The McCain/Palin Party, Leaders in the Presidential Polls, are Racist and Morally Bankrupt with Obama Waffles


Question: What party, and only one party, would do the following, according to AP:

Activists at a conservative political forum snapped up boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap … It … plays off the old image of the pancake-mix icon Aunt Jemima, which has been widely criticized as a demeaning stereotype. Obama is portrayed with popping eyes and big, thick lips as he stares at a plate of waffles and smiles broadly.

On the back of the box, Obama is depicted in stereotypical Mexican dress, including a sombrero, above a recipe for "Open Border Fiesta Waffles" that says it can serve "4 or more illegal aliens." The recipe includes a tip:"While waiting for these zesty treats to invade your home, why not learn a foreign language?"

The box was meant as political satire. They sold it for $10 a box from a
rented booth sponsored by the lobbying arm of the Family Research Council
. "It's the ultimate political souvenir," creator and satirist Bob DeMoss told a customer.

Can you imagine laughing at something like this? Not likely. Strangely, Republicans have a derogatory style of humor, aimed squarely at hurting and dividing their targets, their families and supporters.

For John McCain, that’s change you can count on.
