Totally beside the point but don't you mean the Confederate flag? Union Jack is the British flag...

I was scratching my head on that one, too. Glad I wasn't the only one!

Since when are Americans not allowed to have poor taste?

Fact is, the current president has been displayed as a chimp on this very forum, probably by some of the very members complaining about the Obomma chimp caracature. I didn;t see Obomma complaining when the same tactic was used against Bush. Why are Dimmercrats surprised when their own tactics are turned against them??
The difference between calling Obama a chimp
and calling Bush a chimp is enormous.

One is a racial slur.
The other is not.

You would need to put a picture of a slave owner on a shirt
with a bush slogan to have the same racial schism.

It is not about the chimp.
It is about the racism that is still rampant in the US.

"Brutal American Racism"!!!???? Sorry, but that is an inaccurate, inciting description of this matter, in my opinion. My wife commented that Obama looked cute like Curious George two years ago, way before Geraldine Ferraro did. And she is far from being a WASP, and doesn't have a racist bone in her body--FAR to the contrary.

I'm alittle confused here- they did the very same thing with Dubya on the last election and no one was whining back then. They did a whole Curious George cartoon thing with him.

Dee8go 05-15-2008 10:49 AM
Well, Dubya is a cracker . . . oops!

Gurkha 05-15-2008 10:57 AM
Bad as it sounds, it just bought Obama some more votes and free publicity.

If you think this matter is about a guy who put out the shirt because he was thinking that “Obama looked cute like Curious George”.... Fine.... You go with that. :rolleyes:

I've seen brutal American racism in person in the form of a 19 yo black boy hanging from a noose in his grandfather's carport, because he was dating a white girl. You want to compare a god damn tee shirt to that as being in the same league, fine....you go with that:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Stir it up and leave--yep, sounds like I got the gender right.
