Va GOP hits graphic of zombie Obama shot in head - Still a Democrat - 10-31-2011 08:12 PM

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A Halloween-themed graphic featuring a zombie President Barack Obama with a bullet hole in his forehead provoked widespread outrage and the attention of the Secret Service Monday after a local Republican committee in Virginia used it to scare up interest in Halloween parade political activities.

The montage, a banner on a mass email to Loudoun Republicans, mingles seasonal images including a jack-o-lantern, a disfigured U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi and a throng of flesh-hungry zombie Obama supporters.

The posterized image of a rotting, undead Obama with a bleeding, large-caliber hole an inch above his right eye prompted Democrats to cry foul and Virginia's Republican governor to denounce it as "shameful and offensive."

It's a horrid image. I'm glad to see the GOP in VA is after the pukes who sent it out.

They're the zombies right out of night of the living dead. The Stupid goes too far and metaphorically stab their ownselves in the gut.. no one has to do it for them.

How sick can they get? Maybe as sick as I feel knowing that those idiots consider themselves decent Americans! Vomit Thanks, Still a Democrat, for reminding me why we must get as many as we can out of government and keep them out, at least until they grow up to be responsible adults, if that is even possible.

I read about this elsewhere and it is disgusting. One of the people who was responsible for it said they were just having fun in the spirit of Halloween.

Har-de-fucking-har.

I see on twitter that the Va. GOP official who thought it was SO FUN to mail out an invite to a Halloween parade with an image of zombie Obama with a bullet hole in his head has resigned. Good riddance, senseless lamebrain.

Quote:A Loudoun County Republican Committee official has resigned following controversy over an e-mail that depicted President Obama as a zombie with part of his skull missing and a gaping bullet wound in his forehead, according to reports by NBC Washington.

The Loudoun GOP committee’s communications director, Robert Jesionowski, took full responsibility for the e-mail, the report said.

Yeah, sounds eerily reminiscent of another GOP creep and her email she passed around "just for fun". What is it with these misanthropes?

Thanks for posting that that "official" resigned. This new normal for Republican "officials" who should know better who still gleefully put out childish, inappropriate material is disturbing. Are they fucking nuts? But we need to keep the names handy. Since nothing succeeds in Republican circles like spectacular bigotry/failure, next thing we know, they'll be running for either the Senate or Congress. Or in Rick Perry's case, president.

Yeah, "shameful & offensive". *wink*

This kind of crap reminds me of Elizabeth I and her sea dogs. There would be the Spanish ambassador at the royal court, crying and pitching a fit about Queen Bess's beloved sea dogs robbing all the Spanish ships of the riches they had exploited fair and square from the various lands they infested. Bess would call in the offenders, dress them down and make a big scene about it. Exit Spanish ambassador and there were smiles and high fives all around.

That's pretty much what I think whenever a Rethug pretends to take issue with their party's horrible behavior.
