WASHINGTON - Activists at a conservative political forum snapped 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.

Why does everyone else have the great ideas except me?!
Aunt Obama?
I'm offended by their offense.
A really dumb, dumb move on their part. Not helping the conservative cause and just not right.
I found it offensive. Let the Libs do crap like this. They are already doing this with the sexism with Sarah.
It really was a caricature that is beneath us and here we are trying to erase the Mis information about how conservatists are racist, when we aren’t.
Is that a racial sterotype or a caricature, like someone might draw of Palin or McCain or Bill Clinton in an editorial cartoon? It looks more caricature than stereotype. It is “racial” only in that he is part black. They could not very well color him white.
The article didn’t show the top panel with the “muslim head-dress.”
If you really don’t get it....after years of actual racial stereotyping...you just don’t get it.
this stuff doesn’t help us!
I totally agree with you.
We should be above that sort of thing.
Just because the libs have no scruples is no reason for us to follow suit and enforce the stereotypes they try to perpetuate with regard to conservatives.
Heh. Watch for the few that were sold to show up on Ebay with big prices.
I’d personally love to own one.
AP: more offensive than Michelle’s failure to attend the 911 services?
Where was your outrage on that?
How about Aunt Michelle.
If this continues, John McCain is sure to lose the black vote come November.
I’d buy a box but wouldn’t eat it that’s for sure.
After all, if Aunt Jemima can do it, Barrack Hussein Obama can do it. :)
They just have a picture of the front of the box at the link.
Actually, it’s an improvement on how Obama usually looks.
Just a waffle box with a caricature of Obama.
Political cartoons slamming Republicans are often much worse.
And it’s not like mocking a crippled war hero for not having full use of his arms or anything...
The media is stuck in hyperbolic ,hair on fire mode trying to save Barry.
It’s not a good caricature. Obama has very narrow eyes, thin lips, and a pointy chin.
This could have been done better.
