Man Holds Monkey Doll With Obama Sticker At Palin Rally (VIDEO)

CBS reports:

As the crowd cheered at a Sarah Palin rally this morning in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a man in the audience grinned as he held up a stuffed monkey doll with a Barack Obama bumper sticker wrapped across its forehead.

After Palin finished her remarks this morning, the man holding the stuffed monkey seemed to notice that a video camera was pointed at him, at which point he removed the Obama sticker from the doll's head and crumpling it up in his hand. He then handed the doll to a young boy who was watching the rally from his father's shoulders. The boy's parents later told CBS News that they weren't acquainted with the man who gave their son the stuffed monkey.

But in this video, the man is clearly proud of his work:

Wow, racism at a Republican rally. Who would have thunk it?

[BatedBreath]

yup, yup

[OkayLady]

Hmmm Racist enough to plan ahead to take the doll and the sticker, but not racist enough to be proud that your "message" is getting out to the biggest audience possible?

I'd bet a hundred dollars he is an organizer at the local level who's high enough to catch a backlash if it got out in the media he was encouraged to make such a display by the McKlan/Pale-in campaign.

When he saw that the cameras were on him, he tried to ditch the monkey by giving it to a little boy...COWARD!

beautifuldisaster,
Actually no, in another youtube video on Politico.com, he's holding it up and there's no embarrassment about his racism.

[white mende man]

Joe-few-screws-missing will be my guess

[drsmc41]

how, exactly, do you "look mentally challenged?" seriously, people with mental health issues come from all sorts of backgrounds.

as for this dude, he looks scary to me. as the parents, i would not have accepted the monkey from him.

[ErnestineBass]

Well...he is at a Palin rally.

[jolebo]

It will be good to see these good ole White christians in a few years; they sure will be proud of themselves.
