Floppy ears smelly BO will not be elected this nov. He is a novice appeaser and it shows.
<quoted text>

He won't be elected because he's black. He is far more qualified than our current president, but he's not from an elite ultra-rich white family. The fact that Barack has come this far is amazing, given that there are still lots of ignorant people in the country that can't see this man beyond his name or color. Our country isn't ready for the incredible positive change Barack could bring.

[JCD]

You are missing the point. BO did very well with white people up until the whole hateful Rev Wright black liberation issue came out. Before this, he won Iowa which is virtually 95% white. He also smashed Hillary back in Feb on Super Tuesday. He was the race neutral candidate of change before Rev Wright. He had it made. Now after Rev Wright, he is struggling to close the deal with Hillary.

It is racial, but not what you think. White people don't want a black president who hates them. If it was not for Rev Wright, he would be our next president. Now, he is basically unelectable.

As I and my family and the rest of the World fight for our lives do to INFLATION not a recession at these times in our lives, I find it funny that even freedom of speech is in jeopardy too. These days are financially crucial for anyone to survive. The list is too long to mention of what is going up in leaps and bounds. As a forgotten Viet Nam veteran struggling to make ends meet, I now reflect why I served my country? Was it a conflict? While I was there it was a War. The Rich get Richer, the certain politicians keep lying to get in office, keep stealing money, having affairs, kick backs, and some are having same sex affairs.
Now you have three candidates running that has
engulfed every t.v. station for months.
One who attended church but wasn't listening to his questionable paster, even though he baptized his children. BELIEVE IT OR NOT?
Next a candidate who was in the thick of snipper firer, but not really, but she did forgive her husband and president at the time, which seems nice,right?
LASTLY, A MAN WHO WAS A POW IN THE VIET NAM WAR. A MAN WITH EXPERIENCE IN THE CONGRESS, BUT THEY SAY HE IS TO OLD.
So what do Americans want at the helm of a ship, candidates who lie or can't drive a motorboat instead? if we can't laugh at these trying times we would all be crying, because these times are replicating the former depression of the twenties
as each month goes by.
No matter who gets elected President, there term will be hell. And as Americans will be living a hell
thereafter as well.
There will be more violence in the streets in all major cities in the near future.
As a nation we are going Backwards.
God help us all!

[John]

You all are racist, that is unacceptable behavior. What would our forfathers think of this? HMMMM. Go get a life you fools, woe be unto you infidels!

[Lets vote again]

You asked for an example of extended rights ,,I gave you one ! live with it !

This thread is about more than a tee shirt or copyright infringement ,,look at the first post and tell me what that post is about ?

the first post makes this topic about the first amendment to the Constitution !

Freedom of Speech !

I have stood solid on equal protection , and equal rights , I see no need for one group or several groups to be divided along minority lines .

we are all Americans division by our Government is a sure way to keep us from being strong as a whole nation ,,if you can't see that then go ahead and be weak in your minority instead of strong as a people ALL PEOPLE !! no color ,no race,no division !

which is whats afforded by the Constitution ! The Government has divided the population don't you think its time that those divisions be taken away ?

But of course Im the Moron !!

I don't agree with the rest of your post, but since you willing to admit you are a moron I will accept that as an apology.
Idiot.

And this is how you view Obama right ?? in agreement with your post ,,that He will enslave and hang the white people of this country !!

Does He know that you and people like you support Him ?? I believe He does !

so He is a divider and an extremist like yourself !

I will not apologize to you or anyone else for my opinion and beliefs !!

NO TO OBAMA!!!!!

Do you suffer from multiple personality disorder?

And I'm sure you hope everyone reads "his" comments.

That would still place you in the same league as the Nazis and the KKK. MLK accomplished far more than the other groups you mentioned below. The amazing part is that he did it without violence. Your hate consumes you.

....Or the United States Government for that matter.
M.L.K. was vastly overrated, mostly by whites. They prefer that the blacks take a submissive political ideology like King. Myself, I always agreed more with the political leanings of the Black Panthers, Malcolm X or Stockley Carmichael.

Your right there & Curious George's image shouldn't have been sullied by connecting him to Obama.

Awe shucks... now I own the chimp (George) an apology.

Oh well... lets sing it folks if you know the tune..

I’m no kin to the monkey
no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me
yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree.

It seems so unbelievable,
And yet they say that it’s true,
They’re teaching us about it in school now,
That humans were monkeys once too.

Oooo I’m no kin to the monkey
no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me
yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree.

Although it’s so ridiculous,
They’re teaching us now that it’s true,
The teachers that came from a monkey,
Would be better off in a zoo.

Oooo I’m no kin to the monkey
no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me
yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree.

It seems so much more believable,
And surely, surely it’s true,
That God made Man in His image,
No monkey story will do.

Oooo I’m no kin to the monkey
no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me
yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree,

This monkey business has to go,
Because it just isn’t true,
It’s such a disgrace to the monkey,
A disgrace to the human race too.

Oooo I’m no kin to the monkey
no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me
yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,

[jimmy farter]

looks like obama and his fellow soros crybaby libs are against freedom of speech - but only when they can make fun of those they wish!

obama has more problems to worry about than looking like a damn monkey - how about his racism against Whites & jews, and his support of hamas & muslim terrorists!!!!!

Let me respond by saying you (yeah, and I meant YOU) people make me sick. I hope when Barrack gets the white house he puts all White people in slavery and see how they like it. Or for Black history month all white should be fire hosed everywhere they go, like how the hillbillies used to do the marchers.
either that or lynched.

I have yet to see any "black" people (including my friends) enslaved...or fire hosed...or lynched. Perhaps it's time (as Bill Cosby stated) for the Black Community to GROW UP! Barack holds near and dear to his black heritage...yet he was raised by his "white" mother and her family. We don't hear much or see much of them, do we?

What do you think the average "white" voter has in common with Obama? Do you think he would be representative of bubba...or usurp every precept upon which our nation was founded (warts and all). And btw....there was a significant numbers of founding Fathers that objected to slavery, yet you'll not find that in our history books.

I guess the Civil War means nothing to blacks. I guess the Civil Rights movement (of which I was an active proponent) means nothing to blacks as well....When will it ever end? Reverse racism and discrimination is alive and well in the U.S.A.

If you think "bubba" will continue to take the backlash from the era of slavery (which btw was a British concoction; read about it in your history books or google British Colonialism) then you've sorely miscalculated. I pray it doesn't come to a point where we have "race" wars in our country!

[The AmericanWay]

why anyone would insult that cute little Monkey George by saying Obama looks like him...........LOL

[cadetrv]

Where can I purchase one of those shirts? I think they are great....
The only thing is, is that I think that they are insulting the intelligence level of Curious George when comparing him to Obama.

just because tha man looks like a monkey aint no sign someone saying it is prejudice, I think he looks like a damn monkey and I aint predjudice. Whats up with you blacks always playing the race card...well I guess you have to because you shure can't spell. Whether you like it or not blacks do resemble monkeys more than whites. Well some look like apes. Why is that an issue, why bring it up? You can not stop what people think by making a big deal out of clichés. Just let it be.

Haven't you noticed some whites look like birds and horses? Barbara Walters and Jennifer Aniston are a good example...but then there's horsey face
Gayle King with her gorilla pal Oprah.

[Glenn - Michigan]

Sigh: I really thought my America was above all of this. Where was free speech when Michelle Obama said she was proud of his country for the first time? That cant be allowed but this shirt can? wow. And the comments here? Cmon, number one, why is the election of a black man bad but a white man better? Obama is not a Muslim and no agent of the black people to destroy whites. So were some of our white Presidents agents to destroy blacks. Cmon all of this is silly. When people say negative things about Jews its condemned but tolerated if it attacks Muslims. We say we are fighting for freedom and liberty and democracy, yet we attack people for different beliefs and discriminate and call each other names. This is liberty? Im not even going to touch the monkey references historically applied towards anyone of African descent. We should never tolerate putting people down. Let's remember, we elected Clinton, Bush and many others who had questionable associations. People that support David Duke, John Hagee, Rod Parsley, etc. all have seats in washington. We dont feel threatened by that but feel threatened by someone with the middle name Huissein? It's a name people. So should we stop electing people like Jeffrey, Timothy, George, Michael, Adolf, Manuel? Finally, Ive been to Obama's church and I'm white and i was treated great. It is a church filled with African American styled gospel music and Christian love (mix of white and black members). More than some of these other hateful churches that show true hate against their Jewish, Black, Brown, Native, gay and Muslim neighbours. When will we as Americans repent for our hateful ways? This is not Christ's love. Yet we have to always be proud of America yet all the hate we have in our hearts. How can we be proud of that? racists accusing each other of being racists. A sad day to be an American. "At least we know we are free" is the song lyric eh? You call this freedom? We are no better than the warring factions in Ireland, Iraq, Sudan, etc. America beware, our cancer of hate and contempt will destroy us. Stop using media excuses to mask or justify our troubled hearts.

[Jack - Virginia]

No one is talking about slavery, its how we treat each other in the here and now. The fact that we feel that using racial slurs is tolerated should make all of us concerned. Its us whites that seem to want to bring up slavery every time we try to justify ourselves in what we do. It is Like a bully calling a person he beats up overdramatic for complaining. Respect people respect. Funny we want to try to quote Cosby who cant even stay faithful to his wife. Maybe Obama is right, some whites are bitter and cling to our guns. Why is it that every other group but us whites have to grow up. I see , they all should grow up and do what we tell them to do. Laugh when we say laugh, talk when we say talk, vote when we say vote, think when we say think. If i were Black and talked down to, Id be offended too. I say all groups should be sensitive and set us 'holier than thou' whites straight. We need to be reminded that we cant sit here and talk about people any way we want with no repurcussions.
