Sherri Goforth, a staffer for GOP state senator Diane Black, has admitted sending out the racist poster shown here in an email. It's funny, see, because Obama's black and so his official portrait is a pair of cartoon eyeballs on a black background. Don't these people have some gun bills to pass, or something?

Despicable creeps, thy name is TNGOP. Nashville's Talking has more details.

Does this really qualify as despicable? Stupid for sure. Insensitive. Idiotic. But racist and despicable? Nah.

This is absolutely racist. How stupid, how insensitive! Oh wait, we're talking about Tennessee!

I should have known better.

If that is racist and despicable, then what do we call truly racist and despicable acts? I guess "atrocious" is a step up......I am not defending it. Just seems we are running on a little PC crack here. Of course, if it wasn't from a staffer of a GOP senator then it wouldn't have really mattered at all. Time to clean my gun and head to Beale.

Well Zip, what would you say merits that level of approbation... some Republican calling Michelle Obama and her family 'gorillas'?

Oh wait....
