Another Milepost On The Road To Oblivion

Yep, getting closer to the seminal Blazing Saddles moment in our national post-racial discourse involving President Obama.  Wonkette:

John Hood, president of the conservative North Carolina-based John Locke Foundation, has apologized for a very special graphic that one of his bloggers, “Hot Talk WRNN co-host Tara Servatius,” included in her post for the think tank’s blog this week. What is the controversy? All it did was show “President Obama in chains and drag with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.” What is the controversy? Everyone loves Kentucky Fried Chicken! And look, Tara Servatius says she “didn’t think about the racial implications of the picture when I posted it. I simply don’t think in those terms.” She’s a fun one.


In an exchange with Myrtle Beach’s The Sun News, Servatius explains that her graphic of President Obama in chains and drag eating a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken “was meant to illustrate Obama’s southern political strategy, nothing more.”

No.  Just no no no no no.  Hell no.  Between this and the ni-CLANG Pants, I really want to punch the organs out of the next person who says I need to get over race in 2012.

It's President Obama in leather fetish gear, eating a bucket of KFC.  If you don't think THAT'S offensive, you're lying.  You posted the damn thing on purpose.  Congratulations, you pissed people off.  You win.  You know what's going to piss you off even more?  Obama winning in November despite all your awful, sick, lousy efforts to troll the electorate.

Deal with that.
