How Low Can The Republicans Get??????
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 07:42 PM by EV_Ares
While a number of speakers -- such as Railroad Commission chairman Michael Williams and Mike Huckabee -- have praised the advance of Barack Obama and what it means towards a colorblind society, at least one vendor hasn't gotten the message.Obama Button0001.JPG






At the Republican state convention, a booth hosted by Republicanmarket was selling a pin Saturday that says: If Obama is President will we still call it the White House.

There were other pins that weren't necessarily conveying the positive, inclusive, united front that has been portrayed during the convention. One said, "Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Deportation" and another, "I will hold my nose when I vote for McCain"

1. You think that is low? Wait til the GE really kicks off.
BTW, I love your sigline. (It's why I don't drink tequila anymore)

3. Nice colorway, too.
Good ol' black and white.

To their credit, the GOP did disenfranchise the vendor, barring them from any future events.

11. Only becuase they got caught, no other reason.
I guarantee you there a dozen, perhaps a hundred, racist strategies being "sold" by the Bushies.

If and as each gets caught and publicized, the Bushies will disown them, but they'll be upset at being forced to do so.

21. Words to live by for a teenager...NOT world leaders!
(I know you were kidding, my apologies for a serious response to a joke)

Of course, history shows us quite clearly that most world leaders have the morals and foresight of teenagers, so maybe it is appropriate.

13. I wish I could say I was surprised by this
but, I'm not.

And, we've already had Huckabee making a joke about Obama being shot at, and all the lies being spread about both he & his wife.

17. GOP SOP
Southern strategy, Willie Horton ad, negative ads against Democratic Senate candidates Harold Ford (TN) and Harvey Gantt (NC) to name a few.

18. That button is downright sweet compared what else is out there:









..ignorance and hate are a bottomless source of inspiration for the 'right' wing.
