Obama Waffles

[Lunar]

except the racism:


He's in a turban, he has inflated lips, and next to a Wright image?

You think Obama, with exaggerated "black" features, in a Turban next to Reverend Wright isn't racist?

What do they need to do, advocate his lynching on the box?

[Lunar]

By the way, the box also says "Point towards Mecca for tastier waffles"

You seem a lot more ready to cry sexism for Palin than racism for Obama.  By five orders of magnitude, actually

I understand that this is all in good jest, but the waffle box has a cynical backside to it that I think decreases its hilarity.

Obama deserves every bit of what he gets, to be fair. Actually, I'm getting to the point where I hope the Bradley effect is real, if anything just to keep him out of office because of his ideology.

That's like hoping there's a terrorist attack so that McCain can win.

The exaggerated black features aren't really the problem - I mean, how can you exaggerate Obama's features without being racist?  I mean, Kerry had an oval face, that's fine.  Obama has big ears, that's fine.

It's really the mecca/turban/wright combination that slightly crosses the threshold of the racism line, especially because it's designed to be an attack on Obama and not an SNL skit.

Eh, whatever.  I'm just pointing out the racial tensions in this, plenty of others, from Drudge on the right to TPM have as well.
