Sheila Jackson Lee accuses GOP of "racism" for using her photo in an email message

US Congress website of her heinous ^ | 6/26/03 | Sheila Jackson Lee press release

[jackd]

Perhaps to look at her interpretation another way: Isn't it possible that someone looking at the poster may think that the Republicans were trying to ATTRACT black voters. Isn't this also showing that Republicans are a party of unity and not racially separtist as the idiot Democrats try to depict all Blacks?

[votelife]

thanks for showing us what were up against!

"Will that little mars rover drive by where the Astronauts landed?" Shiela Jackson Lee

[Diddle E. Squat]

The proper response is that we are not playing the 'race card', we are playing the 'idiot card'.

[ladyinred]

Why in the world would Ms. Lee consider using her picture racist? Does she not want people to know she is black? Does it not occur to her that perhaps it isn't her color that is offensive, but her socialist politics?
She is one of the biggest racists on the earth herself.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Dang, ya beat me to it.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

So, what's she saying is that her face is scary...?

Wardaddy accuses Shelia Jackson Lee of:

Being stupid and dogfood ugly!!

It is funny isn't it how she always muscles up to kiss W's butt when he comes down the aisle for televised speeches.. ...wating hours we're told to hold her spot in line....she's a piece of work...only slightly less nauseating than Maxine or Hellary.

I do not believe for a minute that everyone to whom this e-mail was directed knows that is a picture of the Congresswoman from the 18th District

Well Ms. Racemonger Lee (who needs a chauffer to drive her two blocks to her office) if that is so, it speaks poorly of how well you represent the 18th district. GET OVER YOURSELF. Constantly accusing the GOP of playing the race card is wearing a bit thin.

Houston ping!

Also, did any of you save a copy of the original email that Sheila is so upset about? I deleted it after a good laugh yesterday. It would be nice to have a copy for other freepers to see.

Is the legislature in special session?

[jackd]

OOOOOPPPPPSSSSSS! I am sorry I wrote that last reply before looking at that picture. Are y'all sure she's not from Mars?

What political parties exist on Mars? (remind me never to vote there)

[GOPcapitalist]

wating hours we're told to hold her spot in line

I was told by a GOP congressman from another state that during the last State of the Union she arrived to stake out her spot sometime around 4:30-5:00 PM. I think the speech started at 9 or 10.

Is the legislature in special session?

It is getting ready to go into one (I think it starts monday). They didn't get to do redistricting in the regular session thanks to the Ardmore incident. So the governor just called a special session to do it.

[sarasmom]

Nice to see a photo.
I live in Florida, and I know who Sheila Jackson Lee is!
Good grief, one would think she would welcome any publicity,as she thinks she is sooo important in the grand scheme of things!

[rwfromkansas]

Are they going to do something to keep Dems from bolting?

[anncoulteriscool]

But will Jackson-Lee get a limo ride to the meeting? LOL!

Is the legislature in special session?

Begins Monday June 30th..........

[GOPcapitalist]

Please tell me that redistricting will give us the chance to get this effing b*tch out of office!

Unfortunately no. She's in one of those "protected" majority-minority seats that ALWAYS elects a Democrat and, to date, has ALWAYS elected a Democrat from the socialist lunatic fringe of that party. It's first rep. was suspected lesbian and left wing extremist Barbara Jordan (better not say anything bad about her though because she is popular to worship these days as a "civil rights hero"). After her it was won by a communist druggie of the Ron Dellums mold named Mickey Leeland (but you can't say anything bad about him either because he was "martyred" in a plane crash in Africa). Next came Craig Washington, a lazy left wing nut who went to Washington to occupy an office then decided that actually showing up on the floor wasn't part of his job description. Then Queen Sheila came along and ousted him in the 'rat primary thanks to heavy financial support from Ken Lay of Enron infamy.

"That's exactly the thing. How Sheila could think that the recipients of that email (practically ALL of whom are politically active republicans in the Houston area) could not know it was her is outright absurd."

You're right. She knows that all or most of the recipients of that mail know exactly who she is.

Unlike most Democrats, Republicans follow the news.
