I, personally, always find it funny that conservatives and people on the right can be called wingnuts, accused of having no brain power, oh and let's not forget when all else fails, trot out the tried and true "slander the Christians" rhetoric, yet whenever something is said about a person like Obama, or indeed anyone on the left, it seems, oh instantly it's evil, racist, terrible, mean-spirited... Speaking of double standards, anyone...? Amen, Hambo.

H. O.'s ears. This term has been floating around in cyberspace for several months now. It is ubiquitous on the Politically Incorrect Gazette. "Uncle Jemima" originated, I think, on the Politically Incorrect Gazette. This bit of alleged humor - I plead guilty to perpetrating it - is our reaction to the sight of B. H. O. in that ceremonial African garb. He looked like he was in 'chef' mode and we blurted out "Uncle Jemima" If that's sinister, so be it. If you detect rampant racism in it. That's in your fevered brains, no PIG's. Hambo Editor, The Politically Incorrect Gazette. FYI:

You don't need to make up silly nicknames or acronyms. All you need to do is repeat phrases like "the bible says gay people are evil" and you can get away with being a homophobe. Or tell little stories about some personal experience (real or not) like "a black person once stole my friends wallet" and then you can get away with hating all blacks. If only the world was that simple. It really doesn’t take any creative talent to be a righty blogger- and it’s just kind of embarrassing when they try.

Could not have said that better myself. Wished I had actually. BTW, I think "O'Dumbo" is a reference to the size of Barack's ears and his apparent problem with that growing up. Might also mean he's a stupid librul. Take your pick. These guys learned absolutely nothing in '06. “Personally, I think Tom is stretching his creative talents past their limit.”
