1. Why is it that this gets posted two times a day?

Always bitching about racism for the Chia Obama.

And always by posters who have never donated.

Are we fishing for concern/outrage or racism where there exists none?

and exactly "how is it 'racist'"? Kitchy? Oh yes...it's a solid dead on with the definition of kitch. Racist...not really seeing it.

Because you can grow a 'fro? The man does have African hair. Nobody is denying it. Usefull, from what I have heard, concerning headlice.

While you're at it mention that folks are making fun of Eistein for having a glorious Jew-Fro. Clearly Anti-science and anti-semitic!!!



Then again...could be Vonnegut.

16. So you actually think this is some racist Republican plot?

n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. nope. Just a silly chia pet head.

[Ian David]

2. I would say that an Obama Lawn Jockey would be racist. The Chia Head... not so much.

Don't forget, there was also a Bill Clinton Chia Head.

3. I don't buy the racism part,

but where do you get "republican racism" from? It's a freaking chia not some vast right wing conspiracy.

As an amusing aside, I had an Elmer Fudd chia about 10 years ago. It was actually quite interesting to watch it grow, but I never quite got why they did an Elmer Fudd model. Wasn't the good Mr. Fudd bald?

4. The overwhelming DU response to the last 35 threads about this was..

Not so much racist as kinda fucking goofy.

That could be said about all of the chia products. :eyes:

5. No, it doesn't speak for itself...

Yawn!

[ShareTheWoods]

6. I scoured the chia site and did not find any mention of repubs

Where did you find that this chia product is a republican creation? As for racism, I don't see it.

10. Yea - this guy really sounds like he is a repub racist...

"I dreamed that I put out a very serious, pro-American, supportive Chia. ... The president is a sacred person. I asked, 'Can I take that fun feeling and turn it into something serious?' So I did it."

"Others who share the Chia honor: Homer Simpson, SpongeBob SquarePants and Scooby-Doo."

"Today, the range of Chias has expanded, with licensed characters including Elmer Fudd, Shrek and Homer Simpson growing green manes. "The new Chias are fun," Pedott says, "

11. Repigs looking for fake outrage.

All so they can laugh at "teh stoopid libruls".

Simple and plain.

[tammywammy]

12. No, I don't think it's racist at all.

No more than a Chia Homer is.

[Captain Hilts]

13. 'Made by you' sells Obama busts you can paint yourself. Is that racist? nt

[JitterbugPerfume]

15. not racist, just chintzy cheap crap

[DearAbby]

17. It shows their respect for the Office of the Presidency

being racist? nawh, Poor taste, Yeah. Poor taste or being tasteless isnt a violation of any laws.

[roughsatori]

18. Not racist - but tacky kitch. I think my brother had a Clinton Chia pet.

My brother has the worst taste. A house filled with Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia Phillies, and Metal bands memorobilia and mementos. A chia Obama would fit right in. I should have one sent to his house.

19. Looks more like crass capitalism rearing its ugly head to me...

Nothing more, in spite of the Republicans attracting a lot of racists to their party.

[Duke Newcombe]

20. More like crass opportunism and capitalism, I think... n/t
