Racism in America? Still doesn’t exist anymore. Still ended circa 1968. This must be the product of a big misunderstanding:
A family who had supported Barack Obama’s presidential campaign emerged from their home in the northwestern New Jersey town of Hardwick Thursday morning to find the charred remnants of a 6-foot wooden cross on their front lawn.
Pieces of a homemade bedsheet banner reading “President Obama , Victory ’08,” which had been stolen from the yard the night before, also were found, leading investigators to believe the banner had been wrapped around the cross before it was set afire.
Jumping to conclusions, the homeowner plays the race card in a blatant attempt to use Nazistalinist tactics to silence dissent. Socialism in America, my friends.
Grewal said his 8-year-old daughter, Arianna, spotted the banner wrapped around the burnt cross as they walked toward their car to drive to school.
“She saw it, that’s what bothered me the most,” Grewal said Thursday. “You can imagine the types of questions she was asking. It was very tough to explain.”
Oh no he didn’t just hide behind his kid! Or mention her out of heartfelt concern. Either way, the 8 year old is fair game. We’ve got some countertops to investigage. Cry havoc, and let slip the Davids of war!

You guys are damping the KKK’s 1st amendment freedom of screech rights.
And remember, the struggle to end disparaging racism is the War on the N-word.

Oh, COME ON. Doesn’t seem totally obvious that these libbers burned the cross themselves to get the coverage and sympathy?
You notice that the guy is driving his kids to school. I’m sure he’s not driving to work later. Look who he voted for.
In other news, carving a backwards B into your face is like, totally patriotic.

It’s a good thing that we’ve probably seen the last of this kind of incident though.

What used to be a thousand points of light are now merely the reliable pilot burners for a long slow elephant barbecue a’ boucanier.
Yar, mates.

Someone should check the kerning on that banner.

“Someone should check the kerning on that banner.”
That must have been an example of lib-fascist subtle deviousness, i.e., I don’t get it.
Ipso facto, you’re a commie too.
Bailiff! Shave his sideburns! And keep him away from those temple pillars!

What we really need is backwards B stick ons…
November 7, 2008 at 6:27 pm
how ’bout backwards “o”‘s??
November 7, 2008 at 7:19 pm
I thought that was it.
But it’s really upside down?
November 7, 2008 at 7:20 pm
This was clearly the work of crazed Negroes and/or communists (ACORN) attempting to intimidate white Republicans (the most oppressed people in America today) into political correctness. I hope William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright can account for there whereabouts on the night in question.
Yet more proof that it is Liberals who are the true racists.

Obama/lolcat mashup

Communist acorns? I voted for that “nicely suntanned” guy, not some fey dutch elm disease.
Btw, my car needs an oil change. I assume that’s part of the first 100 days package.
November 7, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Forty oil changes and a Datsun!

Meh. The president is black. All these displays of white supremacy have lost their power. They have been made something even less than irrelevant: silly.

You DO know that sales in gunshops are up, right?
That’s really reassuring.
November 8, 2008 at 10:45 am
Since at least last summer, a local gunshop/shooting arcade has had this promo sign:
ARMAGEDDON IS COMING! GET YOUR GUNS NOW!

You see, I was getting worried that, with the election and all, I might no longer have use for the Editors deep black humor and snark to cheer me up. SifuTweety’s silliness though. maybe.
I was afraid this site might collapse of its own irrelevance, like Joe Liberman’s jowls.
But I am heartened by the rightwingers pluck and courage to selflessly continue, to bear the torch, bring the Ring to the Fire, trod the frozen tundra, plod the Long March, dive the Great Muff….

oh yeah and curv3ball’s a plucky lad, too.
And that guy who does the posts like he’s an old friend of Obama’s back from his Indonesia days? He’s great too. Writes like a profi.
November 8, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Yeah, this whole “incident” seems “suspicious”.
Could it be that this guy, in the excitment of electing a socialist muslim radical commie funamentalist extremist, got a little carried away with that super neat-o grill that he liberated from a conservo-blogger under cover of a major storm?
Then cry to the media, of course. Next we’ll hear how some scary old dude carved an “M” on his face but got it backwards!
Sounds like this guy needs a visit from the Konservative Kountertop Kommandos to check out the situation.
The call goes out from the Malkin-cave: THUNDERTARDS ARE GO!!!2!!

What’s going on in the gun shops is just another proof of P. T. Barnum’s Theorem. You heard the same shit before Clinton got elected, each time. All that happened was that a lot of guns and ammo got sold. This time around, the same gloom-n-doom. And lots of guns and ammo are getting sold.
If only that meant that the prices on ammo were coming down. Fucking Iraq war.
In other news, you guys all missed the memo on the latest KKK Jargon: it’s not cross burning, it’s cross lighting. There, see? All better.
November 8, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Yay! Another child to stalk!

Racism never existed: it was just a ploy to get the sympathy vote.
