It's probably no surprise to most of you that Ben & Jerry have endorsed Barack Obama for president. To honor Senator Obama (see following article), GeorgiaDawg32 invited us to suggest new ice cream flavors that we think Ben and Jerry should issue to commemorate this auspicious occasion. See
Thanks to a number of us at FR, a list of our top 25 suggestions has been compiled and is being made available to Ben and Jerry to help them in this endeavor. Maybe you have some additions to the list?

Ben and Jerry Endorse Barack Obama for President

Burlington, VT – Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, co-founders of Ben and Jerry's, publically announced their endorsement of Barack Obama for President today. Joined by U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, the former John Edwards supporters said they believe Barack Obama is the best candidate to unite America and finally tackle the challenges facing our nation. "Barack Obama believes that the special interests in Washington shouldn't drown out the voices and basic needs of Americans," Greenfield said. "When Barack Obama is President, we will finally have a president who is committed to ensuring all Americans have access to affordable health care and our children get the education they deserve."
Senator Leahy unveiled a 60-second radio ad, entitled "Important" which he and his wife Marcelle recorded in support of Senator Obama. The ad, which will begin airing on Wednesday, February 18, stresses Obama's judgment to lead and ability to bring real change we can believe in.
Ben and Jerry, along with Senator Leahy, drove to American Flatbread in Burlington in "ObamaMobiles" which they designed to help get out the vote for Vermont's March 4th primary. Said Cohen, "The ObamaMobiles are true vehicles for change. There's a lot at stake in this election. All Vermonters need to make their voices heard and vote."

Tell which ones you think are racist.
Too funny!
I think you're mistaken.
I’m curious you consider the slang term Gubmint racist? Why is that racist? I have heard uneducated White Folks saying that word before so whats your point?
Uneducated slang terms do not a racist make.. and I think
S’more Gubmint is hugely appropriate regarding the topic.
Death By Diversity
excellent.
Negropolitan was mine. I am honored to see it in the top ten.
(Bottomless) Entitle-mint.
‘Articulate Crunch’
Very Scary Berry
How about Health Care Crunch?
Thank you, I’ll be here all week.
(Although I am apparently now a rascist for daring to use “GubMint.”)
White Chocolate Nut Fever
Maybe you don't mean the chocolate ones. Is it the negro ones? Is that what you view as racist?
Acknowledging his race (well, half of it) is not racist. No one thinks his race disqualifies him. His liberal socialist ideals are what disqualify him.
How about this: Free stolen ice cream that is a little chocolate, a little vanilla, and a lot of fat.
Taking you at your word, a few of those names still will be labeled as such by those trying to bring FR down. Sending this list to Ben & Jerry (as is) is inviting trouble. I'm referring to numbers 8, 10, and 15 specifically.
