Today In Racist Republican News

You know,if I had the time,I could probably post one of these everyday.
Last week,a newspaper ran a story about President Obama but "made a mistake" and inserted a picture of Malcolm X. CLEARLY,trying to say that the President was a "black radical",whatever THAT means.
This week, we have this

The picture is part of a "before and after" series of past Presidents.All of the other Presidents and First Ladies were depicted as they were then and are now. But when it came to the Obamas,instead of showing a picture of them when they were younger,they chose to run a picture of Barack depicted as Fred Sanford and Michelle depicted as Aunt Esther.
The publisher of Smithtown Messenger on Long Island,New York is defending the photo but said they will issue a "retraction" in tomorrow's paper.
A RETRACTION!!!???
Who cares about a RETRACTION!!!
The very fact that they would even CONSIDER posting this picture is so utterly disrespectful,that I literally have no words. And for ME,that's saying something.

 

*Just in case you were wondering*
