‘Obama Waffles’ featuring racist, stereotyped images sold at Values Voter Summit.»

At the Values Voter Summit this weekend, vendors sold an item called “Obama Waffles” featuring a racist cartoon of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) on the box front — with “popping eyes and big, thick lips” — and another image of him wearing an Arab-like headdress on its top flap. Its creators, Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, said it was meant as “political satire,” and sold the box for $10 from a booth at the Family Research Council event. CNN’s Lou Dobbs stopped by the booth and exclaimed, “My wife will love this!” A photo shows Dobbs with a box of the mix in his hand.

1. That really just made me sick. My father was born in 1924

and he would tell us about the things that when on while he was growing up. To see this sort of garbage now is amazing. This country has a long way to go. There are some really sick people in this world. Really Really Sick.
