Presidential Politics / Woods GOP Yuks It Up Over 'Obama Waffles'
Posted by Jeff Woods on Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 8:58 AM
Bill Hobbs, a spokesman for the Tennessee Republican Party, said the Obama Waffles are an example of grassroots supporters getting involved in the political process. “Candidates, campaigns and parties aren't responsible for the actions and messages of every single freelancer from the grassroots and should not be subjected to constant calls to denounce, defend or explain the actions of freelancers,” he said. Mr. Hobbs said the party did not have a stance on whether the Obama Waffles were offensive. He did say that Sen. Obama and his supporters are “hyper-sensitive to criticism of ‘The One’ and will label almost any criticism of him ‘racist,’ even if it isn’t.” Brett Hale, vice chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, said he had heard about the novelty item but had not seen pictures. He said critics are overreacting. “People are reading into things so much nowadays,” he said. “It’s too bad we have to be so politically correct.”h/t Kleinheider.

This is funny coming from Woods - who knowingly posted a fake picture of Palin in a bikini holding a gun.

What do photoshopped pictures of Palin have to do with Bill Hobbs being a racist?
Did Woods make up the fact that Palin believes in "End Times" theology? Please tell me that was a joke too.
I'm glad all you rational people are finally relaxing about offensive materials and actions. Cause I got a Bible Burning today in the Lifeway parking lot and I don't want no trouble...
Now by God this is nothing but blatant, bald-faced racism! Not to mention religious bigotry.
Intolerable!
I'm going to report everybody in both Franklin and Chattanooga, along with Steve Gill and you too Woods, to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Gonna' e-mail 'em. Got their websites up right this very moment.
When those gadflys sink their teeth in your collective butts you all will think twice when you mention our revered presidential contender's name anywhere, anytime. Now wha-da-ya think 'o that!
