A Picture says it All

They were around but were they posted on SoWal? If so it was wrong.

I think calling the poster racist is beyond the pale. These photoshopped pictures are all over the place and I don't think they are taken seriously by most people. You just look, react then move on and forget it.

Lots of them are funny. I love the Purple Pimp Suit Bush picture. It's so silly and makes me laugh. It is not serious. But calling someone racist is very serious indeed. You should apologize.

Haha he said racist! That horse is long dead. Play a new card.

I was curious about what the answer to this would be, so I did a few advanced searches from 'one year ago & older' regarding former President Bush. I was quite shocked at what had been posted by the very same members who are now upset and complaining about the current posts that are not in favor with the current Administration. Endless vile threads for Bush/Cheney. The polarization is palpable.

Yes and these same people are on another thread complaining about all the mean posts at SoWal and can't we all just get along. They can dish it out but can't take it in.

I used to read National Lampoon back in the day, so I'm not easily offended by pictures and I love caricatures that make fun of political figures if they are done skillfully. I am mainly offended by people spreading lies and ignorance, (swiftboaters, birthers, deathers).

Thank you. "Racist" may be the most misused word in our vocabulary, today. It has lost as much meaning and impact as the "F" word. I wish people would go back and look at what it really means.

I happen to think Lucifer and Poppy both rock--throw in Bob, and you have the Sowal Holy Trinity, in my opinion.

Hey Crabbie...you can join them ....you are right up there with them.:shock:

I'm scratching you off my 100% recycled, hand made in the USA by overpaid union workers, Festivus card list.

I can't give thanks here any longer either. My thanks are on restriction, evidently. Oh well! Restrictions never stopped me before........

the south should apologize

I'd rather be a parfait. They have layers, too. That, and donkeys like them!

We send friends and visitors to this board, and I would be horrified if they saw threads like this and the "Obama is a gangsta rapper" or whatever the heck that other dumb thread was about- I don't understand defending material like this- it has no purpose other than to perpetuate a racial stereotype. While there may be some regular posters that think it is a hoot, I bet there is a very silent and invisible group that gasped like I did. I am proud to say that this sort of "humor" doesn't get laughs at our house.

Don't forget the 1, 2 punch!

It perpetuates a stereotype that's for sure, and it's not a good one that draws people to our area. :roll:

Canoehead is only a Sowal member because I made her join to prove that people did really write and believe such dumb things. Stuff like that just isn't said in her world.

I am certainly not saying that I have never said anything negative about Bush or Palin or other public/political figures (as we all know that is false) but there is a level to which we do not need to go. And that level is what we are unfortunately seeing more and more of.

Sorry Lucifer....you aren't one of a kind...you have a "wanna be" Lucifer called Poppy.

I would like to request that you stop complementing me.

She posted it because it was the POTUS in a stereotyped portrayal of black men and what's worse she was to lazy to fact check the photo before posting or more than likely consciously chose to remain ignorant.

I was thinking of something similar going the other way. All she did was brighten my day.

I think there is more than a "trinity" in here. There's a whole gang of goofballs, and we love ya'll! Keep it up!

If you think that...then you really don't know or understand me...complementing you...afraid not!

Y'all, it's compliment. You two could never complement one another. Just sayin'.
