GOP convention button asks, ‘If Obama is president…will we still call it the White House?’
A booth at this weekend’s Texas Republican convention sold buttons asking, “If Obama Is President…Will We Still Call It The White House?”:
The company that makes the buttons boasts providing “Patriotic and Republican Products.” Another button they sell features a picture of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), with the phrase: “Life’s a b**ch, don’t vote for one.” (HT: AmericaBlog)
Update Matt Stoller comments, "File this under remarkable but not surprising."

Well, New Orleans will still be chocolate.
June 17th, 2008 at 12:59 pmYeah… the racism is gonna be hard to ignore, even for moderate Republicans.
Good strategy, GOP.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:00 pmSo, um, apparently being racist is being patriotic and republican.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:00 pmSigh.
On the other hand, this could be a good thing. If bigots will label themselves as such, we can tell who they are much more efficiently.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:00 pmWhat’s worse – this, or joking about assasination? Apparenlty both are legal and acceptable today.

I agree. I also think that this is going to backlash on them. The true died in the wool bigots will never vote for Obama anyway. But the people who have subliminal racist tendencies (probably instilled by their parents) are going to be very uncomfortable with this and it might just push them towards Obama, especially if he doesn’t over react.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:02 pmWell that was quick. I just emailed TP about this like 15 minutes ago haha. Or maybe they had it in the “tubes” already and it is coincidence.
Anyway, point being, this would be even more hilarious than it is if it weren’t so…well…racist and tragic.
Republicans: Bigotry You Can Count On™
June 17th, 2008 at 1:04 pmha, and if McCain is elected, it will be the old folk’s home…
June 17th, 2008 at 1:05 pmThis is more evidence that one underlying principle of conservativism and fascism is racism.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:06 pmAnother election year for the GOP, another campaign void of substance. Demean the challenger by failing to debate on the issues. Harass the challenger. Incite hatred.
Too bad for them, it isn’t making any real difference. Sure, Alan Colmes has to put up with nastier calls, but the presidency is still Obama’s.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:07 pmWas it the White House when Condi Rice was in it?
June 17th, 2008 at 1:07 pmAnd the booth next door sells white sheets and rope.
PEACE
June 17th, 2008 at 1:07 pmI think it will be known as the “Eastern White House”.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:09 pmIf bush is our president, can we still call us a democracy?

Well, milk chocolate anyhow. Actually, it’s more cappucino these days, now that it’s been ethnically cleansed.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:12 pmThe party of Lincoln has fallen so far.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:12 pm**just shake my head in disbelief**
On the other hand, as misshusseinmolly says, this will definitely help us ID them. These fools are still living in the pre-civil rights movement world where Blacks took this stuff and kept silent. They are in for a very, very rude awakening.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:12 pmThis is REALLY getting ugly. A white guy in Georgia selling t-shirts with overt racist overtones, the sock-monkey production is going forward, now this. And this is ONLY the beginning.
Hold on to your hats folks, this is going to be downright brutal, ugly, and overtly racist campaigning.
Don’t be surprised when the floor of the GOP convention is filled up with KKK halloweenie costumes the confederate stars & bars, and McPutz will be given the honor of igniting the cross on the podium.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:13 pmAnd there are still folks in this country who will look at the button and laugh about it. To them, it is funny. Just think about the mindset of the right side. Obama was an accomplished student and community rights lawyer, he is a successful author, a successful US Senator, the presumptive Democratic candidate for POTUS. To the uneducated on the right side, this is scary stuff: An educated BLACK MAN…Run away!!!!!In the old days, education and accomplishement were things to be cheered and rewarded. Now the right side is frightened about the very same education and accomplishment.
Why is it that staying uninformed and oblivious to the reality of our country is considered a good thing to the right side?
June 17th, 2008 at 1:13 pmrusrus Says:
ha, and if McCain is elected, it will be the old folk’s home…
To get his goat, Obama should play “Old Folks’ Boogie” at the next town hall meeting:
“And you know, that you’re over the hill, when your mind makes a promise, your body can’t fill…”
June 17th, 2008 at 1:13 pmThe quip is neither funny or clever. What is funny/weird is that it is coming from the Party of Lincoln.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:14 pmlarkohio;
they’re evil
June 17th, 2008 at 1:14 pmAh, good old republicans. They got the market cornered on patriotism, huh?
I think Gonzo said it best after the ‘00 ‘election’:
“We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world — a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us. No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we’ll kill you. “Well, sh1t on that dumbness, George W. Bush does not speak for me or my son or my mother or my friends or the people I respect in this world. We didn’t vote for these cheap, greedy little killers who speak for America today — and we will not vote for them again in 2002. Or 2004. Or ever. “Who does vote for these dishonest sh1theads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid rich kids like George Bush? “They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us — they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. “And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fu(k them.”
June 17th, 2008 at 1:15 pmInteresting. So, this is the 2008 version of the GOP’s “Purple Heart Band-aid”.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:15 pmWell, with the price of fuel so high, they wont be able to afford these immature tacky trinkets.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:16 pm.
Ahhh…
Nothing like the fresh air of racism in the morning.
.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:18 pmNobody could have predicted that a bunch of racist sociopaths would do this …
June 17th, 2008 at 1:21 pmRacism like this is SO pre-9/11.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:22 pmAmericans – good ones anyway – must turn away from these overt racist messages. I thought we were over most of the bigotry, but it appears not. The very same folks who are scared of an edcuated black man are folks we don’t need in this country. They should take their toothless grins and split. They are following their leader down to a 25% approval rating. I wonder if they truly know what the polling means? Lower is better?
June 17th, 2008 at 1:23 pmCan we wear one that says, “McCain, as old and white as the White House”?
June 17th, 2008 at 1:24 pmcitizen_pain, thanks for that great quote by Hunter S. Thompson. I had to send it to some of my friends.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:24 pmThe company that makes the buttons boasts providing “Patriotic and Republican Products.”
I fear that “Republican patriotism” is well on its way to becoming an oxymoron.

I don’t know about Texas, but where I’m from republicans come in two forms. Ones who wouldn’t poke a pin through their nice suit and ones left with decision of buying a pin or a case of Natural Light. I won’t be seeing any of those pins around here.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:26 pmIf Republicans don’t like having a black man in the White House, they can seceed from the Union.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:28 pmRacist to the very last drop… It will again be the people’s White House, instead of being a hideout for the lying, war-mongering, traitorous Bush gangster regime. They will be running for cover, hiding in various obscure places, trying to avoid their war crimes trials in The Hague…
June 17th, 2008 at 1:28 pm“If Obama Is President…Will We Still Call It The White House?”:
According to some, it’ll be Obama’s Monkey House.
And on that day, the collective conservative whine will be deafening.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:28 pmExcuse me for a minute. What H S T book did that quote come from? I admit the last one I read was Generation of Swine.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:28 pmRacism is stoked by fear. Fear in knowing Obama has so much more insight on how to solve the problems of the day. Fear in knowing an African-American can lead the country. Fear in him inspiring change. Republicans know they have no such candidate in their ranks. So they have to disparage Obama.
And of course their sexism follows from fear too.
No this isn’t surprising at all.

______
Don’t forget Rush’s favorite ditty, “Barack the Magic Negro.”
And yeah, the racism in this campaign season is going to get a lot worse. I hope it does, with KKK rallies springing up all over the country to protest the candidacy of a black president. The more we can conflate conservatives and klansmen, the more marginalized both will become.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:31 pmI worry that there are two ways this will play out and one being very scary; either this racist approach by the Repugs will be rejected in a large victory for the Dems, or, all the closet racists still in this country will come forward and further destroy this country.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:33 pmI bet we will see these advertised for sale at all pro wrestling shows and on most reality TV programs.
Gotta know your demographics!
June 17th, 2008 at 1:35 pmRacist or not?

Wow! These days racists generally pretend that they aren’t racist but it’ll be hard to deny this one. On the plus side, with these buttons it’ll be easier to spot one.
http://progressiveworldreview.com
June 17th, 2008 at 1:36 pmThis is the best thing that could happen to our country. For too long, the right-wing, regressive Republicans have hidden their racism behind a thin veil of phony principle stands.
Now that their worst nightmare is about to come true, they are forced to come out and shout the truth that any honest, thinking person has know for so long, that they are simply racist to the very core of their being.
Barak Obama said that we needed an honest discussion of race in America, and he is getting it. Republicans will never again be able to hide their overt racism.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:40 pmIf McCain is President…will it be called Old Whitey’s House?
June 17th, 2008 at 1:40 pm…buttons asking, “If Obama Is President…Will We Still Call It The White House?”
Available at finer biker bars and midget wrestling venues everywhere.

June 17th, 2008 at 1:41 pmOh. My. God.
These people are beyond loathesome.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:41 pmhmmm…I say, bring it on!
It plainly puts the lie to that “the party of Lincoln” crap.
It provides a reality check anyone thinking that Obama in the WH is going to “heal” the nation and all that naive nonsense too.
For once these GOP bastards aren’t lying. Let them hang themselves by their own words. The more they draw attention to their racism, their disgust for the common man, and their rejection of the principles and philosophies embedded in the US constitution and the Bill of Rights, the more they will be rejected. They will lose a lot of their former power which they have used to maintain their bigoted conept of what America should be. Take the power from the recists and racism will lose its power.
Bring it on, I say!
June 17th, 2008 at 1:41 pmI see shoeless is of the same mind.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:42 pmIf the Republicans win this one, they will rename it the “White’s Only House”.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:43 pmI’m relativly certain that if Lincoln were alive today, he’d be the first to tell these knuckle draggers get the hell away from him and to stop using his name in vain.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:49 pmYou will notice that they sell “Patriotic” AND ‘Republican” products – clearly not the same thing! For those occassions when you need something patriotic, or for those occassions when you would rather go Republican!
June 17th, 2008 at 1:49 pmIt’s was one vendor at the Texas Republican convention.
But, it’s symptomatic of the Republican problems with race and bigotry.
Republicans need to make the party uncomfortable for racists and bigots. People are the same regardless of their race. If you consider that, conservatives should be getting a representational share of the minority votes.
They aren’t getting those votes, in large part, because republicans have allowed an atmosphere comfortable for racists and bigots.
Until they address that shortcoming, they shouldn’t expect many of color to consider conservative ideals.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:50 pmI’m not sure where I got that quote. I think it was an essay he wrote shortly after Bu$h was appointed president by the right wing supreme court.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:50 pmWhatever happened to John McCain’s illegitimate “mud baby” that Karl Rove liked to talk about so much back in 2000? Will she be allowed in Whitey’s House?
June 17th, 2008 at 1:52 pmWill these buttons replace the (made in China) flag pins on all the Faux NoNooz dickheads and the Repug congressional members??

Nor ANY votes from anyone remotely offended by racism and elitism.
This will truly be a referendum for whether we are a 21st Century country or 19th Century country. Period.
June 17th, 2008 at 1:56 pmThere are racists in Texas? Really?
June 17th, 2008 at 1:57 pmbackup Says:

That’s one too many. How many vendors do you think will be selling crap like that at the Democratic convention? I’ll give you a hint. It will be less than one.
backup Says:

That will be difficult to do, since THE REPUBLICANS ARE THE PARTY FOR RACISTS AND BIGOTS!
backup Says:

You just don’t get it, do you? They haven’t just “allowed an atmosphere comfortable for racists and bigots”, they have fostered an atmosphere comfortable for racists and bigots
June 17th, 2008 at 2:03 pmWow, how many Macaca moments will we have this summer? Everytime the GOP will lose votes. Delicious.
Anyone know when the Klan will officially endorse McCain. And then claim, you know, not because he’s white. It’s because of his “maverick” views on how we shouldn’t celebrate MLK Day, or how the Confederate flag should be allowed to fly over southern state houses.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:04 pmBY THE TIME I GET TO ARIZONA!
June 17th, 2008 at 2:05 pmI give you a “Recommend”, backup, because you hit the nail on the head. Or at least very close to the head.
Soberly put, most Republicans are not racists. But if you’re a racist (in the conventional, white racist sense), then with which party are you going to align yourself?
The Democrats, with their drive to secure fairness and protect equal rights for everyone, including minorities, are not going to be too attractive to this demographic.
Republicans, on the other hand, not only built a stronghold in the South on the basis of Nixon’s southern strategy, but also strive first to protect the rights of those who already HAVE — who already have property, who already have wealth, who already have power and access to power. To a racist, these folks are gonna feel like daddy’s home.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:07 pmrogerse Says:
wow, so not even regarding the message, we are to assume this one vendor represents the gop?.slander, huh?.
Well, if they let the vendor stay there, they’re accepting the message.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:08 pmrogerse Says:
“wow, so not even regarding the message, we are to assume this one vendor represents the gop?.slander, huh?.”
This vendor isn’t set up on the street outside the convention, the booth is inside the convention. The GOP runs the convention. They are aware of what this vendor is selling. They haven’t made the vendor remove the racist merchandise. So yes, dipsh1t, this vendor represents the official GOP (wide) stance on this topic.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:09 pmlarkohio Says:
You know, this is how low folks will go. I am so disgusted at these people. Are they really this stupid or are they just evil?
Trick question. They’re stupid AND evil.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:09 pmwow, so not even regarding the message, we are to assume this one vendor represents the gop?.slander, huh?.
Slander???? No. Racist. You Bush lovers need to go back to school and learn the English language.
How many of these buttons did they sell? My guess is more than zero. The booth should have been shut down by the GOP if indeed they don’t represent the GOP.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:10 pmKeep it up, GOP. You are showing your true colors. And you wonder why the GOP is the party of old fat white men.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:11 pmbackup has a difficult job here at TP. He is a steady and unwavering apologist for all things Republican, while attempting to sound reasonable and credible at the same time.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:12 pmLet me ask the Repug enablers on here:
If a Dem Convention allowed the selling of, let’s say, a button showing McCain endorsing Depends or maybe, would there be any outcry from the right wing media?
We are anxiously awaiting your HONEST answer, backup and roger2
June 17th, 2008 at 2:15 pmIf McIIIrd wins, will we have to call it the Residence of the C*ntTrollop?
June 17th, 2008 at 2:15 pmI am disgusted with this shameless display of racism and bigotry and would like to share one of my favorite poems by the great Senghor, ex president of the country and founder of the “Negritude movement”. The original is in French, I’ve provided a loose English translation. My students consistently rate this among their top literary favorites; a sign that times are thankfully changing and that the younger generation has no tolerance for such evil vestiges of the past.
Poème à mon frère blanc
- Léopold-Sédar Senghor
” Cher frère blanc,
Quand je suis né, j’étais noir,
Quand j’ai grandi, j’étais noir,
Quand je suis au soleil, je suis noir,
Quand je suis malade, je suis noir,
Quand je mourrai, je serai noir.
Tandis que toi, homme blanc,
Quand tu es né, tu étais rose,
Quand tu as grandi, tu étais blanc,
Quand tu vas au soleil, tu es rouge,
Quand tu as froid, tu es bleu,
Quand tu as peur, tu es vert,
Quand tu es malade, tu es jaune,
Quand tu mourras, tu seras gris.
Alors, de nous deux,
Qui est l’homme de couleur ? ”
Translation in English
A poeme for my white brother
- Léopold-Sédar Senghor
Dear white brother,
When I was born, I was black,
When I gew up, I was black,
When I am in the sun, I am black,
When I am sick, I am black,
When I die, I’ll be black.
Wheras you, white man,
When you were born, you were pink,
When you grew up, you were white,
When you’re in the sun, you’re red,
When you are coldm you’re blue,
When you are afraid, you’re green,
When you’re sick, you’re yellow,
When you die, you’ll be grey.
So, between the two of us,
June 17th, 2008 at 2:17 pmwho’s the colored man?
Spouse sez- Right now it’s a Charnel House. Dripping with blood from the hands of the B*shCo administration and their hand picked, complicit military.
(Yours & my vocab lesson for the day: Charnel House – a house in which dead bodies or bones are deposited)
Thank goodness the lease is almost up. Congress MUST pass a resolution forbidding any further attacks on any other nation without full – 2/3’s – approval of both houses in the next 8 months!
June 17th, 2008 at 2:21 pmRemember, Ronnie Ray-gun kicked off HIS general election campaign in the infamous Philadelphia proclaiming devotion to states rights.
in case anyone has forgotten, or was too young to remember it, 3 civil rights workers were killed in 1964 by the KKK in Philadelphia, MS for registering blacks to vote. It was the basis for the movie Mississippi Burning.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:22 pmrogerse, the fact is the GOP has a history of using racism to bring out the resentful white man vote…they call it the Southern STRATEGY. You may think that Ken Mehlman apologized for it, but it is still going on…

They aren’t getting those votes, in large part, because republicans have allowed an atmosphere comfortable for racists and bigots.

Blatant racism? Acceptable blatant racism?
This goes too far. Someone. SOMEONE had to know that this was racist, and forbade them from being sold. Didn’t happen, tho.
When racism becomes acceptable, we as a nation suffer greatly.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:31 pmOne needs to look no further then Nazi Germany, or hell, even our own recent history, where lynching was a form of justifiable justice.
Seriously, this scares me. How does a nation with such great minds, such wealth, such power, allow this? Well, one can answer that by just looking at the past 7 and 1/2 years. New World Order? How about New World White Order!
I’m disgusted!
I cannot wait until these racist have to acknowledge PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!

Don’t think it’s that bad, eh? I’m really sick to death of racist white men telling us that their racism isn’t really all that bad. Tell you what roger, buy yourself one of those pins, and since it isn’t that bad, pin it to your lapel, right under your flag pin, and show it to a big black man. Get his opinion on how bad it is, then come back and tell us how he expressed his opinion.

If old people were systematically oppressed for 350 years with slavery, beatings, lynchings, voter intimidation, redlining etc… then you would have a point. They haven’t, therefore, you don’t.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:38 pmthen you would have a point
Correction
Even then you don’t have a point.

Hell, I expect roger2x, exley and the rest of the trolls will excitedly and patriotically embrace the agenda of President Barack Hussein Obama. We wouldn’t expect to see any hypocracy would we?

Yes, but they don’t serve Condoleeza Rice.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:53 pmRepublicans cheated their way into the WH in 2000 and 2004, and both were elections against other white males. Now what will the party of racists be willing to do? Is lynching going to make a comeback? Republican racism and bigotry are the only reasons this election will be close.

Don’t tell me, let me guess: you are a charter member of the PUMA Party. Right?
AND, you will be voting for Johnny Boy, Right again?
June 17th, 2008 at 2:58 pmThis story is not about Hillary. Bt, since you brought it up, the idea that Democrats are misogynists is absurd.
It’s time you gave up that fight.
June 17th, 2008 at 2:59 pm#Shinning Light Says:
Thank goodness the lease is almost up. Congress MUST pass a resolution forbidding any further attacks on any other nation without full – 2/3’s – approval of both houses in the next 8 months!
We don’t need the law, I believe it’s in the constitution under the separation of duties. Only Congress can declare war. Just because Bush didn’t call it a war doesn’t make it anything different.

And, if we were so anti-feminist, why was one of the most posted threads about the scumbag Williams’ comment about rape.
Me thinks the lady does protest too much.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:05 pmGive it up, RHF. You lost. Get over it. Move on.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:11 pmEvery GODDAMNED one of these should be hung around McCain’s neck, and he should be forced to publicly renounce them. The Curious George shirts, the Sock Obama Monkeys, this outrage…all of them should be pointed directly at McCain: “Senator, is this what you stand for? Is this what the Republican Party Stands for?”
June 17th, 2008 at 3:12 pmThe last two prez elections haven’t exactly instilled confidence in the electrate to make an informed, rational decision. This election shouldn’t even be close. It’s got to be a landslide, but I fear a repeat of ‘00 on a ‘grand’ scale. They’re probably already working overtime to disenfranchise all minority votes.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:14 pmWhy does RHF seem to fire off a fart bomb and then slink away?
Has she given up on the world?
June 17th, 2008 at 3:15 pmRHF,
ROTFL!
ROTFL!
ROTFL!
Yeah, let’s talk sexism. Like you calling our female posters here “c*nts”.
Dude (or dudette), you’re as hilarious and hypocritical as Daryll of parodyll!
June 17th, 2008 at 3:17 pmAnd, for those of you who haven looked at the PUMA party, here is the website.
Quite enlightening.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:18 pmAlso, roger dodger seems to have left. Could it be that he has donned his Curious George T-shirt, attached his “Would it still be the White House” pin, taken up his sock monkey, and gone in search of a black man to discover whether he has gone too far?
June 17th, 2008 at 3:19 pmIt should be called the People’s House not the White House whether or not McMonkey wins or loses.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:20 pmrepublicans hate facts might do well to remember that Senator Obama ran an incredibly clean campaign and that it was HRC’s camp that was flinging lies, innuendo, racism, the kitchen sink etal in their desperate attempts at procuring the nomination. r h f fails to accept that it was Clinton’s Rove style campaigning and cut throat tactics that cost her any chance she may have had with Democrats. Her ability to run a perfect Republican style campaign is exactly what turned off core Democratic voters which was all she ever really had other than older female voters which, when they inform themselves about the actual issues that are important to them, will confidently vote for Obama. A small portion (my guess is about 10-12%) of Clinton voters may defect to McCain’s side. What are you going to do? A percentage of Americans still support Bush despite logic and fact.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:24 pmRed Pill Says:
June 17th, 2008 at 3:26 pmI love it Red! Kind of a Jacob Marley style punishment for representing so proudly the party of arrogance and ignorance!
you can count on republican party racists to act like republican party racists.
it’s a fact of life.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:28 pmSo, according to RHF, Obama should apologise to Hillary for having won? And that Zooey is sexist?
WTF?
June 17th, 2008 at 3:34 pmWhat is ironic about republicans hate facts (btruthful/vvgfu), is that he/she has become the same troll that he/she used to battle so diligently.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:36 pmWho used to attack mercilessly those who were one hit wonder posters, or those who tried to derail the thread with off topic posts.
My, how times have changed.
(and just for the record, had Hillary been nominated, and the Republican convention had allowed “Life’s a b*tch, don’t vote for one” pins, I would have been equally offended)
It isn’t a fun visit unless RHF’s totally becomes unhinged and just rants absurdly while flopping about. I miss that.

Racism is all they have.
June 17th, 2008 at 3:45 pmDr, don’t you get it? Republicans think that anyone who isn’t an old white man is funny. So, they make fun of anyone who isn’t an old white man. Funny stuff, eh?
June 17th, 2008 at 3:48 pmFrom another forum:
June 17th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
The above comment is from 2007 on another forum regarding another pin from another convention. Looks like that company “Republican Market” has been making tasteless pins for a while.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:02 pmAnd the “Republican Party” has been making tasteless people for a while.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:10 pmif Obama is president maybe he’ll give texas back to mexico.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:18 pmif they still want it.
I think I hate white people more than ever … and I’m pale as a sheet.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:25 pmWhen Obama is president, we will call it the White House again — Bush has blackened the name of it since 2000.
Racism is backward, ignorant and people who still harbor those stupid beliefs are beyond redemption — that’s all they’ve got that makes them feel superior in their small world of failure.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:27 pmIt is going to get worse……..fasten your seat belts!
It just makes me sick to think of the tasteless underhanded politics that are abou to be unleashed.
“No more Republicans!”
June 17th, 2008 at 4:30 pmYou can`t get much worse than than a pack of REICH wingers together pushing RACISM, I hope all minorities in Texas here and see this crap and really understand what the REICH stands for. These people on the REICH are as unamerican as you can get, warmongering, GREED and corruption are not American values, only the REICH has these as their core values of the NEOCON dogma…..
June 17th, 2008 at 4:32 pmIt’ll be the same concept as KKK’ers hiding under a hood. None of these chickenshit racist cowards will wear one in public, but will show it off at cocktail parties.
June 17th, 2008 at 4:42 pmThat’s a broad brush that shouldn’t be used to paint any race.

Just asking.
June 17th, 2008 at 5:02 pmHow very stupid and low class.
June 17th, 2008 at 5:17 pm..I called the National Press Club and asked if it is true that Larry Sinclair has changed his name three times and been convicted of drug trafficking. They said they had no idea whether or not that was true. I said that those would be easy to prove true or false by a criminal check while it is impossible to prove that you did not do cocaine or receive a bl0w job. They hung up. I called back and asked why they hung up. They said because I was cursing. I said that that was what Larry Sinclair was supposed to speak on—that and nothing else–and that they chose him to speak on this subject and not me. They then gave me a voice mail to leave a message.
Please give a call to the National Press Club at 202-662-7500.
June 17th, 2008 at 5:48 pmAlthough I agree with much of the above, there is a side of me that would like to run the following commercial:
Scene 1 – Repug convention selling this pin. Folks laughing. Folks wearing pin.
Scene 2 – same vendor at Demo convention. How long till folks start to abrubptly give him a piece of their mind.

You know what has been even more fun to watch? All of you right-wing Republican Hillary haters wringing your hands about the poor treatment of her, and defending her against the awful Democrats who support that nasty black man.
You guys are precious.
June 17th, 2008 at 6:18 pmWas the KKK involved in designing these buttons,or marketing them ??!!
June 17th, 2008 at 6:26 pmI’m not sure if it was the KKK or another branch of the Republican party.
June 17th, 2008 at 6:28 pmHey there: Please sign this petition and let the Texas GOP know what we think about their racist pin: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/322079918?z00m=15489513
June 17th, 2008 at 6:44 pmWait – I am now hearing that this pin will only be sold as part of a set. Apparently, you now have to purchase the white hood along with it.
June 17th, 2008 at 6:59 pmTexas Republicans are famed far and wide for their courtesy and gentle manners.
June 17th, 2008 at 7:52 pmHere we go folks: The bigots united for McCain hounds are released. This will be as long and ugly summer of smear.
June 17th, 2008 at 8:07 pmAmandaBlow: You had me until you got to the colored people. What color were they?
June 17th, 2008 at 8:49 pmPersonally I think it will be called the Black House.! Obama is uneducated as far as becoming our new President goes. He has been a Senator for barely a year as he has spent the other two years campaigning. What is wrong with you people. Regardless of whether or not he is black or white, he’s an idiot and a racist one at that! You people that want him are either hispanic or black yourselves. You’re voting for him only because of this, not due to his splendid qualifications and education. You want him because he is your “Bro” You’re not kidding me none. And if you think we are going to become your slaves like what happened yrs ago, you have another thing coming. I’m not bowing down to you or Obama ! Catch this!
June 18th, 2008 at 4:25 amWhile I’m sure the button was supposed to be an attempt at racial humor I have an answer to the question that it asks. No, it won’t be called the White House any more. It will be called the Kremlin.
June 18th, 2008 at 6:56 amI think it would look good in pink.
June 18th, 2008 at 10:53 amWell, we don’t call it “The Retard House” now, do we?
June 18th, 2008 at 11:50 amRepublicans are nothing but shit with skin on it……..
June 19th, 2008 at 1:53 pmSince Bush is pResident, will there still be a White House?
June 19th, 2008 at 7:23 pmI believe this story released by the Republican Party of Texas is a fake and here’s why:
I went to the website where it was said to be sold and could not find the button. I also could not find any notice of discontinuing the button and/or a statement of apology from the company for their blatant racism.
I then did a search for the button and could not find it anywhere, only articles about it and how the Republican Party of Texas was quick to condemn such a “disgracefully insensitive button.” Since when do Republicans care about sensitivity?
I later found out that the vendor only had twelve made total, “as a joke” and only sold four, two to reporters. This leads me to believe that this is a hoax orchestrated with the intent of making a media spectacle.
And they got it.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:12 pmThose of you who feel able to withstand the “other side” of this issue, go to:
onenewsnow.com
you could sell hundreds, nay thousands, of these buttons there.
July 2nd, 2008 at 3:42 pmSo apparently most of you are against racism, but not ageism? That’s a little ironic. Someday you’ll all be old (if you live long enough) and people will say about you what you’re saying about McCain now.
There are a lot of old people who will vote Obama and otherwise vote Democrat. I wonder if the same treatment should be given to those old people. But I guess ageism doesn’t apply to Democrats.
I think it’s racist that a lot of people rarely or never acknowledge Obama’s white half. They call him “black” or “African American” when he’s really bi-racial. He may be darker than any other presidential candidate but he’s not pure genuine black.
October 29th, 2008 at 2:57 pmThis is another example that the “old world jounalism of Murrow, Cronkite and Rather is dead and buried.

Sesli Sohbet If Cheney was truly involved in 9/11 and protected in some way, then he’s being protected by what may be going on in the Caspian Sea area as well. That pre-9/11 August 10, 2000 article drives the point home to me that Cheney had a vested interest in the oil at the Caspian Sea area (before 9/11). Fx15 From all I’ve read in Schwarz’ articles, he claims the Taliban was working on a deal with Argentina with that pipeline in the Caspian Sea area and UNOCOL wanted the deal instead.
