

[Heather MC]

8. I have been telling everyone to call it the "the black house"!

Damn Straight, these repuks might as well get use to it now!
I am black, I am not offended, I will agree and move on

Obama is black woop de doo!
If this is all they have as a reason not to vote for Barack, it's Clear the repuks are screwed and Obama will be the President!

[Liberal Gramma]

9. That's disgusting

No less than I expected from the Texas Republicans.

[scarface2004]

11. you should have seen the ones with the noose...

and white hoods and burning crosses!! the gop is gonna go all out racist...should be totally pre civil rights segregationist kool!!

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Holy fuck. Why isn't this classified as a hate crime?

"Those people"* ought to be skewered and cooked and fed to alligators.

*Those people: the Mouth Breather and Knuckle Dragger Wings of the Repubican Party.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Pathetic, aren't they?

[AlCzervik]

15. Racist Texas Republicans, maybe someday that won't be true. too bad that isn't today.

[lpbk2713]

16. Figures. No surprise here.

Stupid is as stupid does.

OxyRush would be proud.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

17. "Oh, you liberals and negroes are soooo sensitive!"

:sarcasm:

I'm telling you....this election season is only beginning to get ugly......

[gratuitous]

18. Will McCain be pressured to denounce this?

Or will the popular media give him yet another pass for the outright racism of his party? Obama has had to answer for so many other people; it seems that McCain should have to explain how this doesn't represent the True Heart of the Republican Party. Unless, of course, it really is.

[Alcibiades]

19. In the words of President Bush:

Bring it on!

If they use this, this will alienate all those respectable white middle class people who imagine they are not racist.

[RamboLiberal]

21. I hope the f'ers wear them at the convention

Show Repukes true racist colors!

[27inCali]

22. so who's going to blow the MSM's mailboxes and blogs

to tell them all about it.

[csziggy]

23. Somebody needs to show them the scene from "John Adams"

with the slaves building the nation's capital and the White House. In the movie, Abigail Adams made a comment about how "nothing good can come of this" - I wondered if that was a historic quote.

[Two Americas]

25. that is historically accurate

Abigail Adams' comments about the slaves working on the White House grounds survive in a private letter she wrote. She witnessed slaves dressed in rags working when she first visited the (newly opened and not quite completed) White House.

I am paraphrasing here, but she mentioned that it was first and foremost immoral and cruel that people were in bondage at all, but beyond that, watching the owner of the slaves resting at ease in the shade, she said that it was disgusting that the slave owners were so idle and arrogant, and also that a couple of Yankee boys could do the work of a dozen slaves in half the time, and the owner of the property would be working right along side of them as an equal.

[galledgoblin]

24. hil. air. ie. ous.

seriously. I'm just rolling on the floor here.




I almost forgot, republicans don't understand sarcastic humor, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V82I7vgzfgE">they think it's too "New York". guess I gotta add the :sarcasm: tag.

[Xenotime]

27. Man. They can't help themselves.

Did they at least have the decency to take off the white hoods? Why is this not a crime?
