Sock Monkey>Sick Monkey>Take Action


Since the original Obama Sock Monkey post is soon to drop off the list, I wanted to forward this link and encourage all to check it out:
http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/06/obama-as-a-sock-monkey.php

Please keep up the pressure on the perpetrators of this repugnant item to discontinue it, by sending civilized, modulated and coherent expressions of outrage to:

customerservice@thesockobama.com
(David and Elizabeth Lawson, the creators/sellers)

quotes@customplushtoys.com
(the contracted manufacturer)

Thanks for the link.

Well, I'm opposed to giving a public forum to this shit; but if folks are fired-up to attack racist obama products, please do something about these fuckers - they are unapologetic racists:

There are other offensive products out there. Do we *really* want to make a list and give these assholes free press? That's a serious question - I don't feel right posting links to this stuff. Do people around here really want to see it?

you can always post the address without giving them a backlink. Then if others want to see it, they can copy the url and paste it into their browser. it's a little more work, but it does less to legitimate the racists. posting an address without actively linking to it is my usual approach when i want to "report" something offensive without validating it. maybe it's a distinction w/out difference, but at least it won't boost their rankings in the google tubes.

How do you post an address without an active link? I'm new here, haven't figured this place out yet. Thanks.
