Republicans play the race card again

A Republican National Committee online game that challenges players to spend trillions of dollars had to be taken down because of its racist content. Players could purchase conservative items for sale such as sexually explicit, anti-Semitic and anti-Latino items.

The game was designed to drive home to Young Republicans how much could be purchased with the $3.4 trillion President Obama requested in his budget. Players could charge everyday items to their “Obama Card.”

Type in the word “Jew” and you’ll find the book “The Jews and Their Lies” for sale right next to “Cool Jew: The Ultimate Guide for Every Member of the Tribe.”

Interested in reading about Latinos? A search on the website turns up “The Latino Threat” or, for something less ominous like “Latino Talent.”

And while the words “gay” and “vagina” are banned search terms, yielding a response of "Bad word!", homosexual will find you the book “Loving Homosexuals as Jesus Would.”

RNC spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said the website pulls its inventory from Amazon.com, but developers didn’t realize that Amazon stocked offensive items most of which were written by Republicans.

The liberal website Americablog was one of the first to report on the GOP website and searched all kinds of naughty words, including bondage and escorts, which yielded suggested purchases including handcuffs, how-to-books and Astroglide.
