A GOP staffer working in the office of TN State Senator Black sent out a racist picture via email depicting President Obama as a spook http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/16/tennessee-gop-staffer-ema_n_216085.html. I just sent an email to the Senator condemning this action and calling for the firing of the woman who did this. The staffer's "apology"? She sent the picture to the "wrong address". TN must be so proud.
Below is my email:
Dear Senator Black,
I read today that Sherri Goforth, your executive assistant sent around a racist photo thinking she was making a joke.
Her only "apology" was that she hit the wrong button; she didn't mean to send it to everyone.
Are you kidding me? The fact that she considered it okay to send at all speaks volumes.
Your office needs to make a statement about this condemning this action and firing this woman for committing this despicable act.
Our President deserves respect. Yes, we are free in this country to express our viewpoint but not from a public office. If she harbors those kinds of feelings she needs to keep them to herself - as well as grow up and join the 21st century.
I think I will write about this in my blog today so others will know as well. Yesterday I commented on the Republican from SC who made a comment about Mrs. Obama. Your office now joins the ranks of one harboring clueless individuals as well.
joy

This is not okay. I am sick over this.
