Columbia Falls TEA Party Fails to Hide Racism

If you thought the offensive, racist antics from the U.S. presidential race were behind us, you haven’t been to Columbia Falls lately.  A racist slogan beloved by TEA Partiers was posted on a pawn shop sign, KTVQ reported, advertising one of the TEA Party’s favorite bumper stickers, which could be obtained within.  You can see a picture of the sign on the KTVQ website.

The sign and the sticker say “Don’t Re-Nigg in 2012″.   The word Re-nigg, which the dim bulbs that created the message seemed to think was a clever play on the word renege mixed with the racial epithet n*word, takes anti-Obama sentiment to a disgusting new level.

To be fair, the TEA party claims there are no racists in its ranks, so these are surely garden variety Republicans.

Of course, others have already pointed out that the bumper sticker being sold isn’t just offensive, but also really stupid.  That’s because if you ‘Don’t Renege in 2012′ it actually means you re-elect President Obama.  Perhaps the TEA Party figured this out, as the site selling the bumper stickers has been taken down and the Pawn Plus shop has changed its sign.
