All In "Good Fun"

The Tea Party candidate for Governor of New York sent these lovely images (via WNYMedia) around to friends:
When one of his correspondents was offended that Youtube (which is featured on white supremacist web sites) Tea Party candidate Paladino responded with this:
It's a fairly common refrain. I've heard it a million times. He doesn't believe he's a racist. But that doesn't mean he isn't one. Depicting President Obama and his wife as a pimp and prostitute, using the word "nigger" and portraying the president as a primitive tribesman rather than the Harvard educated lawyer he is isn't even the (no less immoral)unconscious racism that so often defines these tea partiers. This is just flat out blatantly racist.
Now that he is the official GOP nominee I wonder if the Tea Partiers and other conservative Republicans who voted for him, all of whom swear up and down that they don't have a racist bone in their bodies, will admit it?
