The annual Mummers Parade in Philadelphia had a clever participant who scored with his Obamacare-inspired sign.
@michellemalkin @DLoesch Happy New Year! I found one person keeping their doctor in 2014 – Philly Mummers Parade http://t.co/96kDOy1bmz

Period!
Some, including the Philadelphia Inquirer’s theater critic, were looking forward to tying anti-Obamacare revelers with racist themes, but it looks like they were thwarted:
With only hours to go, time to figure out exactly *which* racist spin a mummers brigade will put on Obamacare at today's parade.

If you're playing 2014 #Mummers bingo with me, please add an Obamacare/witch doctor theme to your card. Got a hunch on this one.

@WendyRosenfield But it won't be racist, right? Right…?

@davidrobsonplay Any excuse to smear on blackface and put a bone through a nose. If that's racist, then…

I predict someone dressed as obama chasing around uncle sam with a spear set to an alvin and the chipmunks version of witch doctor. #mummers

We’re surprised we didn’t find any tweets accusing the Obamacare-mocking mummer of ‘greenface’ racism.
