I saw it now. That is absolutely horrifying - such displays are irrefutable evidence that "old" views about Americans of color are still in existence. Watermelon? Fried chicken? BBQ ribs? And putting Obama's face on a cartoon donkey (granted, the "mascot animal" of the Democratic Party)?

Other than the "Waterboard Barack 0bama" bit (which I throw under the bus), the rest are hilarious.
Hugo Chavez, Jane Fonda, Hamas are all voicing support for Barack 0bama: NOBAMA
The only difference between 0bama and 0sama is 'b' and 's'
"For the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country" - Michelle 0bama VOTE ANYBODY BUT 0BAMA
HEY 0BAMA! Want to see BITTER? (next to a picture of angry Michelle)
I have another one to add: What do 0bama and 0sama have in common? They are both friends with people who have bombed America!

Yes and what you posted was too. I think the chair of that organization removed the image finally, he said the same thing the woman said about the food stamp image, he didn't see anything wrong with it... yeah right and this is the "so-called" party of morals and family values, the "so-called Christian" party... yeah, ok...

I would have like the Food Stamp parody better if they had left off the image of Obama and put in one of "Curious George".
Thanks

Well something need to be done to get Obama to answer questions and to tell the truth.
The use of the word "Waterboarding" was not menat to indicate torture, but an increase of pressure to get him to speak to certain issues truthfully.
The tree-hugging, toad-licking, kool-aid drinking libs need to get over themselves.
Thanks

As for getting over oneself, I wonder why senior officials of the California GOP were offended by this - starting with that state's own governor.
And if the Sacramento GOP wanted to press the issue about Obama answering questions, was it really above and beyond them to utilize more respectful, even if assertive or even aggressive, means, rather than using a term which is universally identified with and defined as TORTURE?

Great stuff, but I'm curious what happened to the freedom of speech? I guess that only applies to those that despise America.

So you think a picture depicting torture is the way to go... wow. And what about McCain, he hasn't been very honest either, or is that something you'de rather overlook and just focus everything on Obama. McCain needs to answer questions and tell the truth himself.

Personally, I have no problem saying these sort of statements are out of line, and suggesting, even satirically, that a Presidential candidate should be tortured goes way over the line, and I condemn it in no uncertain terms.
But I can just never figure out where the left is when anti-Palin and anti-McCain folks say equally disgusting things. They seem to have very selective outrage, and so there outrage over this incident seems like artifice.

Shame on them. I find Republicans suggesting that Obama be tortured just as repulsive as I find Democrats suggesting that Palin be gang raped. I'm glad someone got some sense and took it down.

That's true, what that lady said was uncalled for, and anyone saying and drawing anthing offensive is uncalled for. However what I think RichLp was getting at is yes, all that is wrong and offensive, but it was sponsored/ endorsed by the GOP which makes it a bit different (though it's wrong) than the gang rape comment, because it wasn't endorsed by the Democratic party. I agree though, it's all wrong nonetheless.

A LOCAL BRANCH (Sacramento) of the Republican Party. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, the governor of California, did not approve of that hideous depiction of Obama being a mere "S" apart from Osama, let alone of the call to employ waterboarding torture on Obama.
As for the rape thing - I only found out today thanks to this thread. That woman (the comedian) who said it... I had never even heard of her. And frankly, what she wasn't not only wasn't funny, it was despicable... joking about gang rape, about a mother???

It was sponsored/endorsed by apparently some rather misguided people at a single local branch office of the GOP. Not by the entire GOP. And it was taken down immediately. Do I think whoever is responsible should probably be removed from the position of authority by which they managed to do this? Yes. But, don't blame it on the entire GOP, because that's really inaccurate.

Why can't people on both sides just stick to the issues without all the vicious name calling?

Because it was in their political self-interest to do so...

Frankly given some of the views of Mr Obama the idea of torture isn't all that unfounded since he sponsor it for the unborn. Very fitting in my opinion...

Q: Senator Obama, should it be legal to stab a baby during birth and suck her brains out?
A: Absolutely!
Q: Senator Obama, should it be legal to decapitate an unborn child?
A: It's a constitutional right.
Q: Senator Obama, should it be legal to grasp a child in the womb by her abdomen and disembowel her?
A: Of course, after all, it isn't a person.
Q: Senator Obama, should it be legal to grasp an unborn girl by the hip and tear her limb, buttock, sexual organs and lower bowel off?
A: She isn't human.
If Obama and other abortion rights defenders had the courage to speak in plain language, this is how it would sound. Torture is a liberal big business.

RC I hope this is just sarcasm, that surely no christian would advocate torturing anyone. I find the meanness of both left and right pundits to be in very poor taste at best. Heck, I find meanness in general to be in poor taste.
How do any of y'all think Jesus views all of this?

They advocate domestic terrorism (wrecking the economy doesn't count) and can be blamed for all disasters both political, financial and natural! Jesus says in the Gospel of Matthew that he'll separate the Republicans from the Democrats at the end! OK, so it was sheep and goats, but everyone knows it was "code" for Republicans and Democrats!
