Stoopid...and not afraid to let the world know

THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD

(apologies to Keith Olbermann)

Diane Fedele

The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated says if Obama is elected his image will appear on food stamps -- instead of dollar bills like other presidents. The statement is followed by an illustration of "Obama Bucks" -- a phony $10 bill featuring Obama's face on a donkey's body, labeled "United States Food Stamps.".... The group's president, Diane Fedele, said she plans to send an apology letter to her members and to apologize at the club's meeting next week. She said she simply wanted to deride a comment Obama made over the summer about how as an African-American he "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills.... It was strictly an attempt to point out the outrageousness of his statement. I really don't want to go into it any further," Fedele said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "I absolutely apologize to anyone who was offended. That clearly wasn't my attempt."

This is exactly the reason why November 5th can't get here soon enough for me. I don't know about you, but I'm sick to death of this mindless crap. The overabundance of cheap, astoundingly ignorant racism has quite frankly astonished me. I- apparently quite naively- thought that we as a nation would have been able to move past such childishness by now. Boy, was I wrong, or what?? Just when I think we've hit bottom and are ready to move on, I discover that this barrel has no bottom.

What floors me is the apparent ease with with Ms. Fedele claims that she wasn't trying to offend anyone. Uh, what?? You put out this trashy propaganda with no less than FOUR blatant examples of racist stereotypes...and you honestly expect us to believe that your intent wasn't to offend? Merely to inform?? I'd submit that Ms. Fedel's ignorance is surpassed only by her chutzpah. Poison the well, and then claim...oops!...you didn't mean to actually make anyone sick. I can only hope that there's a reserved parking space in Hell with Diane Fedele's name on it.
