IRVINE, Calif. (AP) -- A Southern California GOP official who sent out an e-mail picturing President Barack Obama's face on the body of a baby chimpanzee issued an apology late Monday after a weekend of criticism that ended with a strongly worded public rebuke from the local Republican Party chairman, who also called for an ethics investigation into the incident.
The email sent on Friday by Davenport to a small group of GOP committee members shows an image posed like a family portrait, of chimpanzee parents and child, with Obama's face superimposed on the young chimp. Text beneath the picture reads, "Now you know why no birth certificate."
This is the second time in recent years that an Orange County political official has been in the news for Obama-themed emails.
In early 2009, Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose forwarded an email to a group of people from his personal account depicting a picture of the White House with a watermelon patch as its garden. Grose later resigned amid the backlash.
Now I'm not saying ALL Repubs are racist, but for people to deny that SOME hate Obama simply because he is black is dishonest and naive.
And another good point I'd like to make here is this - how STUPID these people are to think they can post something like this and get away with it! If they are that dumb, how could they ever do a good job for the people who elected them?!
