And this wasn't some obscure gathering either. It was the so-called "values voter" meeting, which featured such conservative leaders as serial adulterer Newt Gingrich and flip-flop king Mitt Romney.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080913/ap_on_el_pr/obama_waffles"WASHINGTON - Activists at a conservative political forum snapped up boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap.
Values Voter Summit organizers cut off sales of Obama Waffles boxes on Saturday, saying they had not realized the boxes displayed "offensive material." The summit and the exhibit hall where the boxes were sold had been open since Thursday afternoon."and here's the CYA:
"David Nammo, executive director of the lobbying group FRC Action, said summit organizers were told the boxes were a parody of Obama's policy positions but had not examined them closely."OK, so it's just some obscure vendor and the organizers of the event had no control and can't be expected to see everything.
"Wearing white chef's aprons, Whitlock and DeMoss were doing a brisk business at noon Saturday selling the waffle mix to people crowded around their booth. Two pyramids of waffle mix boxes stood several feet high on the booth's table."Whoops!
It's funny how, after decades of ridiculing feminists and women and hiding under the flag of fighting so-called "political correctness," the GOP would have us suddenly believe that, due to nominating Palin, they're the real party of inclusion.
But, fear not, backwoods bigots still have a home in the party of McBush!
