LOS ANGELES — A Southern California Republican Party official was under fire yesterday after allegations she sent an email that included an altered photo depicting President Barack Obama as an ape.
An email reportedly sent by party central committee member Marilyn Davenport shows an image, posed like a family portrait, of chimpanzee parents and child, with Obama's face artificially superimposed on the child. Text beneath the photo reads, "Now you know why no birth certificate."
Davenport, when reached by The Associated Press, said she would provide a written statement with her response, but several hours later she had not issued one.
The alternative newspaper OC Weekly first reported the story, and was told by Davenport that the e-mail was "just an Internet joke." She also asked the Weekly, "You're not going to make a big deal about this are you?"
The OC Weekly later reported that Davenport issued a statement in which she denied race played a role.
"I simply found it amusing regarding the character of Obama and all the questions surrounding his origin of birth,"

Thus the occasional "accident" which just happens to conveniently fit the pinko-commie-lib(TM) GOP meme, which is actually an act of subterfuge.
You must be unaware of the extreme sensitivity of blacks to being compared to monkeys. I know, I know, supposedly we are all descended from apes, but nonetheless, if this idiot is involved in politics, s/he shouldn’t be.
Stupid move, pure and simple, regardless of motive.
See, that’s where the sensitivity is based, on “we’re all descended from apes”.
This assertion as well as the assumption that some races are “closer” to apes or less evolved, as Darwin outright stated,
is what is the cause of the false double standard.
Therefore, it is the fallacious social construct. You jumped right to my point, though, when you stated the Darwinian assumption that is the basis for this construct.
“Leaving out the baseless social constructs, why is this worse than doing the same thing to Bush?”
Because it wasn’t true?
I always thought ethics investigations were for corruption. This sounds more like an opinion thing. What we used to call free speech.
Being free from consequences for saying idiotic things is NOT a right protected under the 1st Amendment.
This idiot should have been slapped down in 2009 when she sent out a DIFFERENT e-mail with an image of the White House lawn growing watermelons.
This idiot has every right to be an idiot, but she is obviously too stupid (and racist) to represent the party.
Well he’s made a monkey out of this economy and everything else.
Ethics investigations sure are getting broad. Just sayin’.
Never. Back. Down.
So it’s okay for them to do thousands of Bush as an ape but not Odumbo. Whatever, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I think he looks like Curious George, but I also know a 100% white kid that looks like Curious George.
Oh please, it’s buying into that PC BS that got us where we are now. It’s just a tool to control. Classic Alinsky. I never really was part of the PC crowd and I’m done with any aspect of being PC since we have the biggest racists on the face of the earth squatting in the White House.
Wouldn’t it be great if for once our side’s statement went something like this...”Hey lefties, piss off”
_______________
YES, it would.
Agree!
Simply call them on it.
Oh! That’s the standard Alynski tactic of trying to make your opponent fear being labeled so he’ll shut up and stop persuing the truth! How cliche!
No...You’re right.
This woman’s brilliant plan to recruit California Republican candidates and get them elected is working flawlessly.
