Obama-Curious George Tee an Instant Cobb County Classic
From Tyler Gray at RadarOnline.com

"Non-racists in Cobb County, Georgia, must be so proud of their national media hits, especially when one involves a Marietta bar owner hawking a T-shirt depicting Barack Obama as a monkey. No word whether its creator, Mulligans proprietor Mike Norman, got the idea to adorn a mock Barack shirt with the image of Curious George from listening to Rush Limbaugh or if it was just a side effect of a life lived with his head up his ass..."

7. Why are we always confused with fucking Georgia?

This shirt was in Georgia not West Virginia.

Just like Deliverance was set in Georgia, not West Virginia.

Somehow, we get punished for all of Georgia's sins.

2. I don't care if racists think I'm elitist.
And you know, honestly, that's what a lot of this comes down to.

11. I'm afraid most of these racists could neither spell nor define "elitist."
I think they just fear the black man. That, and karma.

4. These people are an integral part of the Democratic party. Your elitist mockery
of these jackass racist backwards moonshine-addled Georgia-peach cousinfuckers really hurts this party.

6. Cobb county. Home of Newt, Bob Barr, the only city in America
with a mandatory gun ownership statute, a vibrant KKK community, and the biggest bunch of conservative wankers this side of WV.

16. I wrote to HMH and thanked them for looking into a lawsuit.
I also added that they should sue this guy into permanent bankruptcy and make a public spectacle of it.
