LOL! Nobody knows good comedy quite like Republicans!


I still can't imagine why that Daily Show rip-off on Fox failed!

I'm sure we'll see that button along with Obama monkeys quite a bit. After they got away with Purple Heart Band Aids last time around, they will be shameless this time around.

And copyright violators as well, as I highly doubt Houghton-Mifflin approved such a use of its trademark.

I wonder how African American Republicans feel about these.

That's nothing--look what a simple google search comes up with:




Perhaps this one should have been entitled: "Where All the White Women BE At?" No?




This one took a little more throught and creativity:






And this one is my own personal favorite:

Where's your proof these were sold at the Convention?

Ok, I'm sorry, but the driving Miss Hillary crazy one is funny.

And they've been selling sexist merchandise with Hillary on it since the convention began. I was wondering how long it would take for them to start capitalizing on Obama.

"Dallas Morning News, goth:"

And just because some intern puts it on a blog we should believe it? Show me a picture of a vendor at the convention actually selling them.

Here's a link that says that says: "a Texas Republican Party official, who tells us that the party had absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about this tasteful button that was for sale at this past weekend's state GOP convention"

It doesn't say that they deny that it was being sold...just that they had no knowledge of it being sold. Uh-huh. In this case ignorance is bliss!

All one really has to do is go to republicanmarket.com and take a look at some of their merchandise. It doesn't take a huge leap of faith to believe that they also had a hand in this.
WE DIDN'T KNOW

That Republican Market is hysterical! Not only do they have real cutting-edge buttons like "God created Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve" and like a hundred buttons about how "ugly" Hillary is they have this real head-scratcher: "A woman's place is in the house...and senate!" Why would a republican buy that?
