Them Right-Wing Christians Loves Them Some Good Old-Fashioned Racism

When you are religious, right-wing, war loving nut, you know you are better than everybody else - after all, God loves YOU! So that makes it okay to laugh at the heathens - the folks who don't quite measure up to your standards. And a little racial humor is always funny.

From Yahoo News...

Activists at a conservative political forum Saturday were snapping up 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.

...

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 image of the classic 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.
