Crazy White Supremacists-- Gasp!-- Hate Obama

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

No one, thankfully, but your offensive and indictment-worthy insult to the First Amendment is not helping.

Barack Obama, excellently code-named "Renegade" by the Secret Service, has received protection for more than ten months, according to Bloomberg, while his wife, Michelle, brilliantly code-named "Renaissance," has gotten the same coverage since the beginning of the year. We wonder if this has anything to do with bad omens like the horrible above shirt or all the white supremacist garbage online:

"Our world will become unbearable with him as President," wrote a typical poster on a white power Web site [according to Oliver Willis.] "Maybe there will be someone who would take [a] chance and do a Lincoln on him? Is that our only hope?"

This kind of hatred has got the electorate all stirred up, and we're not just talking about Doris Lessing. Oliver Willis reader James Clay Jensen responds to the KKK:

CALL ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT AND TELL ME WHEN AND WHERE. BUNCH OF FUCKIN PUSSIES.

435 752-0839

That guy's actually got the right idea. Let's tell those pieces of shit when and where: Send e-mails to the owners of Apollo Braun, sellers of the above-pictured violence-hungry sweatshirt.

Who'da thunk that The Age of The Internets and White Supremacy would collide? Shit.

I hope John McCain chooses Alan Keyes as his running mate, so the white supremacists stay home on election day.

The One thing humanity has on its side concerning most of humanity, is that most would prefer to sit on the couch, eat cheesburgers, play the lottery and talk abunch of shit on the intarnet.  It's just, easier that way.
