Sacramento GOP Removes "Waterboard Obama" Graphic From Website

Republican officials in Sacramento, California have removed highly offensive materials from their official website after just about everyone with even a vestige of class complained that the images -- which include a suggestion that Barack Obama be waterboarded -- were totally ridiculous. Through a spokesman, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger decried the materials as being "completely and totally inappropriate."

Apparently, the responsible party -- or at least the guy willing to "take credit for" the web images -- is Craig MacGlashan, the Sacramento County GOP Party Chairman. Prior to the removal of the offending items, he defended his website by saying, "I'm aware of the content. Some people find it offensive, others do not. I cannot comment on how people interpret things." Hmmm. Let's see. "Waterboard Barack Obama." How should I interpret that? How about, "Craig MacGlashan is a horse's ass?"

Californians, please join me in contacting the offices of Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein and Representative Pelosi with this information.

Jon Stewart spoke on his show last night about the fringe weirdo's and what McCain was going to do to take their torches away.
This is proof the GOP has gone off the deep end.
Time for some reasonable folks to hijack that party is what I'm thinking.

[Grunty1]

Unfortunately, the reasonable ones have long since been ejected from the party. America is soon to get its third party: Democrats, Libertarians, and Lunatics.

i trust that the secret service are about to pay this jag-off a little visit about this website. then they can rendition him to a friendly foreign nation where they actually do waterboarding. because god knows america doesn't torture...

The Reapuglicans are really going off the deep end. I think their heads are starting to spin.

Why do Republicans hate America?

[Trofinios]

And the McCain campaign shrugs of the attacks on Obama as cases of individual nuts in the crows who go too far. But first we have saw Virginia republican party chairman Frederick comparing Osama with Obama and now we have a Sacramento county GOP party chairman comparing Osama with Obama and using "Waterboard Obama". Shame on you republicans, shame on you McCain!

You can always count on the GOP to keep it classy.

Are all republicans crazy & ignorant? NO. But all the crazy, nutcase, racist, facist, ignorant people are voting republicans.

What has this party become?

[Fenianheart]

Their hatred is destroying them. The more vicious their attacks, the more fervently (and financially) we support Obama.

Which SS? Germany, circa 1939? What's happening is that the bottom is falling out of the McKK.Kain campaign, and the Republicans have adopted a scorched earth policy: if we can't have the reigns of power, then nobody can.

A past post submitter was right: this is really nasty neo-Nationalist stuff, and it is deeply embedded in the very fiber of the Republican party, at probably very high levels. Guess it's too much to ask to go down with honor. But then

I'm beginning to think all Republicans should be given saliva tests and rabies shots. There certainly seems to be an epidemic of hate, bordering on madness within the GOP. This is not just sad, but frightening.

President Obama should have them all "disappeared".

[kiran888]

So let me get this straight its okay to threaten Obama like:

1.) kil him
2.) off with his head
3. terr*rist
4.) waterboard him

but mcCain is off limits, and Palin is off limits ( you cant even ask her a question). this is ridiculous and hypocrisy. That's why most of america now dislikes rethuglicans. the world is eagerly waiting to kick the GOPs outta here.

Stuff like this proves that WWII Germany wasn't the only incubator of Pure Ev il. However, it does sound as if we are completely surrounded by it here in the USA.
