I just got my e-mail from Hillary to send to the DNC and demand that FL and MI be seated. It felt good to express myself directly.

Actually, that’s not quite fair. A Georgia man is selling t-shirts with Obama peeling a banana looking like Curious George. He made the national news, even though he’s a mere tavern owner selling out of his small town, as a “typical racist” against Obama.

Why, then, isn’t someone doing the same on these types of items being sold nationally?

The gross misogyny is OK?

Why?

So can you tell me why the Curious George t-shirt issue made national news? Curious George is a cute little monkey right? BO has big ears, and is about the same color right? So can’t HE take a joke either, eh?

So if something was done like this to Obama – using stereotypical “black” thing it would be taken as a joke & we would be told to grow thick skin? I THINK NOT….there would be so much outrage and calling for heads to roll at CNBC

I feel/know there is a double standard here…..

I work with liberals at a shop that caters to liberals. We sell the Hillary nutcracker and it always gets a laugh. Sorry you don’t have a sense of humor.

There’s that ‘left wing media’ at it again!
John McCain is literally nuts, why not sell nuts labelled, McCains?
Because the consolidated US media cartel is run by fascists.. NBC is owned by major war profiteer GE.
We’re never going to have balanced information in media until we bust this cartel.

Tacky? Yep. Offensive? Sure. Funny? Absolutely. Its a joke, people. We tell bad, non-PC jokes all the time. Grow some thicker skin and move on to spending quality time w/your family. Take this example for the shallow jab that it is. Politics has made everyone so dang SENSITIVE. I’m equally disgusted with all candidates. Even if I had a favorite, I’d have to give kudos to a good marketing ploy (whilst bemoaning our capitalistic tendencies). If all the offended folks out there were viewing a Barak doll that spit watermelon seeds (and yes I’d find it offensive yet amusing), would you be as worked up? Is a DOLL enough to skew our opinions? No – it only appeals to a similar mindset. Is your outrage going to change their minds? How many other instances of clashing ideologies have ticked you off? What have you done about it? CAN you do anything about it? Think, people. Tend your garden to the best of your ability and let the rest go.

Since sexism is o.k going in the Clinton direction why not back the other way!!

How about a Michelle Obama doll carrying a purse with her husbands “nuts” in it.
On the purse it could say, “Obama’s nut case.”

There could even be a string in the back. When pulled, Michelle starts complaining about how “obama can’t make a bed as well as their youngest child.”

She did say that before. What’s the harm!!

It isn’t like she is being called a nut case, just her purse. That is where she keeps them isn’t it?

Hell, I’d buy 10 of those, too.

McCain, Shillary, Obama: this time, there is NO lesser of the two (or three) evils.
