The odd sight in the first picture above is the democrat party's Chris Coons and republican party tea partier Christine O'Donnell yuckin' it up as they claim to "bury to hatchet" following the Delaware U.S. Senate race (won by Coons). This is apparently some sort of weird Delaware political "tradition" (link to full story at bottom).
OK, so we already knew the tea party is supposed to be a bunch of racists, but the democrat party too? I mean, is this kind of ceremony really necessary or appropriate? There's nary a sports team in the country anymore (with limited exceptions) that is permitted by the Political Correctness Police to so much as have a Native American team name, but yet everyone just laughs it up at such a sight in Delaware?
I guess they felt they needed to truly "bury the hatchet" since Native Americans were violent savages who always went around hacking up people with hatchets all the time (which is obviously patently absurd and racist), and we don't want to see anything like that happen after a slimy political race? Posited another way, precisely what are they trying to express and prove here?
Or maybe it's just that it's OK to have such ceremonies in heavily democrat party states ("blue states") such as Delaware since everyone knows that true racism only exists in people who disagree with democrats? By the way, what do they do in Massachusetts following a political race -- smoke a peace pipe? How about over in Connecticut -- maybe a nice "retire the Indian giver" ceremony? Just pointing out the hypocrisy, folks, as always.
