I posted this fear a long time ago. Every person who has spoken to the people and directly asked them to stand together has been killed in front of our very eyes. Add to that the fact that he could be the first black president and well...........here's to hope.

I think the man who made those t-shirts should be arrested for stealing. The title actually belongs to GWBush

It's disgusting but entirely predictable. It's not a big reach to go from religious prejudice, the wide spread belief that Obama is Muslim, to racial prejudice. The racists who have teeth and good paying jobs know better than to indulge in monkey t shirts, they use coded speech instead.

I'm actually kinda surprised by the "innocence" of the image on the shirt. Considering what is possible to photoshop this is tame. Now don't everybody pillory me.

I'm sure that Obama and his people have already accepted this as fact. And we won't know how far they'll go, until it happens.
This was expected.

Maybe it's even a good thing. If we want this candidate to succeed, we're not going to just be to cast a vote. Some uncomfortable realities about America are going to have to be fully confronted and overcome.
The speech in Philly was the dialog opener.

The reality of a Democratic president makes an awful lot of people fight like their backs are against the wall. A black president is going to be more than they can bear. There will be ugliness.
It will be an interesting time.

It's one thing to joke about what a person stands for, but this definitely crosses the line!

Maybe if Hillary would use her funds to campaign instead of having T-Shirts printed she would be 20 mill in debt!

Honestly I'm shocked we haven't seen more Amos and Andy bullshit making the rounds.

"looky here! I's be runnin' for Preseedent!!"

There's no way that doesn't already exist on some dark fucked up corner of the internet.

I will volunteer to be an "acid spitting zombie."

And since I have had a temper tantrum and am now completely loopy, I have a new theory: The Toothless Deliverance Obama haters are jealous because black people almost always have
beautiful white teeth.

We win friends in third world countries by having plastic surgeons volunteer their services to repair cleft palates in children. Why not have some Obama supporting dentists go to West Virginia
and Kentucky and help these people with their dental problems?

Side note to Harper:

I love your signature.

Have you ever read A confederacy of dunces?

It's one of my favorite books of all time.
