Woman Assaulted After Wearing Obama T-Shirt
July 18th, 2008 | Author: Anthony Springer Jr
A 25-year-old woman in New York City is suing the designer of an anti-Barack Obama t-shirt after she was assaulted while wearing one of his controversial t-shirts.
The woman, who has not been identified, purchased a shirt with the words “Obama is My Slave” shirt for $69. While wearing the shirt this past Tuesday, she was assaulted by four girls, who pushed her down, pulled out her earphones, and spit in her face according to the New York Metro News.
Apollo Braun—the Israeli born designer who made the shirt—is now saying the victim of the attack is trying to sue him for “all he’s got.”
Braun claims that his designs reflect the views of “ordinary WASPs (White Anglo Saxon Protestants).”
“For a lot of people, when they see Obama, they see a slave. People think America is not ready for a black president,” Braun told Metro.
In addition to the “Obama Is My Slave” tee, Braun has also designed shirts with the following slogans: “Jews Against Obama,” “Obama=Hitler,” and “Who Killed Obama?”
The latter shirt, Braun says, is the most popular.
Braun says the only thing he likes about Obama is that he’s black because his ethnicity “opens the door for minorities.” He also says he doesn’t like Obama because “he is a Muslim” and “he reminds me of Adolf Hitler.”
The Muslim rumor has already been debunked.

#1 link or newssource please. Never mind, found it
#2 I hope Mr. Braun remembers the true meaning of Passover when and if he celebrates it with his family. Possibly also "ordinary WASP's".
#3 The absurdity of attempting to sue the maker of a patently offensive and hateful T-shirt when you obviously were insensitive and stupid enough to pay $69 for it and then wear it in public is possibly the only source for some welcome relief in the form of dark, dark humor in this whole ridiculous story.
#4 Where is "Down in the Basement" when you really need him?

MrLuigi, my cat, actually only types half as badly as I do.
Uh....
This story has already been debunked.
Well the attack has been . . .
but the doofus trying to capitalize on his race-baiting tees it seems is all too real.
