Discussing the Diaspora as seen through an internal Black lens
Obama Spook Email
June 22nd, 2009
Tennessee Republicans are at it again. Does my state’s Republican Party’s racism know any bounds?
I’m mean, it’s not like the racism is surprising; but how public they are with it is something else. Why don’t they just openly endorse the Klan at this point?
If you’ll recall last year a Tennessee RNC member sent a cd to party committee members with a song entitled “Barack the Magic Negro”; and and then there was the party’s official “Hussein” press release that contained anti-muslim religion baiting, and fear mongering.
Recently we’ve gotten this:
The Obama ’spook’ adventure
From the NashvilleScene.com:
You might say Sherri Goforth, an executive assistant for state Sen. Diane Black, has an interesting sense of humor. Late last month, she sent out a mass email with the subject line “Historical Keepsake Photo.” It contained a collage of U.S. president photos. But where Barack Obama should have been, it merely showed a pair of spooked white eyes against a black background. Get it? Spooked?
When the email came to light, Goforth launched into swift backpedaling. She didn’t actually apologize for sending the email from a state computer. She did, however, apologize for sending it to the wrong group of people—people who apparently didn’t get her sense of humor…

Wow. That’s amazing. I thought that the Obama Flip flop waffles by Focus on the Family were over the top, but the Republicans always seem to one up themselves. I hope someone is collecting these things for historical documentation of the Republican Party’s ongoing racist vendetta against the nation’s first black president.
The MSM outlets are all a bunch of sycophants.
Please check out my take on all the photo ops, and stick around for more good content.

You got to admire Republican white trash like Big Ed. The topic was about the spook E-mail of Obama and he comes here to direct people to blog his site with more right wing ramblings. Reminds me of Fox News going off over Obama’s association with William Ayers and yet not mentioning Sean Hannity’s lifelong connection to white supremacist Hal Turner. They are quick to interrupt you and change the subject. If that doesn’t work, challenge your patriotism. Goebbels would be proud.
Yeah, people like Big Ed had nothing to say when the mainstream media was acting as George Bush personal press office, reading the white house and partner’s talking points word for word with no challenge; and lying us into war.
What was the name of the pseudo reporter that Bush et all were using at those press conferences to ask softball questions ? It turned out he was a gay escort. And of course we don’t hear from house nigger Armstrong Williams after he got busted taking bribes to promote No Child Left Behind. The R.N.C. definitely left his black ass behind. So much info keeps coming out about how they abused the constitution yet wanna be Joetheplumber trash like Big Ed want to continue fighting for those that exploit his ignorance. I only pity him.
This is ridiculous. And this is all coming from the same party machinery that actually believes it has a chance of retaking the White House in 2012!
As they say in Britain, they’re havin a laugh mate!
