Senator calling for Corrine Brown to resign!

Me

[Dixie Pirate]

Just heard a Florida senator (possibly Ander Crenshaw) is calling for Corrine Brown to step down, citing her recent racist outburst as the reason.

[Peach]

Excellent! I think we should all send e-mails and phone calls requesting the same exact thing.

Her comments were an outrage and if it had been a conservative who had made them, there would have been calls for an immediate resignation.

Who can we call/write to support this call for resignation?

[Kibbylou]

I left a message of complaint at her office in Florida, (904)354-1652. That's not going to change the world, but it made me feel better.

[Dixie Pirate]

"Who can we call/write to support this call for resignation?"

I would think Ander Crenshaw would be a good starting point.

Corrine Brown ??? Who is she and why should I care?

[CPOSharky]

Betcha she calls the demand for her resignation "racist."

[Peach]

Great; thanks for the info.

[Dixie Pirate]

"Corrine Brown ??? Who is she and why should I care?"

Because she's a racist liberal and she's in office. You could help see her out... :-)

[freeangel]

Good luck Andy! But the fact remains that Democrats NEVER resign over racist or insensitive speech. That is only for Republicans.

[ainsley]

She said that whites and hispanics were all the same and you 'couldn't tell them apart'

[Elkiejg]

Crenshaw is a FL state senator and it's about time SOMEONE called for this pigs resignation. Here's Crenshaw's district:

Cities include Jacksonville (part), Fernandina Beach, Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Bryceville, Callahan, Hilliard, Macclenny, Lake Butler, Lake City, Jasper, Jennings, Lee, Madison, Greenville, Monticello, and Yulee.

[Sender]

Just for review:

Brown called the President's policy on Haiti "racist" and his representatives "a bunch of white men."

Noriega later told Brown: "As a Mexican-American, I deeply resent being called a racist and branded a white man," according to three participants.

Brown then told him "you all look alike to me," the participants said.

[PeteFromMontana]

If she had an R behind her name you'd stand a chance. The Democrats do not really care about minorities. They only use them to get votes.

[Sender]

Sounds like just more election 2000 sour grapes whining:

"It simply mystifies me how President Bush, a president who was selected by the Supreme Court under more than questionable circumstances (in my district alone 27,000 votes were thrown out), is telling another country that their elections were not fair and that they are therefore undeserving of aid or international recognition," Brown said.

[Dixie Pirate]

"Crenshaw is a FL state senator and it's about time SOMEONE called for this pigs resignation."

Nobody is calling for Crenshaw to resign. Contact him to get Corrine Brown ousted.

[jwalsh07]

Great! Compare this racist diatribe to Trent Lott's sins.

[b4its2late]

She sounds pretty darn racist to me......

[Extremist]

Remember the rabid outrage of the 'rats over Trent Lott's much less insidious remarks? Now note the utter lack of attention paid by the elite media snots at ms brown's flat out racist gibberish. This is a PERFECT example of the double standard an complete intellectual bankruptcy of our news organizations.

At least now I'm not as embarrassed that Texas is the home of Sheila Jackson Lee. She may not be the stupidest person in DC afterall.

[Sender]

Corrine Brown telling the Liberian community what racists we are.

[Tacis]

Mel Gibson should be thanking the lord for this racist democrat. If it had been a Republican who used the same words, every left wing media outlet in the country would stop talking about his flick while they were covering the screaming idiots clamoring for the Republican's resignation and dismemberment. But, since the words were spoken by a racist thug democrat, it is the ,edia equivalent of, "Move on folks, there is nothing to see."

Maybe she and Hillie can get together and tell Polish jokes!

[itsinthebag]

My sister and I called the following offices today to demand that someone step to the plate and demand Brown's resignation:

We called Corrine Brown's office in Orlando and Jacksonville, Florida and the offices of: Rep. Pelosi Rep. Rangle Rep. Maxine Waters Rep. Henry Bonilla Rep. John Lewis We have more on the list to call. We're just getting started.

[moonman]

She's a racist joke put upon us Floridians.

[Extremist]

I hope this doesn't sound racist, but she looks like Clyde from "Everywhich way but Loose" with a wig.

[Elkiejg]

Nobody is calling for Crenshaw to resign. Contact him to get Corrine Brown ousted.

My comment wasn't clear -- I was praising Crenshaw for calling for Brown resignation.

[jigsaw]

Which one is she? That all look alike.

[TomGuy]

A Pubbie will end up resigning instead of Brown, based on historical data.

[Lion in Winter]

Ander Crenshaw is a Congressman from Jacksonville. My late wife was distantly related to him.

[Dixie Pirate]

"she looks like Clyde from "Everywhich way but Loose" with a wig."

I think she looks like "Geraldine" from the Flip Wilson show... "The Devil made me do it!!!"

[tutstar]

She is trouble.

The Roll Call report, which cited two other pending investigations, depended on numerous unnamed sources.

Brown declined to comment yesterday. Recently, Brown said the investigation remained active only because Republicans hoped to use it against her this fall.

The ethics investigation against Brown stems from a $50,000 Lexus that Brown's daughter received from an African businessman facing a prison sentence.

Brown lobbied the Justice Department to deport the businessman rather than send him to prison. The man, convicted of trying to bribe customs officials to allow him to ship helicopters out of the country, went to prison.

After reports about the Lexus surfaced, Brown's daughter sold the car and donated the proceeds to charity.

Crenshaw is a REPUBLICAN.... he is NO pig! Get your facts straight!!!!!

[hosepipe]

[ I hope this doesn't sound racist, but she looks like Clyde from "Everywhich way but Loose" with a wig. ]

LoL....

[jslade]

Wrong! Clyde was better looking and had more brains.

[Extremist]

Just as happened in the memo hoopla. I only hope the Republicans will display more "nads" this time.

[mhking]

Works for me - I was discussing a piece with my editor at Project 21 today calling for her censure. Her resignation would be just as well.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[brooklin]

Most of us in the rest of the country, have never heard of this lady. We've got more than enough of our own problems to worry about.
Don't let the rats off easy though... make sure the media picks up on these rants.

[Buell_X1-1200]

"Right Turn Clyde"

[thegreatbeast]

Send the email to Brown! Tell her that she "has disgraced her race."

[floriduh voter]

bttt. works for me too. What's good for the goose should be good for the gander. (I don't mean to disparage geese in any way).

[BushisTheMan]

Here was another number listed on a previous thread

Ask to speak to her office. Make sure they record that you are wanting her to resign.

1-877-762-8762

[floriduh voter]

bttt and ping to #11

[river rat]

"...in my district alone 27,000 votes were thrown out..."

Judging by the intellect of the "voters" in this loony bird's district - it might be a better idea to throw the voters out of the country.....

How can one be expected to respect an idiot like this, or forgive them for being such insulting idiots?

The bigotry of the left is apparent, in that they don't EXPECT minorities such as this "congress critter" to live up to the standards they DEMAND from Republicans --- especially WHITE Republicans....

A POX on the A$$es....

Semper Fi

[floriduh voter]

Glad you're in here doing your thing.

[Chris Talk]

She is almost local here, not the brightest light in the chandelier to put it mildly, and a black racist elected from a badly gerrymandered district whose ONLY purpose and nature was to create a black district in N Fla.

If ANY district in the entire USA is unconsitutional, and ought to be done away with, it is this racist monstrosity in NE Fla.

Somebody post a map of it, it runs from Jacksonville to Orlando and includes every little black enclave in half the entire state, held together by running down the medians of interstate highways and including rivers but not their banks, that kind of thing, to keep from including non-blacks in it.

[rdb3]

Yeah, the bad wigged bigot needs to take a hike.

[floriduh voter]

Senate President Jim King, he's the disgusting pig. He's been feeding at the public trough for a long time.

[Chris Talk]

Please change heading. Mr Crenshaw is not a Senator but a Congressman from Florida.

[tutstar]

LOL, got to be here!!

That woman irritates me to no end...

[Dixie Pirate]

"Please change heading. Mr Crenshaw is not a Senator but a Congressman from Florida."

That is correct. Sorry about the improper address for the man. I was just in a rush to get out the word! :-)

[Extremist]

and a black racist elected from a badly gerrymandered district

You should have been here in Texas when the R's finally gained control and attempted to undo the horrid gerrymandering done by the historically dem-controlled legislature. You'da thought women, children and cattle were being raped and of course, no mention of prior re-districting was ever made in the press. Many hillbillies still think their rights were violated.

[savedbygrace]

The one with the bad wig.
