They’ve since taken it down, but here is what the page looked like (h/t Think Progress):
And “related searches” had the words “Arab costume” and “terrorist”. It must make some in the McCain campaign happy that if you repeat something often enough, no matter how false it may be, it gets into the cultural bloodstream.
Thank for posting that, I will never buy anything from Amazon!
Oh Sarah, you go girl! Loved it.
Doug, here’s syntax you might understand.
You are a fascist in favor of totalitarian dictatorship, and a socialist economy that favors the wealthy. You are anti-education, anti-immigrant, anti-middle class, and anti-opportunity.
You back a party that’s identified with domestic terrorists like the KKK, abortion clinic bombers, and right-wing, anti-government militia groups. Your party is in the back pocket of the NRA, which seeks to put guns in the hands of little children.
You back a party that’s working in tandem with corrupt, homophobic, racist, pro-assassination religious leaders who seek to turn this country into a theocracy, and they threaten their parishioners with excommunication or damnation to hell for all eternity if they exercise their independent right to vote for the other candidate.
Obama, even if he actually were the things you liars say about him, could not be one whit scarier than what your Republican Party members have become.
Yet another reason I do not shop at Amazon. They also do not support the military overseas because they will not ship items to overseas military post offices.
Great comeback!!! So you support a Presidential hopeful who hangs with Domestic terrorists, racist pastors, crooked community organizations?? You want me to come to my senses. That halarious!!! Look in the mirror, our founding fathers would be real proud of you! We don’t need the tourist dollar A-hole, we need our own. Don’t get your Florida comment, I am going to Disney next year. Anyway I do agree it looks like Obama will win. The Muslim’s are licking their chops!! Hope your happy. You are a real American!!

This has effectively solidified my decision NEVER to shop at Amazon again. This is disgusting! Do they have a mask of McCain/Palin with the description “anti-american secessionist” $49.95 showing 2 results.

“They should have an Obama Muslim cleric costume as well. With a little stick of dynamite protruding from the backside. With a real fuse.”
Yet another comment from the Party of Hate: threatening the life of a candidate.
I’ve yet to see anything of the sort — death threats, lies about religion, slurs — on the progressive blogs directed toward Palin and McCain.
But the Party of Small Minds, No Nothings, Bigots and Liars (otherwise known as the Republican Party)? Slurs and threats are their middle name.
Which is yet another reason the majority of Americans are voting Democratic — they’re sick of you people: your hate, your inability to govern, your deifying of ignorance and lies.
Go back to your burrow and mutter to yourself — decent people want no part of your disgusting hate speech.

Oh, and when the elections rout Republicans, know you are the reason.
You may comfort yourself with lies, but the truth is the American people are tired to death of your sickness.

Sen. Ted Stevens should get a mask like this. He might’ve looked better to the jury, which just found him guilty on all counts.
Quite a bunch of mavericks they got up there in Alaska. And every one of them with no regard for the rule of law.

While this was listed “on” Amazon, it wasn’t sold by them. It was sold by an independent vendor using Amazon as the listing service. Amazon’s involvement was similar to what eBay’s might have been for running the same listing. Amazon wouldn’t have known about this coming up with a “terrorist costume” search path until someone complained.
If you currently do an Amazon search for “terrorist costume”, you get returns for several books and … drum roll, please … a companion John McCain mask.
John McCain: terrorist? We’ll see how long that one lasts.
Search eBay for “Obama” and mixed in with the usual pedestrian stuff are some interesting things. I’ve got my eye on an “Obama talking bobble-head” or an “Obama super hero action figure”. A very busty lady is modeling Obama tee shirts. Oy vey!!!
Ebay must be watching their Obama stuff closely since only a couple of nasty things pop up.

The man is already hiding behind a mask of dishonesty.
The Community Organiser is no terrorist, but he has a few friends that currently qualify. This individual is a behind the scenes black agitator of the worst kind. Unscrupulous in his motivations and a dangerous adversary against freedom in the USA. A security background check would discount this individual from holding a sensitive post in all but a few companies or organisations. Two obvious exceptions are, doorman at one of the infamous Acorn Offices or maybe passing the plate at Rev Wrights Church for the Mentally Challenged.
When this candidate says on TV to a member of the public, ” I want to spread the wealth around”,
Jittery Joe Biden, responds to a question relating to the same subject, “He is not going to spread the wealth around”
These two idiots are not on the same page now and Biden and Clinton were certainly not on the same page as Obama in the lead up.
Both Biden and Clinton were adamant that Obama was a risk because of his lack of experience. Is there a recent release on the bookstalls called Experience for Dummies that I haven’t heard about?

No Justin ,
But there are a few t-shirts about saying Sarah Palin is a Cxxx.
Get a life you imbecile.

Obama is a terrorist. He is a Socialist, a communist and hates America. He hangs with racist’s, terrorists and will forge relationships with leaders who want to kill Americans. When the crap hits the fan you’ll come running to the right to protect you.

I hope you will come to your senses when you see how America votes.
I suggest you stop saving to buy that new shotgun/SUV/ATV/sattelite dish and actually travel somewhere (not Florida)…
Maybe try to read (not the Enquirer/Tom Clancy)
Good luck to you.
After the election, and a Democratic victory, things will improve…you’ll see…
You might even get the odd tourist dollar, for a change
