Shouldn't that be "Inbred Republicans"?
No wonder the Republican Party doesn't attract minorities...and no wonder so many decent and fair-minded Republicans are abandoning the party to vote for Obama this year.
The negative campaigning of the Republican Party just took another turn for the worst...resorting to racist acts to paint Barack Obama as a no-good, stereotypical black man.
So sad and disturbing on so many levels.
"The latest newsletter by an Inland Republican women's group depicts Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken, prompting outrage in political circles. The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated says if Obama is elected his image will appear on food stamps -- instead of dollar bills like other presidents. The statement is followed by an illustration of "Obama Bucks" -- a phony $10 bill featuring Obama's face on a donkey's body, labeled "United States Food Stamps." [..]"
Can't get any more blatantly racist than that, reinforcing the negative stereotypes of black folks...that they're all on welfare and use food stamps.
Where's the RNC? If the national party does not want to be thought of as a haven for bigots, they need to come out publicly to condemn this crap...come down like a ton of bricks on the racist who thought this up.
But I won't hold my breath...they don't want to upset their base, who eat this racist crap up. Remember the Obama Waffles I wrote about? Sold at a Republican forum where Newt Gingrich spoke? The box played off the old demeaning stereotype of Aunt Jemima. Obama is portrayed with popping eyes and big, thick lips as he stares at a plate of waffles and smiles broadly.
And they can stuff their apologies. Some Republicans have a way of saying the vilest things and then being all cutesy about it, apologizing for whatever has already done immense damage. The "apology" is supposed to absolve them of their bigotry, hatred, and disgusting lack of manners. Their model for this behavior comes straight out of Karl Rove's "play book"...
