Seriously, I *know* a lot of Republicans are racist. Hell, they invited in all the racist Democrats who defected during the 60s after the Civil Rights Act. They have David Duke. And Pat Buchanan. And, well, a LOT of bigoted scumbags. But still...STILL...the depths they will go to never seem to amaze me.
Yeah, that's an Obama sock monkey. The makers have since stopped production and apologized but I find that to be about as sincere as Hitler celebrating Passover. Assholes.
"We at TheSockObama Co. are saddened that some individuals have chosen to misinterpret our plush toy. It is not, nor has it ever been our objective to hurt, dismay or anger anyone."- a portion of their clueless explanation
Now, I have no means to know this for sure, but it appears that the creator of the Sock Obama is a full-blown Mitt Romney supporter.
Here is another explanation from the creators.
And then, a full-blown anti-apology that puts more faith in free markets than in the concept of NOT BEING A FRIGGING RACIST!
Next up is this:
This piece of crap is a campaign button sold at the Texas Republican Party Convention in Houston recently. The party swears it had nothing to do with it, and has given the rental fee for the vendor to the Red Cross.
And still....
You let him set up a table, spread out his goods, sell his filth, and did not do a damn thing about it until a reporter said something. Good job Republicans. I literally could not have expected less.
And, of course, the guy selling the button has apologized. Which I don't believe either.
One last supposedly Freudian slip from Rep. Mark Kirk, who said yesterday, "Yeah, and I would much rather have a policy where if we see Obama there's a shoot-on-sight order."
He was speaking about Osama bin Laden, but this type of "misstatement" has been VERY common amongst the GOP.
