Conservative Activist Forwards Racist Pic Showing Obama As Witch Doctor
Source: Talking Points Memo

The election of our first black president has brought with it a strange proliferation of online racism among conservatives.

And we've got the latest example.

On Sunday night, Dr. David McKalip forwarded to fellow members of a Google listserv affiliated with the Tea Party movement the image below. Above it, he wrote: "Funny stuff."

I just hope someone somewhere is keeping a database with photos of all this stuff. We're getting enough ammunition to make sure that minorities never again cast a vote for these guys in our lifetimes.

1. he did a virtual town hall with MY reps.
Oh I have some calls to make today. May even print out that disgusting photo and take it down to their offices, for a face-to-face explanation as to WHY they are even affiliated with such a racist pig.

:grr:

2. the Republicans have cornered the market on bigotry
well, just about... it seems as if bigots more likely gravitate towards the GOP.

8. I was simply pointing out an existing, active thread
on the same subject. I'm not arguing with you. Perhaps people would like to visit the other thread, where, along with other information, the email address of the person who did this is posted.

6. Ain't it amazing! I guess a little brown in the WH is all that's needed to
"smoke 'em out of their holes." I guess the watermelon patch on the front lawn was simply an opening salvo.

I can't wait until the first woman president is elected--you know we'll hear all sorts of invective from the fools who just can't handle it.

7. What I find alarming and truly frightening
about these bigots is how comfortable they are w/ their racism. It fits them like a second skin. Very disturbing.

9. someone I know posted this crap on our scooter forum
I called it racist, and he said I was being PC and censoring him. I hate having to explain to morans that the same freedoms which allow them to be "non-PC" allow me to call them racist assholes. I am not trying to take away his freedoms, but I am going to call him out on BS.

And of course, they still never get it.

10. At least their true colors are showing.
I just can't believe anyone would do something so just plain stupid. Especially after all the backlash toward the other nincompoops who done the same thing.

These people never, ever learn.

14. I love it when they whine about always being called racists
As well as never seeming to figure out how the internet works.
