  Political Bigotry or Political Satire? Obama Waffles and Bigots
  

  African American Political Pundit says: Here we go again, the right wing bloggers, conservative blogs,  right wing bigots, bloggers with a flare for stupidity, and right wing McCain supporters are coming out with their KKK sheets on. Expect more racism and bigorty in the next 6 weeks folks. There are still a number of ignorant people in America both black and white. Soon the Black Republican's will be coming out with this type of garbage. At least some bloggers can see the hate coming out of Mark and Bob bigots, who created the mix at the Values Voter Summit sponsored by the lobbying arm of the Family Research Council.  I bet you McCain and Palin have a few boxes in their kitchen's now. mccain will have to get sets of seven for his 7 houses.

   

  Yes, the right wing political bigots at a conservative political forum today were snapping 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.
