Pretty much the rudest, most obnoxious thing that I have seen lately. But what does one expect from a site called T-Shirt Hell?

That's almost as bad as the Obama Waffle Mix souvenier

(as if one party has more "class" than the other)

I don't think this crap has anything to do with the parties - it's just vendors trying to make a buck. Though, admittedly, the Obama waffle mix WAS being sold at the RNC convention.

It's funny, but in that "Save the gay baby whales for Jesus" T-Shirts sort of way. Not appropriate and should never be worn, but funny to laugh at for just a moment.

The Associated Press: Forum sells 'Obama Waffles' with racial stereotype

The stereotype accusation is inaccurate...The Associated Press article actually does NOT say WHY the waffle mix was actually created (no surprise there)...

Here's why they created the waffles mix in the first place...

Lemme Eat My Waffle

Quote:

This morning at a diner in Scranton Obama sat down at the counter to enjoy a waffle breakfast with Senator Bob Casey. He’d already spent more than 30 minutes glad handing the restaurant’s denizens, and with the 15+ press pool crammed behind the counter before him Obama dug in. Which is when one of the network reporters took the advantage of the close proximity to ask a question about Jimmy Carter meeting with Hamas and Obama irritably answered: “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?”

They even menion that on their own website...That's the reason why the whole idea of a waffle mix was created in the first place! (Of course, you'd never know that by reading the AP because they don't tell you that)...

As per the images of Obama himself, they are no more insulting and no less insulting than previous cartoons made of presidents (let alone a candidate)...

They are called CHARICATURES...prominent features accensuated are the norm...bulbous nose...big ears...ANYTHING the makes a feature embellished...

But all of a sudden it's now supposed to be "off limits" based on nothing more than skin color...

If Obama becomes president, I GUARANTEE you his supporters will have that race card handy almost every single time a cartoonist portrays him as a charicature (i.e doing their job)...

On that same note. Although I liked the President in question, there was a joke going around back in the day that goes like this:
You take a sheet of paper and draw three vertical lines on it like

l l l

Then you hand the pencil to your "mark" and say, "Now make a jackass out of this.

After he attempts and fails you take the pencil and add a few strokes till it reads:

LBJ
