"Obama" picture in mailer, with "America must look evil in the eye and never flinch" message overlaid on it: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/images/2008-10-16-evil-eye-1-300.jpg

Look at the above two pictures side by side. If you can't see the obvious perfect overlaps in eye and eyebrow structure, fear not. Here's an image overlay of the two right on top of each other, courtesy of TPM: http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/images/obl-mailer2-mainblog.jpg
Despicable. Absolutely despicable and shameless.

That is a little far. I have seen a post on here today of a little girl flipping the bird, and the mylotter dogging the Obama supporters because of this, but man, that is a little far. That is brinking discrimination, which is painful, and uncalled for. Were those reallys sent out? I am still astonished by what is going on. You would think that ok this is a presidental election a little mud is going to get slung, but My God they just jumped in the puddle with a Dozer!!!
That's a little hard to swallow. I mean honestly let's not try to make anyone become completely discriminated against, this is a presidental debate. I think that a little bit of mud should be removed from something like this. I still can't believe that it would actually been sent out. People still have to live, and comparing someone with Obama Bin Laden is no way to make yourself look better.
I am very glad that you have shown this, so that others may be able to see what you have seen. I think that you have a wonderful discussion and will continue to look out for your new items. Great discussion.
