Very Interesting when the Beer swilling Archie Bunker types who post here on a regular basis go Politically Correct. Hypocrites! Get over yourself and find a sense of humor.....
Same idiots refer to Obama in private as a monkey....

His political affiliation is not the point. The guy is a crass and classless manipulator. You want to hurt him, don't buy the stuff he's selling. Why not mention Obama's manipulation of the Chevy Volt and his buddies Rev Wright, Bill "bomb thrower" Ayers and the host of other socialist revolutionaries that he surrounds himself with?

What a gig this guy has going. So many ethnic stereotypes for him to use. As long as there's a market for his stuff, he's going to keep on laughing all the way to the bank. Since he's so imaginative and everyone else is fair game, why hasn't he produced an ethnic Santorum t-shirt????

In 2007, complaints by Jewish groups over the company sales of Arabic keffiyehs (which had been marketed as "antiwar" scarves) led Urban Outfitters to stop carrying that item.
Urban Outfitters quickly issued a statement, "Due to the sensitive nature of this item, we will no longer offer it for sale. We apologize if we offended anyone, this was by no means our intention."
So far, no such respect or apology offered to the Irish for portraying them as a race of drunkards.
