There's nothing like showing off your true political colors with a bumper sticker or a button to pin on your shirt. I've collected quite a few over the years, ranging from the ordinary "Kerry/Edwards" to slightly more creative messages that can fit on a 2" button. Though I could not fathom putting on something that would disparage the other side based on their race. That unfortunately is what one Republican outfit in Texas has decided to do.
From ThinkProgress:
A booth at this weekend’s Texas Republican convention sold buttons asking, “If Obama Is President…Will We Still Call It The White House?”:
The company that makes the buttons boasts providing “Patriotic and Republican Products.” Another button they sell features a picture of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), with the phrase: “Life’s a b**ch, don’t vote for one.” (HT: AmericaBlog)
There is nothing funny about this nor patriotic. Perhaps the company should change their name to "Bigoted, Racist Republicans and Proud of it."
