Your Tax Dollars at Work: Tennessee GOP's Racist Email
Patriot Room ^ | 6-16-09 | Scott Martin

Note to Tennessee Republicans: You aren't helping things!

"Newscoma posted details of a racist email sent from Sherri Goforth, legislative aid for Sen. Diane Black (R-Gallatin). The email depicts the Presidents of the United States with President Barack Obama as a pair of eyes in a black background.

I spoke with Sherri Goforth minutes ago to confirm she sent this email. She confirmed she had sent it and also said she had received a letter of reprimand from her superiors but said she will stay on the job."

She's going to keep her job? This is appalling. And it just goes to show how incompetent and unresponsive government is to its constituents. Now, I have no expectations of elected officials and the people they hire with public funds to work for them, beyond mediocrity. I am pleasantly surprised when I encounter someone with a pulse who isn't trying to regulate me or take my money. But the despair must be difficult beyond belief to Democrats like the following blogger, who actually expects excellence out of government...

I will give a rats butt about all these cries of racism, when the same standard is applied to liberals.

Um, this is a taxpayer subsidized employee using her work time to send racist emails. I would hope we would all give a rats ass about it.

What do you think ACORN does? Where does all their money come from???? If this was a Democrat, it would not be a story.

I guess this sin rates right on up there with the club wielding black panther wannabees that hung outside the Philadelphia “Guild House” being used for election polls telling every whitey “You gonna be ruled by the black man now, cracker”. Doesn’t it? Where’s the outrage there? I think I’ll pass on this one.

People on our side who do stupid stuff like this need to be smacked down. It's hard to say that's not who we are when we don't demand that people like this lose their job, just as many of us demanded that Letterman (who is not paid with taxpayer dollars) lose his.

But the power of ACORN is increasing, being feed billions of dollars with stimulus money, will be getting billion more to corrupt the census, and will be feed billion more in under the table deals that will never be discovered. Someone sending a sick email cost us about a dime.

I love it when newbies cry the loudest about something a republican does.

Too bad...

Obama is only 12 percent black and he is a racsist.

I guess all of the caricatures of Bush as a chimpanzee or a mental simpleton were ok. If someone just makes a cartoon that is remotely racist around the edges its hell to pay. Democrats are such hypocrites.

I object to the newbie label - been a strong conservative all my adult life, since 1993 - and I’ve been pretty regular here for a year.

But I can see what isn’t appreciated here. Message received.

Object all you want, who gives a damn, not me.

I tire of posters/bloggers reporting meaningless tripe.

My money says you are not a conservative, but a RINO.

AMEN! And very publicly, so those not-quite-decided about conservatives can see that we are for real standards.

I fail to see what is racist about this.

Racial, yes. But racist? No way.
