So, many in the Left-O-Sphere are all in a tizzy over this
Well, if true, I can’t blame them. Of course, let’s consider that the Left thinks it is the height of debonaire society to discuss assassinating the President of the United States and viewing racist cartoons about Condi Rice.
The story started at the Trail Blazers blog, part of the Dallas Morning News. Christy Hoppe, the writer of the article, claims that the button was featured at a booth run by Republican Market at the Republican state convention (the button is not on their website, BTW). But, here’s the question: where is the proof? Did no one have a camera with them? Most reporters seem to carry Blackberry’s nowadays, most with cameras. Hell, you would think the reporter, or someone, would take a picture with their regular phone.
All we have is the say so of Christy Hoppe. She was not writing an opinion piece, but a hard news story for a major Dallas news source. Yet, we have nothing to go on but her say so. Can she provide any coberating evidence? When the Michelle Obama “Whitey” tape was being pushed by Larry Johnson, most conservatives said “show it too me. We want the proof.” Not liberals, though. So many are buying it hook, line, and sinker.
Meanwhile, take a look at some of the nasty comments at the post. They remind me of what radical Islamists say “don’t say we are a religion of violence, or we’ll kill you.” In this case, they remind us how mean and evil Republicans are, then smear them (BTW, the comment I left asking for proof was never allowed at the site)
- I guess we know who’s getting the douchebag vote.
- Some of my countrymen are just too dumb to live!
- Can we get rid of the south already? Racist white trash wasteland. I’m tired of them and their redneck presidents. One being a self absorbed douchebag and another a bubbling redneck with a pea sized brain.
- yet another tasteless, racial comment from repugnicans…..why am i not surprised?!?!?
You can see more unhinged comments at Marc Ambinder’s place, BRADblog, AMERICAblog, and so many others. Check Memeorandum.
But, here’s a good idea: take a copy of that photo, then open in up in you photo software, such as Photoshop or Digital Imaging 10 (which is what I usually use.) Now blow it up about 500-600%. Check the W’s. Do they match the lighting?
That’s the White in White House. The shadow to the left doesn’t match.
Show me the proof it’s real.
Outside The Beltway has some choice quotes from the Left.
Oh, BTW, there is always one of the fun petitions from the Left up.
