Paddy posted about The Tee Shirt, expecting that something like this would happen:

" A typical street whore ." " A bunch of ghetto thugs ." " Ghetto street trash ." " Wonder when she will get her first abortion ."

There they are, folks. The Family Values Crowd. See how they value other people's families?



These are a small selection of some of the racially-charged comments posted to the conservative 'Free Republic' blog Thursday, aimed at U.S. President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Malia after she was photographed wearing a t-shirt with a peace sign on the front.

A... peace sign? A peace sign?! Really? No more killing? What was she thinking? These would have obviously been so much more acceptable:

The thread was accompanied by a photo of Michelle Obama speaking to Malia that featured the caption, "To entertain her daughter, Michelle Obama loves to make monkey sounds." Though this may sound like the sort of thing one might read on an Aryan Nation or white power website, they actually appeared on what is commonly considered one of the prime online locations for U.S. Conservative grassroots political discussion and organizing [...] Moderators of the blog left the comments - and commenters - in place until a complaint was lodged by a writer doing research on the conservative movement, almost a full day later.

I'm sure it was just an oversight. No, wait. Freepers don't believe in oversight.



"Could you imagine what world leaders must be thinking seeing this kind of street trash and that we paid for this kind of street ghetto trash to go over there?" wrote one commenter. "They make me sick .... The whole family... mammy, pappy, the free loadin' mammy-in-law, the misguided chillin', and especially 'lil cuz... This is not the America I want representin' my peeps," wrote another.

How American of them. How inclusive and Big Tenty. Why, I bet their next convention will have at least two African Americans... if the Tee Vee camera can find/train on them long enough before the planted "ghetto thugs" slip out the back door to collect their paychecks. The Extras Union is fussy that way.



Now take a deep breath, because you'll need oxygen after you read the next part. Check out the Freeps' "disclaimer", and then take in how well the Commenters abided by the rules:



A note on the front of the blog reads, " Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government, " but one comment on the thread read, " This disgusting display makes me more and more eager for the revolution ," while another read, " I never actually wnated [sic] to be a pistol before but ..."

Ahh, the inevitable mention of guns. We all knew they'd make an appearance. There's that Very Special violent streak we all know and abhor.



After attention from other blogs, the thread was suppressed and placed under review, but before long it was returned to the site intact, and attracted a new series of racial slurs when the original complaint email was posted publicly to the site, with the sender's email address intact .

But there's always that one deeply sensitive soul, in this case the Creepy Freepy Leader, whose wisdom is passed down to his Fellow Freepers:



"The writer has a point," wrote site owner Jim Thompson sarcastically. " We should steer clear of Obama's children. They can't help it if their old man is an American-hating Marxist pig ."

His kindly influence was felt instantly. Why, just look at the resulting, er, empathy:



"I agree Jim," wrote commenter, by the nickname NoobRep. "The kids didn't pick their commie pinko pansy of a father. Nor did they choose to be put into the spotlight. But Obama/Soetoro is fair game and so is his witch of a wife." "Poor kids. I hope they're not 'punished with a baby'," wrote another. "Hopefully they won't deal cocaine like the Kenyan." "DIRTBAGS! All of them. Our [White House] is now a joke to the rest of the world. We have no respect and this is not going to turn out well, mark my words. We will be hit, and much worse than last time. We are now seen as weak and vulnerable. Ghetto and Chicago thugs have taken over."

And then they all donned their fishing waders, joined hands in a show of unity, and dove back into the cesspool from which they originally oozed.
