SC GOPers Defend DeMint for “Watching Our Nation’s Pennies” Like a Jew
Oh hi, here is your obligatory Racist Wingnut Email for the day. Except instead of being an email it is a guest column in a major newspaper from–where else–South Carolina, and instead of being racist it is anti-Semitic. Still, it’s more of the usual nonsense from the GOP.
Recently your newspaper published a letter from state Rep. Bakari Sellers attacking U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint and his opposition to congressional earmarks.
There is a saying that the Jews who are wealthy got that way not by watching dollars, but instead by taking care of the pennies and the dollars taking care of themselves. By not using earmarks to fund projects for South Carolina and instead using actual bills, DeMint is watching our nation’s pennies and trying to preserve our country’s wealth and our economy’s viability to give all an opportunity to succeed.
Oy gevalt, South Carolina GOP committeemen! I guess I’m just impressed that they didn’t go straight from “Jews are greedy” to “Obama is Hitler” in the same op-ed.
Ohio Police Dispatcher Discovers President Obama is Black
North Canton, Ohio, must be a pretty safe place to live considering that their police department dispatchers–i.e. the people responsible for receiving and prioritzing police emergency calls–have enough free time at work to send racist emails around while they’re on the clock:
In the message sent to an unknown number of recipients from a North Canton Police email address ( amalachowski@northcantonpolice.org ), Dispatcher Anita Malachowski forwards the message
“New “Air Force One” Tail Number and yes, please forgive me, I’m really sorry, I really, really tried not to laugh, but …………………..!”
The message is sent along with a Photoshopped image of Air Force One with the “N-number” or tail number spelled out as N166ER.
I’m no ethnologist, but that photo looks like it originally came from Papua New Guniea instead of anywhere in Africa. Compare the headdress. Not that such details matter to these racist fucks, because a darkie is a darkie, you know?
On Sunday night, Dr. David McKalip forwarded to fellow members of a Google listserv affiliated with the Tea Party movement the image below. Above it, he wrote: “Funny stuff.”
Now, Tea Party activists trafficking in racist imagery are pretty much dog bites man. But McKalip isn’t just some random winger. He’s a Florida neurosurgeon, who serves as a member of the American Medical Association’s House of Delegates.
Delegates to the American Medical Association are selected through their individual state and specialty societies, and their individual views and actions do not, in any way, represent the official view of the AMA. We condemn any actions or comments that are racist, discriminatory or unprofessional.
In the past several months Atwater City Councilman Gary Frago has sent at least a half-dozen e-mails to city staff and other prominent community members containing racist jokes aimed at President Barack Obama, his wife and black people in general.
In all, the Sun-Star obtained seven e-mails that Frago sent from October 2008 to February 2009 from an anonymous source.
Some compared Obama to O.J. Simpson while others suggested that “nigger rigs” should now be called “presidential solutions.”
Perhaps the most overboard e-mail was sent on Jan. 15. It read: “Breaking News Playboy just offered Sarah Palin $1 million to pose nude in the January issue. Michelle Obama got the same offer from National Geographic.”
Frago admitted sending the e-mails, but showed no regret. “If they’re from me, then I sent them,” he said. “I have no disrespect for the president or anybody, they weren’t meant in any bad way or harm.”
If Republicans are really interested in courting minority voters, maybe they should consider quitting the internet forever. In the meantime, here’s shorter Councilman Gary Frago:

Okay, so maybe the Iranian election was a teensy-weensy bit fraudulent. A spokesman for Iran’s Guardian Council announced that over 100% of eligible voters voted in 50 cities on Iran’s Election Day. (PressTV)

Shep Smith’s factually accurate report on scary wingnut email sent to FOX News has resulted in–SURPRISE!–more scary wingnut email sent to FOX News. And by the way, Shep, odds are that some of them really do hate you and want death on your family. (Media Matters/New York Times)
SHOCKING NEWS: noted sex fiend Senator John Ensign is less popular now than he was before admitting his long-term affair with an employee. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
Today Fox News’ Shepard Smith, who is quite possibly that network’s only sane, reasonable person, reported on the tragedy at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum earlier this afternoon. In particular Smith defended the Department of Homeland Security’s report earlier this year on the rise of right-wing extremism (which was not only largely ignored but resoundingly denounced by the conservative establishment) in a discussion with Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog. Check out the clips:
Smith then proceded to denounce a group of people who are becoming “more and more frightening,” a group of people who still believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim and that he is not a U.S. citizen. That is, a group of people known as Fox News emailers!
So now that Smith has outed some of Fox News’ regular viewers for the truly frightening crazies that they are, how long until loses his job? You know, in the interest of being fair and balanced?
“How can 2,000,000 blacks get into Washington, DC in 1 day in sub zero temps when 200,000 couldn’t get out of New Orleans in 85 degree temps with four days notice?”
Hahaha, right? And here comes the “apology”:
“I have been asked to send this apology for my earlier email. I am sorry that it was received in a negative manner. I do hope that we are going to be allowed to keep our sense of humor. As you can now see, it went to very few people. I did add Todd Marks in this apology, as he is in the mix now. I am also sorry to learn that some of these persons are not real team players. There really was no reason for this to go beyond those that I emailed ( 8 people). This was not an email blast as I do not have that capability.
Carol”
Shorter Carol Carter: I’m sorry that one of you jerks exposed my racism.
