Since Tea Party activists can no longer channel their racist hatred for President Obama by depicting him as a chimp, the Patriot Freedom Alliance has decided on a new creature: a skunk.
The Kansas-based group last week posted a picture of the malodorous mammal on its website, with the caption, "The skunk has replaced the eagle as the new symbol for the president. It is half black, it is half white, and almost everything it does, stinks."
The not-so-subtle reference to Obama's race garnered a swift reply from the local NAACP group, which called the skunk bit a "blatant statement of racism."
"You would think that an organization that claims to be about patriotism and what this country is supposed to stand for would have a better way of expressing it than what they're doing," said leader Darrell Pope.
