AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas Republican Party is telling a vendor who sold campaign buttons that it considers racist at a state convention over the weekend that he's no longer welcome.
The head of the Texas GOP says it will "neither tolerate nor profit from bigotry."
The buttons asked, "If Obama is president ... will we still call it the White House?" Jonathan Alcox says he was trying to be funny and based the button on a political cartoon. He describes himself as an independent who may vote for Obama.
But the Texas Republican Party doesn't see the joke. Besides banning Alcox from its future conventions, it's alerting the Republican National Convention about him. And officials say the $1,500 vendor's fee he paid to sell at the state convention is being donated to Midwest flood victims.

They're going to have a bit of a problem this year. Every racist including ones who haven't voted will be running to the polls as a republican. This is a little suspicious with him being an independent who may vote for Obama. He may have thought he was being a clever agent provocateur. But I'm sure they're there and this guy knew it.

Well, credit given where credit is due. Also, nice action on their behalf to donate his booth fee to the flood victims.
