Now, the Obama Waffle site has a disclaimer and exit link cover to it's door.
http://www.obamawaffles.com/



Also sent the original waffles link to the Obama campaign website the same day I sent email my complaint to Yahoo.
Thought they might like a heads up on it.

1. way to go-- complaining works!!!!

[ComplimentarySwine]

2. Interesting. Did anyone click the exit links at the bottom?

Exit Left seems to go to the Obama campaign site, while Exit Right appears to go to Ron Paul's site?

[Whoa_Nelly]

3. Wow! No, didn't click those links

Yahoo really made them (Obama Waffles) clean up the doorway to their waffling place :evilgrin:

[samsingh]

4. maybe we should create

Mccain Waffles?

Mccain Sour Bread

Pallin Nuts?

[Myrina]

5. if it didn't have the racist overtone, i like "McCain Crackers"

... because "crackers" is another term for crazy. :silly:

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Funny story about my living in Alaska, and springboard for Palin Product!

Your post got me thinking..and remembering...

Summer of '85, I worked at a Denali River Raft & Cabins as a housekeeper. Great fun, beautiful state, and lived in a wall tent all summer at the edge of the Nenana River.

So many times that summer, cabin guests would come up to me with moose droppings in their hands asking if we had put these out as bear bait, so they could see a show of the grizzlies.
(yeah..they were that stupid...like we wanted the grizzlies in our compound :eyes:
Not to mention all the times they asked so many times where were all the Dahl sheep that I finally started telling them they were being held in the corral out back, before I made a quick getaway laughing my ass off...)

Anyway...Moose Droppings!!!


We could market Palin Moose Drop Cookies!!!

Or call them
Bear Bait Cookies!
With a fortune cookie twist! Bake fortunes into each cookie with factually documented lies of Palin and McCain on one side, and on the other words such as, Be Careful What You Wish For, or Who You Vote for, or Obama, The ONLY Choice! :evilgrin:

EDITED to Add!!
Moose Droppings!!

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. Trust me, I was so tempted at times to tell them they were a special candy

Like Giant Milk Duds :evilgrin:

[WarbirdForObama]

OMG I am so sick of their ignorance on this issue.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[ColbertWatcher]

12. They give you two "exit doors" one to the "left", the other to the "right"

The one for the right goes to a Ron Paul site.

WTF? Ron Paul is connected to these racists? Whodda thunk it?

[tannybogus]

13. Does Ron Paul know?? nt

[ColbertWatcher]

14. Don't know. It would be interesting to find out if he does. n/t

[tannybogus]

15. I just sent an email.

I called just on the offchance someone might answer. I will call again.

Inquiring minds and Enquiring minds.....:evilgrin:

I guess Books a Million had second thoughts about the product if they were considering it.

They also must have jumped on this site. I wonder what they said??

[dgibby]
