POLITICS: More racist propaganda against Obama surfaces
The Republican Party has a choice: (1) stay disgruntled, keep practicing obstructionism, and fade into complete insignificance or (2) stop the self-deception and evolve to become more palatable to a larger audience, because America isn’t progressing towards the type of malcontent spewed by Sherri Goforth—who emailed the racist Obama “spook” photo. Here is a good post from the Nashville Scene regarding Tennessee GOP politics and Tennessee GOP staffer Sherri Goforth. From Pete Kotz of the Nashville Scene:
It is easy, maybe proper, to call for the firing of Sherri Goforth after she sent a racist email from the office of Senator Diane Black. Yes, it’s hard to see your good tax money supporting a half-wit bigot. But please don’t fire her. She’s just a symptom of the terminal disease that is the Tennessee legislature.
Think about the people she works for as a secretary. Since January alone, they’ve accused Barack Obama of being a foreign national. They’ve accused the federal government of turning socialist. They’ve tried to assert their sovereignty from the United States, playing the part of ingrate welfare client. (Last I heard, Tennessee gets $1.23 back for every dollar it kicks to the feds in taxes.)
They profess love for Jesus, but won’t listen to what he has to say. They’ve tried to kill prenatal care, women’s health clinics, and pre-kindergarten funding. They’ve even attempted to reject federal stimulus money for the unemployed. But they have tried to put a gun in every bar, park and playground. Jesus would have liked that.
One is a slumlord. Another smacked around his daughter for dating a black guy. Still another would like to tie Mother Nature to a tree and torture her with an arc welder.
These are the people Goforth works for. Is it any wonder she believes what she does? But to fire her only picks off a middle-aged lady. It does nothing to heal the greater wound, which is composed by the creeps, racists, half-wits and professional victims who make up the Tennessee legislature. They’re the real affront here, the wound that will become terminal if left unchecked.

Tennessee makes me sick to my stomach! I really need to get the HELL out of here! I’m am sick of these Bible Hugging, Racist, gun loving, elected officials! What the hell is wrong with the people that vote these idiots into office. It’s time that we kick their racist Republican asses to the curb! Yes, I’m pissed! So excuse my language but Tennessee is better that this shit! We have become the laughing stock of the country and it all started with the “playboy bunny” campaign add against Harold Ford, Jr and it just keeps getting worse. I will be sending letters to all of the Republican officials in my district to let them know that this crap MUST stop! I urge all that live here in this great state to do the same. I’ve got to get off this computer! Freaking ridiculous crap! Oh, and if any of you good people that read this happens to know this idiot Sherri Goforth, tell her to get the HELL out of this state, racist pig!!
