    Because White also can mean the race that Obama isn’t!!! Ha ha ha ha ha. So funny those Republicans!

    So what, is Obama going to paint the White House blue? Then it would be the Blue House. Who knows? Black people is crazy!! Look at them with their gold chains and hip hop music.

    Will we still call it the White House? Of course we will. Why wouldn’t we? Am I missing something?

    Yes, Quaker…you’re missing the yawning void in between your ears where such clever bits of observational humor come from in the first place.

    From your headline I thought wow, maybe it was a prominent Republican at a Texas GOP convention that said something bigotted. But I followed the link and it was nothing of the sort. The outrage was that some guy was selling an un-PC button with the offending statement printed on it.

    Oh the horror!

    “The outrage was that some guy was selling an un-PC button…”

    Un-PC? That’s putting it mildly.

    So, Texas Republicans are racist enough that someone can make money selling that button?

    Stupid Texas Republicans don’t know that Warren G. Harding was a Negro.

    Literally, yes.

    Figuratively, no.

    On the plus side, here’s the text of the third button mentioned in the article:
    “I will hold my nose when I vote for McCain”

    Obama has as much “white” ancestry as he does Black. Hell, he’s Dick Cheney’s distant cousin. Guess we can’t all pass the Racial Rorschach test that is the 2008 presidential election (eh, Joe Biden)?

    Stop [virtually] speaking right now, christie.

    Things you never want to hear the rest of:
    1. “I know it’s not PC to say this, but…”

    The outrage was that some guy was selling an un-PC button with the offending statement printed on it at the Texas Republican’t Party convention. Presumably with their approval. Why, it’s almost as though they are unofficially sanctioning that sort of bigoted, race baiting, hate speech (wink. wink).

    Paging Floyd Brown…

    Ah the stupidity. The Texas GOP banned the vendor from ever selling buttons at its events and is donating the income from the rental of the booth to flood victims. Good for them.

    Now I wonder if there is anything offensive ever sold at Democratic events…?

    It’s heartening to see they are thinking in terms of an Obama victory. Keep it up, Texas GOP!

    AFTER it hit the news and made them look bad. They didn’t seem to have a problem profiting from it when they let him in to sell in the first place.
