    Default Political Cartoons/products have they gone too far??

    I came across these 3 different politicial cartoons/products by web companies. (In the interest of fairness I have ones put out to support both Candidates McCain and Obama)

    These are NOT connected to the campaigns...they have been put out by supporters. But the nature of them brings up serious questions...

    First those put out by Obama Supporters












    And on the interest of fairness one for the McCain Camp of supporters




    I will leave ultimate judgement up to you...as to which side has crossed a line....

    As for my opinion...
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    The Obama Waffles add...while its something that Id not like to see in politics....as I think American Politics has been way too "dumbed down" in the last 20 yrs.... can at least be seen as quasi-politically relevent... while the other two are simply offensive and indicitive of the people that support that candidate




    NOTE: I have since realized the origin of the (first two items...the Pro-Obama T-Shirts)....they are apperently from an two sepereate offensive T-Shirt companies. However, thats not where I found them... I found them, listed andput out by an Obama suporting group...

    Later I found the Obama waffles image and placed that as a contrast as to the nature of what is accepted as "fair game" by Political supporters.

    I felt it was necessary to explain the true origin of the images...as I have found them...but my point remains valid as the use of things such as these to make a political statement has gone way too far.

    I'm going to assume you got this off some offensive t-shirt website so does it really matter. I'd be more concerned with how the politicians themselves are running their campaigns then what some people that sell offensive t-shirts are doing to make money.
