New Poster Reveals the Ugly Face of Racism
Real Clear Politics ^ | 11 Aug 2009

Posted on 08/11/2009 6:09:36 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Don't be misled. These new posters featuring Barack Obama's face imposed over the likeness of Tinky Winky may appear benign, but they're not. Their intent is far deeper and insidious: to stir ugly racist thoughts in America's subconscious.

I like it, although that purse kinda clashes with the purple.

“Their intent is far deeper and insidious: to stir ugly racist thoughts in America’s subconscious.”

Dressed in SEIU colors.

Obviously, it’s racist. Bush as a toad, monkey, Hitler, that was all fine.

LOL! Good article.

Expect the humor-impaired left to take it seriously.

But the purple suit looks nice with Obama’s blue lips! And Tinky Winky has smaller ears than Obama...so that’s an improvement.

Yea, ‘cause purple is so racist.

Another case of crying wolf. Playing the race card no longer works. We have a black president. We have crossed the line into a post-racial society. People are not going to cower in fear simply because someone yells racist.

Hmm. “Subconscious racism...” — don’t give the RATS ideas.

Speaking of blue lips, does does he wear blue eye shadow? It alway looks like he does.

Nobody cares about race anymore. We care about Marxist goons taking over America.

The purse goes perfectly with the outfit. Just where did you get your sense of style?

What's racist about a purple bunny suit and antennas on his head?

It's an improvement, if you ask me...
