Texas Republicans Take Weak Stand Against Racism!
The Republican Party of Texas will donate to charity the $1,500 it received for leasing a booth at its state convention to a vendor who sold this racist button, according to reports.
That's it????
According to the Dallas Morning News, the booth selling the racist pin was leased by Jonathan Alcox of Florida.
Texas Republicans spokeswhore Hans Klingler said the Repubs have been unsuccessful in trying to reach the vendor, Republicanmarket.com, who sold pins, scarves and other items last weekend.
So, instead, the party is sending a letter saying in “very strong terms” that he need not apply to sell items at any further state GOP events.
That's the way to take a stand against racism…donate a laughable $1500 and send a 'strongly worded' letter.
The Republican Party is still determining which charity will receive its donation.
The Texan Republican mouthpiece Klinger went on to say that he and party leaders believe the pin is distasteful and they hated that it was being sold at their event, which he said was upbeat and dedicated to unity.
Whatever.
Actions speak louder than words!

Obama Doesn't Like Muslims???
Denise Richards Is A "Fucking N—–????"
I am absolute appalled by this button with the racist remark. By putting it up on your site, you are giving it the reprehensible attention that it does not deserve. It just really makes me mad.
Yep…actions speak louder than words. Liking fighting and dying to end slavery in the U.S. (The first in the world to do so.)
Also, like fighting Democrats to end institutional segregation. Yeah…evil Republican parties. Keeping them slaves to welfare so you can coerce their vote to stay in power and stay rich is the right way to treat them, isn't that right Ted?
That's pretty disturbing..
Re: fucku – Oct. 18, 1999 | PHOENIX — GOP presidential candidate John McCain's wife Cindy took to the airwaves last week, recounting for Jane Pauley (on "Dateline") and Diane Sawyer (on "Good Morning America") the tale of her onetime addiction to Percocet and Vicodin, and the fact that she stole the drugs from her own nonprofit medical relief organization.
TALK ABOUT THAT RACIST FUCK…

Everyone just needs to get over themselves—the Dems especially Obama can do whatever they want–but the entire Republican party gets blamed for one A-hole—-let's see….if McCain doesn't win there will be no riots—imagine what kind of H*** will break loose if Obama loses!!!!
Re: Bekah –
its not racist??????? are you fucking stupid? thats one of the most racist comments ive ever heard of.
Give them a break! Repubs as a whole are not responsible for this. Not even Texas Repubs as a whole. It's one man and his vendor who are the backwards idiots. So why spread flames of hate over the entire body of Texas Republicans for trying to rectify a situation. Besides, what do you mean "actions speak louder than words" anyway? THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING. It's not like there's a time machine to go back and stop the idiot from selling the racist buttons.
i think that this pin is absolutely ridiculous! and whoever made it is an idiot. the white house wasn't named because we've only had all white (caucasian) presidents. so i think that this is probably the dumbest racial slur i have ever seen!
if the dems would have done something like this, no one would have cared!!!
Re: mike – its ok because he is a democrat! (i hope you see my sarcasim)
Re: asdlk – then get the heck out! there is no room for you here.
Re: Gwen –
Im a liberal from dallas texas and I love OBAMA AND YOU
obama is half black half white! NOT ALL BLACK!!!! so he wont be the first black president. he'll be the first half black half white president.
damned if they do damned if they dont. I love you Perez but seriously?….seriously?? they are just taking something that was bad and trying to make it right. No matter what they did you would hate on them, so they might as well try to correct the problem and not care what others think.
OK, it is funny. A damn joke. Now if it said something about stereotypes then you could call it racist.
Second, I used to like this site but Perez is just hammering his political OPINION down peoples throats and it is getting old. I mean, just because people in Hollyweird think it is best to vote for a democrate regardless of his views or beliefs doesn't mean it is best for the rest of the country….you know, the people that work everyday at jobs they hate and worry about bills and gas prices. If 'rez knew anything about politic he would know that gas has nothing to do with G. effing Bush. It is WHERE we are getting the oil that is the problem
everybody takes everything way outta content. Yes its a racist pin, but dont we have bigger things to worry about…ummmm like our young men dying in a bullshit war. c'mon people
p.s. I'm black.
Re: gpl – Exactly my point!
Why bring someones color into the whole thing?
Have some class!
Re: gpl – Classy!
Are you kidding?
Is that button classy?
Are the majority of the idiots posting classy? You know the ones who are using the N word and admitting they are racist?
Hmm……..
Sorry I dont feel you!
Why dont you tell your republican friends to have some class!
Im an Austinite, and this kinda stuff makes me want to move, its disgusting that people still think like that, thankfully Austins not anything like the rest of Texas!
Re: Amby – I totally agree with you. Doesnt it kind of shock you? So much stuff is happening around us and having a black presedent is what people are concerned about. I dont know about you but I think this is the time for change and people are diffrent than they were years ago (the majority of us anyway) and I think Obama is great! Im kind of nervous because of all the sick people on here but honestly I think the groups of people like that are getting smaller and smaller. I dont know where these people live or what they live like but they are so shallow!
Button or no button,republicans are gross,lets face it and southern republicans are nazi kkk taliban with a smiling facade,period.
