Senator calling for Corrine Brown to resign!
Me

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
