Stay Classy, Republicans

Wow, think the GOPers don't think the writing is on the wall? At least in California, they're going completely nuts.

First, comes a lovely website from the Sacramento County GOP:

Sacramento County Republican leaders Tuesday took down offensive material on their official party Web site that sought to link Sen. Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden and encouraged people to 'Waterboard Barack Obama' – material that offended even state GOP leaders.
You can see the material here.

Then, from San Bernadino County (via TalkLeft):
A San Bernardino County Republican group has distributed a newsletter picturing Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on a $10 bill adorned with a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken.
To be fair, the state GOP and Governor Schwarzenegger have condemned these things. Still, it's worth noting that these aren't some lone yahoos shouting "kill him" or "traitor" at a McCain/Palin rally. These are official communications from the GOP party structure. It smacks of desperation.

I love the smell of desperation in the morning. Smells like . . . victory!

I'm at the point where I'm really starting to worry about Obama's safety.

The people responsible for that crap should be booted by the Rep Party Execs. There is no excuse in this day and age for that kind of behavior. I don't care if they are blue-haired old women, they need to be booted.

That being said ...

Pulleezzeee Red. You act like they were in Mingo County. It was California for gods sake. The most progressive state in the Union.

I thought that it smelled like victory 4 years ago while making last minute calls at an Ohio Democratic HQ ... alas ... it wasn't.
