Tennessee Hospitality Association CEO Sends Out E-mail Mocking Michelle Obama as Tarzan's Chimpanzee
Associated Content (AC) ^ | March 7, 2010 | Marc Schenker

Tennessee Hospitality Association CEO Walt Baker has sent out an e-mail mockingly comparing Michelle Obama to Tarzan's chimpanzee sidekick, Cheeta. In an e-mail forwarded by Walt Baker to 12 prominent Nashvillians on Thursday, in what he originally called political humor, there was an unflattering picture of Michelle Obama, whose face was in a certain expression, right beneath a chimpanzee which seemed to be making the exact same facial expression. Additionally, Michelle Obama was the butt of the joke in the same e-mail in a comparison to chimpanzee Cheeta, after it was said that she went on to marry a lawyer and now lives in the White House. Originally intended by Baker privately for only a small circle of high-powered friends, the political humor-e-mail was exposed by a race-baiting journalist from the Nashville Scene, potentially harming Tennessee's tourism industry, according to some commenters.

“If the Tennessee Hospitality Association is a state agency then this guy is using state (govt) equiptment for personal use and he should be fired.”

Give him an award and a raise!

I had that email in my inbox this morning and proudly sent it on. I think back to the chimp poses compared to GW Bush and feel no remorse.

Sadly, the poor idiot apologized. Never apologize. Now he’s lost his job, and I’m SURE some so-called FReepers are going to just be THRILLED about that.

Honestly. NEVER surrender to the KGB (King God Barack). He’s the one making his wife look like a chimp.

This is shameful.

Can’t you people see that the poor chimp is a white redneck cracker. Imagine how embarrassed that chimp must feel. First he’s compared to Bush and now this... it must be mortified!

In other words... freaking big deal.

Oh freedom of speech is o.k. if it’s the ‘progressives’, but not for anyone else, eh?

All the democRat sites named Bush “The Chimp” and showed pictures of him morphed as a chimp. Why is this any different?

Funny how ‘Rats racist remarks are swept under the rug- yet let a Republican utter something and all h*ll breaks loose.

For instance Howard Dean’s remark

“You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room?,” Dean asked to laughter. “Only if they had the hotel staff in here.”

And Harry Reid’s remark

Senate majority leader Harry Reid said Obama had a chance of winning because he was both “light-skinned” and didn’t speak
(Reid didn’t get fired)

Or Clinton’s about ‘a while ago he (Obama) would be getting our coffee.

Bush was a player, Obama is a player, Michelle Obama technically isn't one. Personally, I think she ought to be left alone because of that, even if it strains credulity to pretend she isn't.

There is a profound difference.

Conservatives are not intimidated by name calling and being likened to primates. Whereas, liberals are not at all sure they can distinguish between themselves and monkeys. In fact they claim them as ancestors.

Referring to a liberal as a primate is insulting because it is too close to their version of the truth.

Calling a conservative a monkey is humorous because it is ridiculous in the extreme.

She thinks Americans suck. Just look at the anger seething from her. Shes a Jeremiah Wright girl through and through.

Thats not fair. Cheeta was better looking and was a good actor. Michelle is a disaster on all fronts.
