Faith And Freedom Conference Features Obama Urinal Cakes


CATHERINE THOMPSON – JUNE 20, 2014, 1:02 PM EDT

Someone placed figurines shaped like President Barack Obama's head in a men's restroom at Friday's Faith And Freedom Coalition Conference.

The Huffington Post's Igor Bobic, a former TPM editor, spotted the figurines in the urinals:

At least White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer took it with a sense of humor:

Am I right?

I'll never forget those little dog-turd Bush flags DU thought was so hilarious back in the day.

ANYTHING can be turned around to shake your fists at the community.

Mercy. DU is hardly without sin, but my comment isn't calling for stones to be cast or scarlet letters to be donned.

I believe all great leaders and their parties employ this tactic. If memory serves Lincoln's closing statement in the Lincoln/Douglas debate was to step out from behind the podium and urinate on a Douglas effigy in full view of the crowd.

This is a perfectly mature, rational, and enlightened thing to do and in no way is meant to provide a childish thrill for the low brow uneducated masses that the GOP desperately needs to keep stupid so they will continue to prop up their "leaders".

It would not surprise me a bit to find that some of the folks happily peeing on these were at the head of the pack calling for his scalp.

There ought to be a list of every single one up for office in 2014 in attendance.

And we ought to hammer them over the head for not stopping it.
