I was talkig about what I've seen on regular conservative websites; which can still get pretty nasty, like 'Bitches for Obama'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15545356.post-62078229661358062512008-09-24T21:27:00.000+01:002008-09-24T21:27:00.000+01:00Sam, your slip is showing.

This is the worst you've seen? Come to Texas...I'll show you indecent.<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the thick-lipped Obama being chased by klansmen t-shirt "Run Obama Run"? <BR/><BR/>How about the noose with the caption "Swing State"?<BR/><BR/>Then there's the Curious George with a banana t-shirt, which I've seen in the grocery store..."Obama in '08" it says. <BR/><BR/>Nationally distributed cartoon: "Well, first off, that sign's gonna have to go." (Obama standing in front of the White House).<BR/><BR/>"The call it the White House for a reason" (on a t-shirt)<BR/><BR/>Fox News header: "Stop picking on Obama's baby mama!"<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the Obama monkey sock puppets? <BR/><BR/><BR/>I don't mean to make light of the insults directed at Palin; they are odious. But punning a slang term for the female pudendum and making sport of the murder of a presidential candidate are entirely different classes of insult.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357646598411523462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15545356.post-53261488308783176002008-09-24T11:34:00.000+01:002008-09-24T11:34:00.000+01:00*ugh* this is really a new low.
