Now I am Pissed


Ok......I am seriously pissed. I picked this story up via Huffington Post and then the whole story on PE.Com: http://www.pe.com/localnews/inland/stories/PE_News_Local_S_buck16.3d67d4a.html.

View what has me pissed here or scroll down: Someone find this woman.

Throughout all of the racial rhetoric and pretenses, Fox News, the "code words" and ignorant people on the news and videos every day, the African American community has rolled with it. Tried to be "stronger" than that, to be "above" the fray. And it has been that way for a many many years now, as we....many of us, made specific goals to change the minds of our peers and fellow countrymen.

For those of you that "get it", I am glad and we can sit back and drink a beer and talk politics, women, men, and life in general anytime.

But this shit right here? This right HERE? This is diving over the line with a live grenade stuffed down your throat.

THIS makes me want to hop on a plane and go "see" someone:

The latest newsletter by an Inland Republican women's group depicts Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken, prompting outrage in political circles.

The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated says if Obama is elected his image will appear on food stamps -- instead of dollar bills like other presidents. The statement is followed by an illustration of "Obama Bucks" -- a phony $10 bill featuring Obama's face on a donkey's body, labeled "United States Food Stamps."

The GOP newsletter, which was sent to about 200 members and associates of the group by e-mail and regular mail last week, is drawing harsh criticism from members of the political group, elected leaders, party officials and others as racist.

She goes on to say
:
"It was strictly an attempt to point out the outrageousness of his statement. I really don't want to go into it any further," Fedele said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "I absolutely apologize to anyone who was offended. That clearly wasn't my attempt."

Seriously....Diane Fedele......Save the Planet: Kill Yourself.
