Racist Obama Email Sent by Republican Women's Organization
Since Senator Obama began running for the highest office in the land, have you noticed how rampant racism has gotten; or at best more blatant?
With the latest attack coming from the 'Chaffey Community Republican Inland' women's group in an October newsletter, which displayed Obama as a donkey on the front of what looks to be a food stamp with fried chicken, watermelon, Kool-Aid, and ribs; clearly expressing how they view people of color.
The Republican women's newsletter was sent to 200 members and associates via e-mail and postal mail.
Can you imagine a person putting so much time and effort into hand mailing this bs? And unfortunately for them the newsletter landed in the wrong (right) hands. Sheila Raines is an African American member of the Republican club, and is the first person to complain about the racist illustration. Raines explained how she cried for 45 minutes after receiving the post via email as she has worked tirelessly, to try and convince other minorities to join the Republican party and now she feels betrayed stating that, "this is what keeps African Americans from joining the Republican party," she said. "I'm really hurt."

Diane Fedele, president of the Chaffey Community Republican Inland' women's group stated that she'll send out apology letters and will also apologize via her club meeting to all members.
Is the apology to late as the damage has already been done?
After all Diane Fedele is the same woman, that when after receiving the e-mail she proceeded to add a personal written introductory text to the illustration that read: "Obama talks about all those presidents that got their names on bills. If elected, what bill would he be on????? Food Stamps, what else!"

Fedele agrees to apologize but is unwilling to reveal the individual that sent her the illustration. She also commented that she doesn't "think in racist terms" and even supported an African American Republican Alan Keyes who once ran for president. Don't you just love the single black friend solidification front?
But in all honesty, I would never think to create a million dollar bill, put Senator McCain's face on an elephant, label it "corporate welfare" with 13 vehicles, 10 mansions, filet mignon and Dom Perigon! Or maybe skull and bones, a slave ship, and the devil should suffice? Just saying, it doesn't sound so nice now does it?
Should Diane Fedele be subpoenaed regarding this email? Republicans like these is what gives all republicans a bad name.

The Obama campaign declined to comment on this matter.
