So I'm a bit late on this one, but it was worth posting anyway.
Those Sacramento Republicans sure are a genial bunch. They've taken this down in the ensuing criticism from California Repubs including Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
However, you can still get your "Waterboard Obama" coffee mug here along with one that says "Give Al Qaeda a chance. Vote Obama."
There's also this... jerkface in Ohio...
All this makes me wonder what's going to happen if/when Barack Obama wins? I thought the Swiftboating of John Kerry was bad, but that pales in comparison, obviously. Still, I remain amazed when the Right try to act like wounded little martyrs in regards to the hate speech that's out there. I have yet to hear anyone yell "Off with his head!" when John McCain's name comes up at Obama rallies.
Bernie Sanders, my new boyfriend, was on Real Time with Bill Maher this weekend and among the many great things he said, he talked about restoring Americans' hope in America and the world's hope in America. Colin Powell discussed something similar on Meet the Press. I very much hope that no matter who wins, something akin to the restoration of our place in the world starts to happen next year.
And I don't mean our place as in we're #1 or the uprising of Sarah Palin's "Real America." I mean the return of a country where our "freedoms" actually mean something and liberty and justice really is for all (okay, so we're not quite there yet and we weren't eight years ago, either, but it's something to work for, yeah?).
