It looks to me like nothing more than the use of word play to connect the election to a racially-based sexual stereotype. It certainly isn't anything to get worked up about.

MLK wanted people to be judged by their character not their skin color.. problem is many democrats don't know what character is.

Much way more recent that 150 years ago......

In the 1960's it was Democrats that tried to stop Blacks from attending schools.

In the 1960's it was a Republican named Nixon who passed the most Civil Rights laws.

It was only a few years ago that Robert Byrd, Democrat of West Virginia, and a card carrying member of the KKK, died while still serving in Congress.

Why don't you stop talking about MLK like you admire him when we all know that if he was still alive you would be calling him a race-baiting welfare case.

I would suggest that the vendor was an independent business person. One who thought that given the demographics, that particular phrase might be a good seller. They were probably right. Do you dislike them for being successful?

Except that if Republicans passed out buttons that said "Vote Right - Vote White" you and the entire media would rightfully be OUTRAGED.

Liberals are the worst type of hypocrites...they actually believe the bile they spew.

so how many more times do we have to tell you that the republicans of yesterday are the democrats of today. You keep trying to point to the CRA voting and we keep saying its not the same as it is today.

The Supreme Court already ruled that Voter ID Laws are perfectly Constitutional (and by a 6-3 opinion which means a Liberal had to vote with the majority).

And why would Republicans want to change history books about slavery? They have NOTHING to be ashamed of while Democrats actually DO.
