GIVE THIS MAN A TEE SHIRT

Black McCain Supporter Cannot Buy ‘Black Men For McCain’ Shirt, Because There Is No Such Thing

Thanks to Wonkette niche blog operative “Colin” for introducing us to the blog “BLACK MEN FOR MCCAIN.” Who knew! Unfortunately one of these black men is pissed as all get-out at McCain’s Online Store. He notes that the store sells tee shirts for the following groups — Women For McCain, Irish For McCain, Jewish Americans For McCain, Hispanics For McCain, Asian & Pacific Islanders For McCain, and Arab Americans For McCain — but none for our swarthiest brethren. He writes, “I’m black, proud, and I want a damn T-shirt. I have contacted the McCain campaign and received no reply. I think it’s safe to assume that if Arab Americans get their own shirt, Black Men are not asking too much…” It’s rather impressive (impressive?) that neocon bomb & blood fetishist John McCain expects more ARAB votes than black votes.

    No “Gays for McCain?”

    But he’s okay with the Irish. Next thing you know, he’ll be in favor of letting them marry and stuff.

    Nothing like an “Arab American for McCain” t-shirt to make a DHS-bots life easier. Wear it on your next trip to the airport!

  3. AngryBlakGuy says at 2:55 pm, August 12th, 2008

    …what, no Czechoslovakians for McCain? Or maybe Russian Imperialist for McCain? Now that is insulting!

  4. tunamelt says at 2:56 pm, August 12th, 2008

    That’s a parody blog, right? Like Stuff White People Like or something.

  5. Vanity Smurf says at 2:56 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Well, they offered him a “John McCain’s House Nigger” shirt and he didn’t want that either.

  6. tsunami says at 2:57 pm, August 12th, 2008

    morans for mccain

    dumbasses for mccain

    pinheads for mccain

    assfukkers for mccain

    cunty trollops for mccain

  7. SuperRounder says at 2:58 pm, August 12th, 2008

    They should just make a “Darkies for McCain” shirt to cover all their bases. I sent away for my “Aborted Fetuses Conceived By Interracial Homosexual Couples On A Bet for McCain” t-shirt weeks ago. Still haven’t received it yet. Fuckin’ post office.

  8. Botswana Meat Commission FC says at 2:59 pm, August 12th, 2008

    I think it’s safe to assume that if Bowser, Miss Buffalo Chip, the Montauk Monster and Charlie Crist’s beard get their own shirt, Black Men are not asking too much…”

  9. BadNewsJack says at 3:04 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Trannys for McCain.
    Left-handers for McCain.
    Satanists for McCain.
    Illegal Immigrants from McCain

  10. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 3:04 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Couldn’t find a GLBT for McCain shirt either.

  11. Fear of a Black Reagan says at 3:05 pm, August 12th, 2008

    If the McCain people have to make a shirt for black people, they will just make it say “MUH DICK” and then keep track of the person’s address and then burn their house down because of Racism.

  12. ManchuCandidate says at 3:05 pm, August 12th, 2008

    No Inbreds For McCain Tees?

  13. No Muslim-Americans for McCain shirts?

  14. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:05 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Arabs for McCain? Truly American.
    Arabs for Barry? Stop these terrorists!!!!!!1!

  15. Supernatural_Delegate says at 3:06 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Silly black man, McCain is for honkies!

  16. tunamelt says at 3:08 pm, August 12th, 2008

    “Ugly Chinese Girl for McCain Shirt?”

  17. greatgooglymoogly says at 3:09 pm, August 12th, 2008

    There is no cost justification for specially printing only 4 T-shirts. Even using slave-Chinese-sweatshop labor. He’ll have to wear the generic “I’m with Stupid for McCain” T-shirt, just like everyone else.

  18. Baconcat says at 3:09 pm, August 12th, 2008

    There seems to be no ‘White men for McCain’ shirt either. Hmmmm.

  19. SayItWithWookies says at 3:10 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Why are black men for McCain playing the race card?

  20. How about Gooks for McCain?

  21. mookworthjwilson says at 3:12 pm, August 12th, 2008

    I love how there is one comment on that guy’s blog…”You are an idiot”…says it all.

  22. obfuscator says at 3:13 pm, August 12th, 2008

    I’m pretty sure Strom Thurmond’s 1948 presidential campaign had t-shirts with this exact same phrasing, but the intent was MUCH different.

  23. mookworthjwilson says at 3:14 pm, August 12th, 2008

    How bout “Bitters for McCain”

  24. mookworthjwilson says at 3:14 pm, August 12th, 2008

    mookworthjwilson: Ooo…he got another!

  25. KevoTron says at 3:15 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Visigoths for McCain? He did help us sack Rome after all.

  26. mookworthjwilson says at 3:15 pm, August 12th, 2008

    The Incomparable Tiny Valdez: Try the log cabin site…they might have a very tasteful McCain codpiece.

  27. obfuscator says at 3:18 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Crippled and Discarded First Wives for McCain?

  28. Clearly “Black Men for McCain” blog is actually white McCain staffers, and the indignant commenter simply stumbled upon a ruse. Clearly McCain expects to receive no actual votes from black men.

  29. magic titty says at 3:20 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Vanity Smurf: Well played.

  30. My Fat and Happy Ass Crabs for McCain

  31. magic titty says at 3:21 pm, August 12th, 2008

    What about the Black Men for Cindy and Megan t-shirts??
    Out of stock?

  32. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:25 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Duck Fuckers for McCain.

  33. tunamelt says at 3:26 pm, August 12th, 2008

    KevoTron: The old jokes never get old. Well done.

  34. mookworthjwilson says at 3:28 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Judging from the time stamp on the comments, it appears that Colin lives in the Azores.

  35. obfuscator says at 3:29 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Cuckolding Bikers for McCain?

    Bill & Hillary Clinton for McCain?

  36. mookworthjwilson says at 3:29 pm, August 12th, 2008

    mookworthjwilson: Oops not Colin, but the “Black Man for McCain”.

  37. You just don’t get it, do you? The reason there are no such T-shirts is because Repugs don’t want black people supporting them. In case you didn’t know, Repugs are racists and they hate black people (actually, as all good Christians, they love the people but they hate the sin of being black) and they don’t want your kind around them. Get used to it or, better yet, actively seek to crush them in November.

  38. Why get mad about this? The invisible hand of the free market is dictating the supply of “Black Men for McCain” t-shirts. Besides, do you think the McCain campaign wants to get stuck with an entire warehouse full of unsellable t-shirts?

  39. magic titty says at 3:35 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Undecideds for McCain.

  40. Smackdown says at 3:35 pm, August 12th, 2008

    This must be a blog written by the real life black guy I met at a bar a month ago who is voting for McCain. I am pretty sure he’s the only one.

  41. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 3:36 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Black Men for McCain’s Mancrush.

  42. walnuts4brkfst says at 3:36 pm, August 12th, 2008

    loved the link to the anne coulter website on his blog. she looks super smart in her pic.

  43. mackensie says at 3:37 pm, August 12th, 2008

    You know who else is voting for McCain?

    That’s right!

  44. Either Colin is not really black or not really a McCain supporter. There can be no other explanation.

  45. Also, are “Arab Americans For McCain” T-shirts another way of saying, “Please don’t profile me?”

  46. Gopherit v2.0 says at 3:41 pm, August 12th, 2008

    KevoTron: No, no, no…..he roamed around in the sack.
    Close though.

  47. Actually, first I thought that blog was by Alan Keyes, but then he described himself as having a job. Definitely not Keyes.

  48. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 3:41 pm, August 12th, 2008

    The superior and far more hilarious site is http://www.womenforjohnmccain.com/.

    The best part is that someone didn’t get the joke and their is an ad to donate to McCain on the site.

  49. CivicHoliday says at 3:42 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Why no Germans for McCain? He ate their sausage, didn’t he? DIDN’T HE?!?

  50. huertanix says at 3:45 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Sooo I take it the “African Americans for John McCain” is only for white South-African Americans and Rhodesian expats?

  51. GIJoeIce says at 3:46 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Colin Powell is a Wonkette tipster?

  52. obfuscator says at 3:48 pm, August 12th, 2008

    sezme:

    A slightly more subtle way of saying “I’m one of the good ones”.

  53. american mutt says at 3:48 pm, August 12th, 2008

    George W. Bush for McCain

  54. mookworthjwilson says at 3:51 pm, August 12th, 2008

    huertanix: John McCain was actually a childhood penpal of Cecil Rhodes.

  55. tunamelt says at 3:52 pm, August 12th, 2008

    MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend: Oh my God, that’s so funny.

  56. trophy(forparticipation)wife says at 3:52 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Maybe the t-shirts can’t take the ironing.

  57. brown_recluse says at 3:54 pm, August 12th, 2008

    ‘Hispanics’ for McCain? If you see anyone wearing that, you know you are facing someone who is a tool on many, many levels.

  58. If they made a “Black Men for McCain” T-shirt, I would pay whatever cost necessary to get Barry to wear one for the rest of the campaign.

  59. JSDC007 says at 4:17 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Clarence Thomas just loves to bitch, doesn’t he?

  60. BadNewsJack says at 4:19 pm, August 12th, 2008

    brown_recluse: My thoughts exactly. Damn Cubans.

  61. AnnieGetYourFun says at 4:45 pm, August 12th, 2008

    I was wondering what Juan Williams would wear. So, with this guy, Keyes, Thomas, and Williams, that’s, like, four black dudes who will probably vote for McCain. Someone want to introduce them to Cafe Press?

  62. obfuscator says at 4:57 pm, August 12th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: I was thinking J.C. Watts & Michael Steele and that crazy ex-military mofo down in Florida.

  63. loquaciousmusic says at 5:23 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Hey, McCain: Osama bin Laden called. He wants his shirt back.

  64. problemwithcaring says at 5:26 pm, August 12th, 2008

    Hold up - not so fast. Alan Keyes thinks John McCain is evil. At least that’s what I think he thinks, if only only sombody would translate this meandering 20,000 essay of maddening incomprehension on the evils of the 2 party system.

    http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=71830

  65. i would buy this shirt only if it were in arabic, then stand really close to mccain at rallys with a down-vest-jacket on. Well, I’d buy it if I didn’t think the money was going to Mccrazy, but why do I care about material things I got the 4-0. virgins waitin for me in Jenna that is.

    Lazy, shiftless BMFM! I got my nifty “Hawaiian Mixed Race Barefoot Polyglot for Ron Paul” shirt online.
