well...all of that was very interesting. the thing i love about these boards is i can stay away for months...years even...and when i come back it's like i never left. the same people are making the same arguments and, while some of the rhetoric is hateful and sad, quite a bit of it is funny as all hell.
my two cents: the e-mail was overtly racist. you can't make an obvious comparison between a black person and a chimp and not consider it racist.
having said that, the situation was a story for maybe one or two days...some anonymous republican in orange county forwarded an inappropriate e-mail to her inner circle. is she racist? maybe. maybe not. is she stupid? maybe. maybe not. does she have piss poor judgement? pretty much, yeah.
she should be fired or step down and that's the end of it. the whole episode does not deserve the amount of vitriol wasted on it here.
Oderint, dum metuant.
You are a god damned idiot, you know that? You ought to be smacked upside your dumb-fuck head, even after all these years. Shame on you!
