      Of course it's not about RACE, is it Granny?

    2. gossiprag (29 months ago | reply)

      I think she's calling Barack Obama a "liberal lion", so this is like a compliment.

    3. stevekaw (29 months ago | reply)

      This makes me sad and fear for this nation's future. And to think this women thinks her signs are funny?

      They're not; they're tragic...

      I would like this photo to be displayed in every big daily paper on the front page for the next year with the caption: "The lady's representin' the GOP"

      Include her name and place of origin.

      These douchebags need to be shamed and embarrassed.

    5. Taksapon (29 months ago | reply)

      She's merely referring to Obama as a King of Men.

      Part of being stupid is not understanding when your stupidity offends others or works against you. That's why you'll see a smiling granny tell an Israeli that he supports Hitler, or why when you meet a truther and say you're from New York the first question is, "Did you know 9/11 was an inside job?"

      I hope this photo makes the rounds.
      Everyone should see what these people are really all about.

      Unbelievable! One of the things that I noticed a the march were the large numbers of senior citizens. Sad!

      I am in mourning. I have always considered myself conservative, based on the majority of my voting record. Now I am just embarrased...

      Holy mother of all that is ignorant. I weep for this country, I really do.

      This is the same woman who checks her locks or rolls up her car window when she sees a black person walk down the road. Thank god, in a few years most of these teabaggers will be dead.

      At least she can spell, and her sign isn't written in semi-legible grade-school block letters like most of them. Other than that, just... wow...

    16. chelew (29 months ago | reply)

      At least she can spell, and her sign isn't written in semi-legible grade-school block letters like most of them

      But didn't she leave out a crucial word? Shouldn't it read "African Lion"?

      I wish we knew who this gal was so we can all write her friendly notes .
      I think she's in the b&w photo. Also.

    19. pegleg peggy (29 months ago | reply)

      Takes the phrase "white trash" to a whole new level. B***c.

      idiot. dangerous ignorant idiot.

    21. drunkaholic (29 months ago | reply)

      we is there anyone who thinks this is NOT racist? I would love to see Glenn Beck and Rush defend this racist moron

    22. ajsimkatu (29 months ago | reply)

      She didn't leave the word "Lion" out, she used a picture of a lion to replace the word. I'm not sure why because it would have made her "joke" an easier read.

      Racist pigs.

    23. pegleg peggy (29 months ago | reply)

      No, her mistake was that it isn't ALL pictures so her fellow teabaggers could read it.

    24. imorgan73 (29 months ago | reply)

      900 kinds of awesome on display right there.

      1 Million people were marching where are these photos?

      Here's a pic I took at a Tea Party in April.

      So true... :)

      I found your Hall of Shame on the UK "Telegraph" website. Your message has certainly reached this country, and I can only say, "All power to you and those that have written above in exposing the fascists that still linger on in all parts of the Western World.

    30. B4J1989 [deleted] (29 months ago | reply)

      how sad . . . and it's likely passed down to her children and grandchildren too!

    31. Dan_DC (29 months ago | reply)

      Where's her white hood?

    32. Punk & Disorderly (29 months ago | reply)

      "1 Million people were marching where are these photos? "

      A million? Proof positive that cons can't count. The best estimates are that 60,000 to 70,000 showed up. And that's not to say that 60,000 isn't a huge number, and it would be impressive if it were at all indicative of the national mood, but the fact is, 77% of the country wants a public option as part of the health care reform. So, finding a small sliver of the 23% of people who want the insurance companies to keep screwing people over and letting them die and/or ruining them financially isn't very impressive...

    33. galenbooboo (29 months ago | reply)

      The stupidity of some amazes me! I am sure she is not racist! LOL

    34. galenbooboo (29 months ago | reply)

      I agree totally with Dan DC as to where is her white hood. The scary thing is that she is probably someones Mother or Grandmother. We can only hope she isn't instilling her level of ignorance and hate.

    35. QueentoRule (29 months ago | reply)

      You know, I have to wonder, what's this Cracker's educational level!..
      White's living in this united states, need to get back to basics and become re-educated in this countries' history!
      First of All, They too came over here on boats, by escaping religious persecution, being exiled as rapist and theives and doomed to sail the sea's and bumped into this beautiful land that they stole and tried to call their own!..
      They captured and tortured africans, brought them to america against their will, (didn't have any problem, sticking their nasty dirty white penis's in our women though..raping them and making melano babies).... Stole Africans from their Rich land; where scientific fact has proven to be the cradle of life!!.. All the riches of Africa, why would they want to leave there to be tourcherd, enslaved and rape???? Get back to the Basics white america, they owe AFricans more than Reperations!.. So they better watch out that they don't insight a long awaited Race Revolution! Just let them keep on with the Sh$t, and disrespecting my President!.. They took Bush's foolishry up their anus's for 8 years hard and stiff, with out vasoline... so get off President Obama's back and try and dig up your European Kings from the 16th or 17th century that threw them out of their land to come and tornment others for eternity! Oh and by the way, their always quick to call us monkey's how about they looked like dirty fowls and voltures, that had rabies, scabies, every plague under the God forsaken sun. Didn't wash, no sense of good hygeine and they want to always ridicule Africans and their descendants?? not to mentions, stole our breast milk to feed their own and had us taking care of their little voltures and leaving us to abandon our own!...

      What a thing!!!

    36. RunzwithScissors (29 months ago | reply)

      yeah -- she was probably someone who spat on me as a white child asking for equality for all during the Civil Rights movement. I do not wish her lying ass any Medicare at all.

    37. duckorange (29 months ago | reply)

      Poor, sad, wrong woman.

    38. ragby (29 months ago | reply)

      Such rubbish. She doesn't even know how pathetic this sort of statement is.

      This is some serious racist bullshit.

    41. archerland2005 (29 months ago | reply)

      Notice there's no African American faces in any of these mobs? Or Hispanic? Or Asian? And most of them look like they're retired and/or on Medicaid/Medicare themselves.

    42. JPMinagro (29 months ago | reply)

      I truly fear we are seeing the rise of a Nazi-like mentality and society gaining momentum in this country.

    43. QuietCommentator (29 months ago | reply)

      QueentoRule, you have so much anger in you that barely half is justified. Why, exactly, is he YOUR president??? You are wrong about Africa being the cradle of life, that was India. You are angry at the entire "white" race for things individuals did, in the PAST, which are not relevant to this "discussion". That "mob", archerland2005, did have just as many African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians as "white". PLENTY were young, and how, exactly, do people look when they are on Medicaid/Medicare?? Perhaps this particular lady was protesting President Obama himself, his ancestry, or his policies. We may never know. This sign is very confusing, and only one of thousands upon thousands upon thousands that marched Semptember 12th. I am truly sorry that many people think this march was a bunch of old, hypocritical, racist loudmouths. It was not, in any way, shape or form. They protested the takeover of secular progressive thought in the country, and the irresponsiblity of our elected officals. If there were a few (or more) racists individuals in the mass, then we should pray for them. NO ONE should be in any way have their skin color taken account of when being in the public square. P.S. I really despise the words "white" and "black" when refering to people. My skin is most certainly not white, and President Obama's skin is most certainly not black.

    44. j l t (29 months ago | reply)

      Wow, that's racist. She thinks all black people are Africans? My God.

      QuietCommentator, India may have been the cradle of civilization - although most people put that in Sumeria or Babylon - but the earliest cromagnon skeleton in India is almost 1.2 million years NEWER than similar skeletons found in sub-Saharan Africa.

      But then again, that's only if you live in an evidence-based world and believe in carbon dating. If not, go ahead and believe whatever reinforces your political dogma best, facts be damned.

    45. designck (29 months ago | reply)

      These racists are actually proud of themselves? And actually think they are clever? Seriously... our country is in trouble if we have this many many stupid bigots sliming their way around under the sewer-rocks of conservatism.

    46. jones2grl (29 months ago | reply)

      Ignorant people always make ignorant statements, they always go hand and hand.

    47. j l t (29 months ago | reply)

      well, not always. a lot of ignorant people are just smart enough to know their own ignorance; they usually shut up and try to figure out what's going on. only those who are both ignorant and prideful of that ignorance open their mouths and remove all doubt as to their ignorance.

    48. StrangerInStrangeLand (29 months ago | reply)

      @QuietCommentator
      it was better when you were quiet... you seemed much smarter then.
      who told you India was the cradle of life? you believe anything anyone tells you regardless of any evidence to the contrary, don't you?
      sad little Muppet.
