LOS ANGELES – A Southern California Republican Party official was under fire Saturday after allegations she sent an email that included an altered photo depicting President Barack Obama as an ape.

An e-mail reportedly sent by party central committee member Marilyn Davenport shows an image, posed like a family portrait, of chimpanzee parents and child, with Obama's face artificially superimposed on the child. Text beneath the photo reads, "Now you know why no birth certificate."

Davenport, when reached by The Associated Press, said she would provide a written statement with her response, but several hours later she had not issued one.

[golux]

Alleged story about an alleged email allegedly sent by a Republican... At the top of the ASSOCIATED PRESS wire, naturally.

I do not find the email she sent as offensive as the stuff Barky regularly says.

And to this i say "So what."

We had a Democrat state legislator in Penna. express her desire to kill a Republican colleague. Where's the ire and outrage on that?

Sadly for the race-baiters, 0bama ISN’T BLACK.

He’s 50% white, 46% arab.

First, they’ve gotta locate a REAL black man, THEN somebody needs to send out a “racist” email, THEN maybe there’s a story.

For gosh sake. Enough with the "racist" nonsense. He's not even really a black guy.

If anything, he's the whitest resident we've had since Carter.

It’s an insult to apes.

Meanwhile, we are expected to regard Muhammad Ali, who called Joe Frazier a gorilla and an ape, as a great man.

>>>But the cartoon about Condi is OK though, right?<<<

Not to mention the literal hundreds of political cartoons in which George Bush was lampooned with the protruding snout of a chimpanzee.

On the other hand, if you want a vignette about what life is like living under dictatorship, this incident provides a small taste.

I saw lots of photo shopped images of G.W. Bush as a chimp.

[Bainbridge]

It is completely true. Just google the woman’s name and see all
of her quotes. She is wrong: and has caused damage.

[South40]

No doubt the AP and other leftists across the nation were equally as disturbed by this...

[Leo Farnsworth]

Big deal.

He's white.

He married an orangutan, though...

I thought the Dems were pretty much behind the idea that the only correct way to depict the President was as an ape ~ so why do they all of a sudden decide they are offended by that?

We would be far better off with a real monkey in the White House.

[Paperdoll]

They (the Press) will no doubt play it as a racist slur.
