Christo-Fascists Sell Racist "Obama Waffles"

"Values Voters" Forum Sells Racist "Obama Waffles"

A box of Obama Waffles is seen in Washington, Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008. A vendor at a conservative political forum was selling boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap. The product was meant as political satire, said Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, two writers from Franklin, Tenn., who created the mix and sold it for $10 a box at the Values Voter Summit sponsored by the lobbying arm of the Family Research Council.

While Obama Waffles takes aim at Obama's politics by poking fun at his public remarks and positions on issues, it also plays off the old image of the pancake-mix icon Aunt Jemima, which has been widely criticized as a demeaning stereotype. Obama is portrayed with popping eyes and big, thick lips as he stares at a plate of waffles and smiles broadly.

Placing Obama in Arab-like headdress recalls the false rumor that he is a follower of Islam, though he is actually a Christian.

On the back of the box, Obama is depicted in stereotypical Mexican dress, including a sombrero, above a recipe for "Open Border Fiesta Waffles" that says it can serve "4 or more illegal aliens." The recipe includes a tip: "While waiting for these zesty treats to invade your home, why not learn a foreign language?"

Republican "family Values" defenders Newt Gingrich and Matt Romney were among the prominent conservatives who spoke at the right-wing political conference.

Happy Independence Day: Jesse Helms is Dead!

Happy Independence Day! Jesse Helms is Dead Finally

Bigot Jesse Helms is Dead!

The right-wing, racist, homophobic, BIGOT, who celebrated the oppression of gay people and opposed AIDS funding in the U.S., is finally dead!
Even though I am an atheist, I hope there is a hell for Hitler, Jerry Falwell and Jesse Helms. I hope he is feeling the heat.
R.I.H Jesse Helms!

Racist,, Homophobe Jesse Helms is Dead

Joe My God has some nice quotes to remember Dead Jesse:

- On threatening the life of a sitting president: "Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He'd better have a bodyguard."

- On gays and AIDS: “It's their deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct that is responsible for the disease”

- On equality: "I've been portrayed as a caveman by some. That's not true. I'm a conservative progressive, and that means I think all men are equal, be they slants, beaners, or niggers."

- On education: "Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade-school classes that teach our children that cannibalism, wife-swapping and murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior."

- On civil rights: "The Negro cannot count forever on the kind of restraint that's thus far left him free to clog the streets, disrupt traffic, and interfere with other men's rights."

- On journalists: "The New York Times and Washington Post are both infested with homosexuals themselves. Just about every person down there is a homosexual or lesbian."

- On the Duke University students upset by Martin Luther King's assassination: "They should ask their parents if it would be all right for their son or daughter to marry a Negro."

Unfortunately, Jesse Helms helped his pal Ronnie Reagan remake the Republican Party into a neo-fascist party for racist, homophobic bigots, and to some degree moved the U.S. further to the brink of fascism. Helms may be dead, but his racist, homophobic, Christo-fascism is alive and well.

Too Bad that Jesse won't live to see the First Black President

And to help celebrate the death of another Fascist on this 4th of July, here's Woody Guthrie singing the TRUE national anthem, THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (he wrote on his guitar, "this machine kills fascists!")
