The sh*t is starting to fly
The shameless bigot you see pictured (sorry, pic omitted) at right is Bobby May, McCain campaign chair in Buchanan County, Virginia, as well as treasurer and former correspondence secretary of the Buchanan County Republican Party. Mr. May recently published a newspaper column containing an overtly racist attack against Barack Obama. Appearing in a local paper called The Voice, May's column contained a number of inflammatory charges against Obama, including the following on Obama's plans for America if elected:"FREEDOM OF RELIGION: Mandatory Black Liberation Theology classes taught in all churches - raise taxes to pay for this mandate. Put Rev. Jeremiah Wright in charge....""DRUG CRISIS: Raise taxes to pay for free drugs for Obama’s inner-city political base....""2ND AMENDMENT: Under Obama will only apply to gang-bangers, illegal aliens, Islamo-Fascist terrorists, and Senator Jim Webb’s aide....""FOREIGN RELATIONS: Appoint Rev. Al Sharpton as Secretary of State, Jesse Jackson as UN Representative, and let Bill Clinton handle all other "foreign relations" ... As long as Hillary doesn't find out...!""THE WHITE HOUSE: Hire rapper Ludacris to “paint it black.†Taxes to be increased to buy enough paint for the job plus spray-paint for graffiti....""THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES: Raise taxes to send $845 billion, most of it to Africa so the Obama family there can skim off enough for them to free their goats and live the American Dream....""NATIONAL ANTHEM: Change to the "Black National Anthem" by James Weldon Johnson....""US CURRENCY: Update photos to reflect US diversity; include pictures of "great Americans" such as Oprah Winfrey, Ludacris, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Paris Hilton, and Louisiana Congressman William Jefferson (Obama's new Secretary of the Treasury - 50 Cent refused position after learning that he would lose his crazy check if he accepted the nomination)....""US FLAG: Replace 50 stars with a star and crescent logo; red stripes changed to green to represent Obama’s tree-hugging radical environmentalism and his lack of experience. Flag lapel pins, having become a substitute for “real patriotism,†will henceforth be banned...."At the end of his column May challenged Obama to meet him on "County Talk," a Friday morning talk show on radio station WMJD 100.7 in Grundy VA. It seems Mr. May is quite the local mover and shaker in Buchanan County Republican circles: In addition to his work with The Voice and WMJD, he has also appeared in the Virginia Mountaineer with other local Republican leaders.Complaints and expressions of disgust at Mr. May's comments can and should be directed to the following:McCain national campaign: [email protected]McCain Virginia campaign [email protected]Republican National Committee (Mike Duncan, Chair): [email protected]Virginia Republican Party: [email protected]Buchanan County Republican Party (Jerry M. Lester, Chair): [email protected] & [email protected] / tel. 276-935-4764 or 276-935-5483WMJD radio: [email protected] / tel. 276-935-7227 ("County Talk," Fridays 10-11 a.m. EST)The Voice: [email protected] / tel. 276-881-8886Bobby May: [email protected] / tel. 276-566-8788This story has already attracted the attention of the Los Angeles Times and blogs such as the Daily Kos, and with lots of further attention could become a major embarrassment to the GOP and the McCain campaign. The GOP and the McCain campaign should be pressed to acknowledge Mr. May's statements, to condemn and apologize for them, and to remove Mr. May from any official party or campaign role.Mark C. Eades
