Trade Obama Back To Kenya?
Daily Kos has a bunch of the teabaggers and their signs.

Anyone with any touch of empathy would know that those words would be offensive to President Obama, but I can imagine it would be offensive to any African-American.

It is disgusting that the woman is smiling as she poses for the picture.

I think that the media needs to start showing this and call it for what it is...ugly racism.

To talk about trading someone, with our horrible history of slavery, is just evil.

1. watch out, there is a few on DU that will attack you for saying
that something said or printed about the President is racist even if its obviously racist. so keep down the bullets might start flying.

2. Indeed. In fact you'll be accused of making EVERYTHING about
racism even when there's plenty of evidence that you do not. You'll be relegated to the ranks of "those who do not have a full or comprehensive" understanding of the issues and be told that you don't see what you think you see.

And you'll be expected to put up with disrespect and insult without returning it in full.

3. Tis o.k. I can handle my own. I used to not think it was racism.
I knew that some of the people were racists, but I used to think that it was just the (D) after his name.

Not anymore. It must be a real slap in that face that Obama became President. That gives me a good chuckle.

4. The signs I saw posted on 'Daily Kos'...
were most definitely racist. There's one where Obama is creeping up behind an old lady to steal her purse. RACIST. Another about African lions and a lyin' African. RACIST. I could go on, but won't. I'm just sick that we are still steal dealing with this shit in this day and age. I'm going to be mean because I have to say it- the people at those rallies are physically, spiritually and mentally BUTT UGLY. They are people you do not want polluting the gene pool.
