The world in black and white
Apparently there’s no depth to which they won’t stoop. This button, “If Obama is president … will we still call it the White House,” was for sale at the Texas State Republican Convention. Republicanmarket paid the state party $1500 for the right to have a booth and sell its products at the gathering.
When called on the overt racism, this is what the vender had to say: “It’s just been crazy,” said Jonathan Alcox, who runs republicanmarket.com and had buttons and other items for sale at the GOP gathering. “The point is we made a mistake. I realize that now. And I apologize.”
Now he realizes he made a mistake? From what I can see, the only mistake he’s concerned with is the bad publicity he’s gotten over the matter.
The Texas Republican Party has promised to donate the money to charity. Meanwhile, who knows how many people are walking around the state wearing them.
