OC Republican Circulates Racist Email: Obama and His Parents Are Apes

[one_voice]

Once again, a prominent Republican and Tea Party activist has been caught circulating a vicious racist email about the first African American President, this time in Orange County, California: Racist Orange County Republican Email: President Obama and His Parents Are Apes. http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2011/04/racist_orange_county_republica.php

The Weekly has obtained a copy of an email sent to fellow conservatives this week by Marilyn Davenport, a Southern California Tea Party activist and member of the central committee of the Orange County Republican Party.

Under the words, “Now you know why no birth certificate,” there’s an Obama family portrait showing them as apes. …
​
Reached by telephone and asked if she thought the email was appropriate, Davenport said, “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.”

Some other cases of Tea Party email racism:
Obama as a shoeshine boy
Obama as a witch doctor with a bone through his nose

1. This isn't the first time she's been caught in the racism net..

"This is a three strikes situation for Marilyn Davenport," Schroeder said. "She was a passionate defender of former Newport Beach city councilman Dick Nichols who stated that he was voting against putting in more grass at Corona del Mar's beach because, he said, there were already 'too many Mexicans on the beach.' She was also on the wrong side of the fence with the Los Alamitos mayor and his White House watermelon patch picture. Now, she has managed to top both of those incidents by comparing African Americans to monkeys. She has disgraced herself and needs to resign. If she doesn't, the Republican Party must remove her."

2. The reaction to such a "joke" would horrify most people

The fact that she thinks "it's just a joke" shows just how racist she is.

3. Let's see how many black friends she left after this nt

4. I'm not especially offended by this

chimps are actually very nice people and this looks like a handsome family. (partial sarcasm)

5. Ah, another moron.

They're everywhere, it seems.

6. Republicans are hitting the birther- racist line hard now because it is working in their base. Look

for more. The winner of the republican primary will be the one who uses this type of thing the most.

7. If anyone wants to leave a message you can find her phone and address on the net.

Her husband is Richard (Dick)
Find both of them with the same address and phone number and there you go.

(By the way, she lives in the neighborhood I grew up in. Right down the street from some high school friends.)
