Racist Obama T-Shirts Big Hit With Tea Party Conventioneers

Some people tell me it’s racist, but it’s not racist — it’s political. Matter of fact, that’s how I got invited here.”

That’s how Bob Cramer, local Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Tea Party member, got invited to the Tea Party convention; he designed a t-shirt that depicts our black President as an African witch doctor, complete with a bone in his nose, and the word “Obamacare” drawn with a sickle and hammer for the letter “C.”

Bone through his nose? Nah, that’s not racist.

Bob says it’s just meant to be a statement about how he feels about President Obama’s “takeover of medicine.” It’s “political,” you see! Not racist. Not even a little!

Right.

Nothing racist about this, right?

Hey,
These nutjobs scare me. The open and blatant racism during the McCain campaign just brought all these people out into the light of day. They so freely wear their stupid shirts, hold their racist signs, and send out their racist emails. Of course they are always at gatherings that consist of all white people, like for instance the Republican convention. At least they once yet again they are on the wrong side of history.

Peace
