Double-Whammy

Obama Racism/Muslim/Unpatriotic/Scary Black Dude Watch Part Forty-Three and Clinton Sexism Watch Part Ninety-One.


Wham:



Bam:


Fuck you, ma'am Mike Norman, owner of Mulligan's Bar and Grill in Marietta, GA, who calls the Curious George t-shirts he's hawking "cute" and the bar sign he ran in December wishing Hillary had married OJ just "saying out loud what everyone in this town whispers."

Norman also says it's "just a coincidence" that the character he chose for the Obama t-shirt is a monkey. It just so happens that Obama looks like Curious George, that's all! Three…two…one… "Norman said those offended are 'hunting for a reason to be mad' and insisted he is 'not a racist'." Bingo!



This horseshit is eerily familiar to item #27 on the Obama RMUSBD Watch, in which a caller into Rush Limbaugh's show said that her 12-year-old daughter thinks that Obama looks like Curious George—and, as I explained then, the difference between comparing George Bush to a chimp and Barack Obama to a chimp is that there is not the same racial history of marginalizing whites by comparing them to monkeys. There's that whole owning the context thing again.

It's also eerily familiar to multiple items on the Clinton Sexism Watch, in which various people have made "hilarious jokes" about how Clinton should be brutally murdered.

Gee, this has been a fun campaign season!
