i don't care what side of the political spectrum you are on, we all have to agree that this conduct is unbecoming of ANY elected official.

Marilyn Davenport's Racist Email Denounced By OC GOP
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/1 ... 50063.html
Marilyn Davenport, a Tea Party activist and member of the Orange County Republican Party's central committee, is drawing fire from people in her own party after circulating a racist email depicting President Barack Obama and his parents as chimpanzees. In the email: "Now you know why — No birth certificate!"
The OC Weekly broke the story and were able to reach Davenport for comment. Her response:
"Oh, come on! Everybody who knows me knows that I am not a racist. It was a joke. I have friends who are black. Besides, I only sent it to a few people--mostly people I didn't think would be upset by it."
CBS interviewed former chairman of the California Republican Party Michael Schroeder, who says that this email is Davenport's third strike. He is calling for her resignation, citing two previous incidents in which Davenport defended the racist actions of two fellow Orange County conservatives.
The first was during President Obama's inauguration, when Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose forwarded an email depicting a watermelon patch on the White House lawn to several people. According to Schroeder, Davenport defended Grose amidst calls for his resignation.
Schroeder also says that Davenport defended Newport Councilman Richard Nichols when he opposed installing grassy areas at a beach. His reason, according to the L.A. Times: "with grass we usually get Mexicans coming in there early in the morning and they claim it as theirs, and it becomes their personal, private grounds all day."
The Huffington Post's calls to the Republican Party of Orange County were not immediately returned.
here is a pic of what she sent....disgusting...

Agreed. The email was just a stupid email, and anyone is capable of finding humor in something really tasteless. Enough is enough when the actions of politicians directly or indirectly rob and murder innocent people. That's something worth being outraged over and it happens every day.

I also believe people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson actually want and need it so they can stay in the spotlight.
