Posters portraying President Obama as a witch doctor may be racist, organizers of Tea Party protests say, but they reflect anger about where he is leading the country.
The posters, showing Obama wearing a feather headdress and a bone through his nose, have recently popped up in e-mails, on Web sites and at Tea Party protests.
The image has stoked debate and cast attention on the rallies, which have drawn people Tea Party organizers describe as on the fringe and not representative of the overall movement. Their general viewpoint, leaders say, is that there's been too much federal government intervention, particularly concerning health care and taxes.
The witch doctor imagery is blatantly racist, critics contend.
Others remind that presidents get made fun off all the time, and the election of a black president has only made racially charged political satire more sensitive.

Satire.
And funny at that
Sooooo how’s that ACORN coverage coming, CNN?
Breathlessly awaiting you report...any time now.
I guess CNN really wants to declare all out Race War and destroy any sense of civility in our country.

Maybe we could call it “voodoo economics.”
Just the truth.
“The grand Kleagle says its racist, so its racist.”
Good job photo-shopping out Sen. Byrd.
He is seen here in native Kenyan garb in a rare shot recently discovered in a White House burn bag that somehow escaped the newly installed White House diesel powered, water-cooled Acme 3000 Super Shredder. It was sent to us by a former White House shredder tender (who wished to remain anonymous -- and hasn't been heard from for over 2 months!).
And if you are offended by this photo, TOO BAD! Obama is, after all, a disciple of Saul Alinsky who advised his friends in Obama's favorite book, "Rules for Radicals" (subtitled "Dirty Tricks by The Left are Just Good Politics"), that RIDICULE is a potent and effective weapon.
There ya' go!!
It cracked me up.
nuff said.
I should add though, of course I’m not a selectively sensitive hypocritical ninny.
It's just soooo widespread and all...
Since when did native dress become racial?
Since it isn't HIS native dress.
You’ve probably seen the San Francisco area protesters featured at Zombietime.com. If anyone is interested in vile and obscene directed at Christians, the right, and President Bush, it’s all catalogued there.
I see Obama as Attila, not a Witch Doctor. It takes brains to bamboozle the sheeple.
