Oh, Texas Republicans, you are always so funny. Here is a fun button worn by everyone at the Texas GOP convention. When not making hilarious rape jokes, Texas Republicans like to make jokes about ambitious coloreds. [America Blog]

Texas GOP Racists Make Wacky Racist Buttons

I believe the term you were looking for is “uppity negroes”
GEEEZ, Ken…get it right!
Well, when W was President we didn’t put foam padding on the walls, so no.
Uppity. He’s uppity, not ambitious.
Definitely “white house” shall remain if they are of course appealing to Barry’s crack-addiction and love of white-boys.
Some new button slogans:
“Only Steers and Queers Come from Texas.”
“Here I am squatting and flexing about to give birth to another Texan.”
Technically, it would be half white and half black.
I suppose we could call it the President’s “crib”. I heard that’s what the coloreds say nowadays.
every time something like this shows up, I want to give money to Hopey.
His winning would be so sweet in the face of evil crap like this. Maybe in the meantime, we can find the manufacturer and neuter him.
My “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” file has officially overflowed …
Given the changing demographics of our country, I’m glad that the GOP is opting out of a future for their party.
More overt racism, please!
Racism aside, that’s not even half a joke. It sounds like something an unfunny 5th grader would come up with. Truly pathetic.
ManchuCandidate: +1 I’m making your second one into a button… just fo’ me!
And when the Governor’s Mansion is rebuilt and Rick Perry moves back in will we call it a bath house?
NoWireHangers: The Cafe au Lait House!
If WALNUTS! is president will the White House smell like urine, distribute pills at 4PM, and will visitors only stop by once every 4-6 months?
If the grumpus wins, can we call it a convalescent home???
At least they’re equally Offensive
This purported button…I’m having trouble believing this is true. It is just so completely…STUPID…ARGH! I want to hit them.
They’re right, those funny Republican steer inseminators.
It aint the White House no mo’; its the “House that Whitey Built.”
So dance to this song, Texan Whiteys:
We’re movin’ on up…
Movin’ on up . . .
To the “House that Whitey built.”
Actually, it was called the “Executive Mansion” until T Roosevelt started calling it the White House at the turn of the 20th Century. I guess it stuck since those people back then loved irony until it bit them in the asses come ‘29.
…well we didn’t call it a trailer park when “W” and Laura moved in, so YES it will still be called the FUKKIN White House dikk heads!
obfuscator: Actually, I had to listen to this same line about three months ago when I explained to a wingnut coworker that not only was a godless liberal but one that was supporting the half black guy. When he made the comment I simply blinked my eye for like 45 seconds and walked away. If this is what the right has come to, we shall have a Republican free White House in our future.
NoWireHangers: The Gray House? The Mulatto Mansion?
freakishlystrong: I find the pin more than offensive, actually. It is deeply disturbing.
Maybe because it is the 10th anniversary of James Byrd’s murder, and I have that in mind.

Cicada:
3 Whore Diamonds.
I’ve been telling everyone I know (in other words, boring them to death) that all this Close the Borders and Uppity Negro stuff by Republicans is just going to fuck them over in 25 years when our kids all look like Brazilians and start learning Mandarin/Hindi in the fifth grade.
But Barry Hussein might lose some White, blue collar voters in Appalachia. Oh noes.
Cicada: I do look forward to the “Cribs” episode where Barry opens up the doors to the MTV cameras. How much Cristal can the White House refrigerator hold? Find out next.
“These is my minks.”
Texas: The Lone Brain Cell State
obfuscator: …well developmentally Republican have minds of 5th graders! Why else do think they are always trying to screw 12 year olds?!
XOMuffintop: If this is what the right has come to, we shall have a Republican free White House in our future.
They haven’t come to anything. They have always been this disgusting but panic over President Obama strips off their thin coating of civilized behavior.
You can call it whatever you want, but you’ll still have to go in through the back door.
Easy, Bubba. If Hopey wins, the White House will turn a glowing mocha and shoot sparkly rainbows night and day. It makes me downright giddy to learn of so many bitter racist panties all wadded up over the prospect of my mulatto boyfriend winning the presidency. I wonder how many dangerous blood pressure elevations Barry is causing among the bigfatredneck set?
mookworthjwilson: Damn…some guy on america blog beat me to that one…i did not copy it…I swear!!!
This is silly season, folks. White people don’t worry one bit about what the White House will be called: they still worry about him painting it black.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxl4lQ8tmdM
Good lord. Although after Obama won the nomination I was singing “I see a White House and I want to paint it black.” But that is totally different.
you can call it “Da White House”
Doglessliberal: The Mocha Latte House. The entire West Wing will be turned into a lounge for Harvard and University of Chicago students, professors and alums. The Secret Service might have to use occasional force in separating brawlers trying to determine with fisticuffs whether Herodotus or Thucydides was the first historian.
oh. dear. god.
I actually hadn’t remembered the rape “joke” or the Chelsea joke either. When can we start rounding up all the redneck, white trash, ignorant, irrational, racist, homophobic, sexist, bible-thumping fucking PHILISTINES and begin the cleansing!?!?
P.S. I’m mad.
Just so long as we know where everybody stands. Uh-huh.
Deepthroat: Those boys need to get hit. Hard.
metropolitan: or ‘Da Spot’ for short.
As long as McCain losing is inevitable, they might as well lie there and enjoy it.
Speaking of the Texas GOP, my mom recently emailed me a child’s treasury of concerns about Barack’s “terrorist friend” who supposedly blew up the Pentagon on September 11th. When I inquired as to where she got that breaking news from, she said it was from a woman who helped organize Bush’s Texas campaign in 2004. I almost told her to go tell that bitch to suck a donkey dick, but she raised me too well.
isn’t it obvious…thugz mansion.
metropolitan:
You mean “Da White Crib”.
metropolitan: “Royal Villa Ryadh?”
confusionanddelay<: I’m looking forward to reading about a wave of strokes and heart attacks decimating the redneck populations on November 4th.
AxmxZ:
My dad recently informed me that my uncle in Kansas is “sure that Obama is a Muslim”. He’s not sure how he knows, he’s just “sure”.
Doglessliberal: I find this disturbing as well, but, unfortunately, not surprising. I mean, they’re selling monkey sock puppets dress like Obama fer Chrissakes, they referred to Michelle as “Obama’s Baby Mama”, instead of getting angry, I sadly, can only consider the source.
No, it’ll be called the Muslim House. Morans.
Shouldn’t the button say, “When Obama is President…”?
donner_froh: Touche.
Maybe the Texas Republicans have just been listening to “Chocolate City” by P-Funk: “They still call it the White House, but we’re working on that!”
Halfrican Hut
If a Texan thinks… Is he still a Texan?
ManchuCandidate: So you also saw weeds last night?
clearly he’ll turn it into his own personal pimped out mosque where him and his muslim buddies can pray five times a day.
ronaldpagan: Well, that was just “a” white house. George Clinton was going to do up the whole thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxl4lQ8tmdM
Why should the Repugnantcans stop with the button?

So Obama’s the Fresh Prince of DC?
Servo: [to McCain] Yo homes, smell ya later!
norbizness…cracker…it’s Holmes
Okay with all the Texan jokes, people. Please amend to “Texas Republicans.” Also, I bought a button at the Texas Democratic convention last week that said “Hard Working White Person For Obama.” Is that racialist as well? I’m kind of afraid to wear it.
Q2: Actually, five out of six lame lyrics websites cite the lyric as “homes” contrary to my own personal opinion. Just thought i’d let everyone know since this is such a critical piece of popculture history.
Buffy and Hildegard: From a distance, does the button resemble a bullseye?
not to sound like the dixie clits, but that kinda makes me ashamed to be a texan. that and george bush and halliburton and rick perry, etc., etc., etc.
Deepthroat: Sheesh…so many people out there are Qlueless.
edgydrifter: No — but there is a weird ticking noise…
tsunami:
That’s a great song.
when bush is no longer president, will we still call it the nuthouse?
Oh God…I thought that was an urban legend. As a resident of the only liberal hold-out in the state (Austin), PLEASE do not judge all Texans by those gawd-awful republican holes. Though there are parts of the state that even I won’t travel to even though I am a white man, (because I am also the Gay). The REAL nazis in this state are the rich and hateful ex-Californians who moved to Dallas and the burbs when Orange County became “too liberal”.
Huge subs on the Truman balcony, spinners on the limo, and pouring out 40’s at Arlington on Memorial Day, right Texas? Are you sure this is legit?
freakishlystrong: yeah, I just was having a low moment, and it was hard to do so, but you are right. Hell, if HE can deal with this shit, I, a white woman, really should be able to hold it together.
sarcasticusername: I am laughing out loud at the concept of “pimped out mosque”. Will the hot chicks from the BET videos be there, just in burquas? They are hot underneath the burquas, we assume.
I wish someone would mess with Texas.
AxmxZ:
Apropos of nothing:
Herodotus or Thucydides? Look no further!
http://www.katebeaton.com/Site/Welcome.html (Scroll down to “The Father of Lies”, although I find the ones on Garfield, Tintin and the Northwest Passage also hilariously funny.)
Yes, I’m a huge Chicago nerd. Help me.
AngryBlakGuy: But we could have called it “The Crack House” or, at the vary least, vacant.
Q2: Al Jezzera on the Potomac
How is the message on the button racist? It makes no value judgement about any race over any other, it doesn’t advocate discrimination of any kind, nor does it demean or insult members of any particular race. Call the message it bears juvenile and stupid because I certainly do, but lets reserve the term “racist” for truly racist things.
You know, once he moves in and turns us all Muslim, the incidence of melanoma might just plummet because of all the cloth covering up our sinful flesh.
This could be bad for the dermatologists and sunblock manufacturers.
S.Luggo: Chalet De Ter Ror
See! See! I combined the French elitism with da terror lovin’ Barry.
Or maybe: Terror Baracks
OH NO! What if Walnutz wins? Would it become…”Castle Cuntalicious?”
asgardshill: assuming you are not kidding, it it not worth the breath it would take to try to explain this to you. Go back to stroking your TruckNutz. If you are kidding, I am sorry for assuming otherwise. (You still can stroke your TruckNutz, if you’d like)
asgardshill: Disagree. It’s only value is making a point of Barry’s dermatone.
Q2: ok, so you explained it quite well in few words. Nicely done. I am Ms. Crankypants today, I guess.
Q2:
Or, more subtly: he’s BLACK, get it?
BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACKETY BLACK HURR HURRRRR
@Doglessliberal: of course, barry wouldn’t have it anyway. watch out for michelle to turn up at barry’s inauguration with nothing but her angry black woman eyes visible through her burqua and those two little girls of theirs and their new mccain aged husbands too. the obamas are in the house y’all!
Q2: HOPEY HOUSE!
jjgittes: GAH HAH HAH!! South Side represent! Herodotus was a rumor-monger.
sarcasticusername: I see a sitcom here….
Or (with a nod to BOTH da Ameximericans and da Takfirs): Hopey’s Harem Hacienda of Terror
Whatever. But what shall they call Air Force One?
AfroForce One?
Doglessliberal: So in other words, you can’t show how it is racist, only that you think it is. Got it.
Q2: So what? Stupid jokes have no value - that’s why they’re called “stupid jokes.” But that doesn’t make them racist.
asgardshill: Racist.
asgardshill: No, I don’t need to “show” anything. I am not going to bother to try. Better and more patient posters than I have explained it above as simply as it can be for you.
Doglessliberal: Yes. Perhaps a Jeffersons/24/Cosby/Reality show. Starring — LADIES & GENTLEMEM….MEET THE O B A M A ‘S!
Well we’re movin on up!
From the South Side.
To a deluxe crib of great fame!
Movin on up!
From the South Side.
We finally on board da gravy train!
Q2: watch for the Very Special Episode when the wacky Kenyan relatives drop in unexpectedly! Hijinks ensue!
Doglessliberal…
Hope don’t fly in the senate;
Truth gonna burn on the hill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’
Hope it don’t amount to nill.
Now we’re up in teh big leagues
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s me and M baby
There ain’t nothin wrong with that!
jjgittes: Good show, sir! I was reading Kate Beaton earlier today and not only was amused by a second “Herodotus v. Thucydides” reference, but to reference the very material I was reading! Bravo, indeed!
Please get out of my head now, ‘k? The Camperette needs some “Me” time.
It’s obviously just so they can meet their flair quota at the restaurant where they wait tables.
Cranky Little Camperette:
Oh God. It’s like a mutiny of prevert nerds up in here.
Pretty soon we’ll all be playing Settlers of Catan while talking about this or that article in the New Yorker over DJ Shadow or old TMBG albums. And I’ve actually disgusted myself by typing that. (Well, OK, it’s what *I’d* want to do with my time. Sheesh. I’ll bring the beer.)
Or we could simply make fun of people on the internets who don’t get what “race-baiting” means.
Ack! The Stupid! It burns!
asgardshill: Actually, asgardshill is right; on a purly objective vacuum-sealed level. HOWEVER, given that we live in the society that we do, interacting with people and history and all the rest of reality around us, we must take the connotations of the message into account too. Perhaps the button-makers are simply ignorant in the truest sense of the word; but we must also take history and common sense which implies a racist suggestion. And fuck, i have to run away from work now so it’s been short and sweet…
Count Snarkula: I can vouch that there are liberals in Texas — especially where there are universities. Texas created Ma Richards, Jim Hightower, and Molly Ivins.
mothermaven: Excellent choices; thank you. And Liz Smith!
jjgittes: chicago nerds are hot. and always have been.
