Lou Dobbs says about racist "Obama Waffles", "My wife will love this!"

[npincus]

CNN's Lou Dobbs stopped by the booth and exclaimed, "My wife will love this!"

For real.

Lou Dobbs photo/story scrubbed from Obama Waffles site

Hmmm...why would the page on the Obama Waffles site linked above suddenly get pulled? After all, Lou Dobbs, a speaker at the Values Voter Summit, stopped by the vendor table to give a slamming endorsement of the product; it depicts Barack Obama as a Muslim bug-eyed Aunt Jemima. The photo, as you can see, shows an approving Dobbs with a box of the mix in his hand.

For those of you who may have missed yesterday's post, Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, two aspiring Klansmen writers from Tennessee set up a booth sponsored by Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council to sell the Obama Waffles, asserting it was "political satire."

After Think Progress covered this story, the page was yanked from the ObamaWaffles web site, and FRC issued a feeble press release trying to distance itself from the product, claiming it didn't vet the vendor's product and didn't realize the boxes on display were "offensive material."

Below the fold is video of the vendors smiling and enjoying brisk sales before FRC realized this was bad PR for the professional "Christian" organization.

1. This is a dupe. You should remove this

[npincus]

2. No, perhaps some are reading this for the first time

that did not see the other; it wouldn't be the first time that happened on this board! I found this one on Google, not on The DU.

Dobbs is a disgrace, and the more that read about his endorsement of this offensive crap, the better.

4. You are right I hadn't seen this and thanks for posting. A dupe is not that critical

Some people worry too much. We should always try to avoid dupes but there are more important things to worry about I think.

6. I am just reading it now.

Why doesn't Lou just come out of the closet. He is a 'race' man, the white race. Just be honest

about it.

[catgirl]

14. This has been all over DU by "concern trolls"

to disatract from the real issues. Who gives a shit about Dobbs at this point? Everyone
knows he's a blatant racist. Let's look at the real issues and stop replaying the troll
threads over and over and over and over...............

But you know all this already. Good night..

[catgirl]

15. What, do you google racist things to spread against Obama?

Give me a transparent fucking-break. Okay? You Googler, you. Aren't you
clever (NOT).

[EV_Ares]

3. Maybe it is a dupe but I didn't see the other one.

[sniffa]

10. My first time seeing it

I'm glad it was posted.

21. Dupes are permissable in GD/P and GD, just not in LBN. nt

5. I regret that Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Reilly are on "The Big Vacation" = their egos have taken over.

7. Oh, hell no. It doesn't STOP there. One of the forum sponsors was Focus on the Family ACTION -

to protect Focus on the Family's tax exempt status. This group still represents the views espoused by Dobson. This needs to be brought before the right wing fundies, imo. More ppl would recognize the "Focus on the Family" brand than the Family Research Council.

8. Fuck Lou Dobbs. I wonder how many times I have posted

Fuck Lou Dobbs here? Pretty many.

[1Hippiechick]

9. LOL. Get a rubber stamp. How many times have I posted "The high road doesn't win elections."

19. lou dobbs needs to be held accountable for this.

..there is a political musical video with his picture and wolf blitzer's on the media letting us Down..among many other brilliant images to fit the lyrics!

It's a killer video and needs to be played on KO and or Rachel's.

11. So Lou's wife must be as charming as he is.

[skids]

12. Someone should make a youtube...

...saying "we tried to bring a McCain food product to market. But we ran into a little problem.

Nobody wanted to buy anything that was past it's sell-by date."

..end with a picture of McCain getting stamped with "Sell by 2000" on his forehead.

13. I think this is just outrageous, and unacceptable.

The whole thing, the waffles, the selling of them, and everything.

[texasleo]

16. douche

[MattP]

17. He should be fired from CNN for being a blatant racist pig wose than Imus

This is way worse to me than the Imus thing, this guy claims to be Mr. Independent and CNN is supposed to be the most trusted name in news. Everybody should email this picture to them and to Kieth and Rachel and ask what kind of trust do they deserve?

[Lord Helmet]

18. Dobbs is a racist prick

20. Married to a Mexican? /nt
