The Facebook page of the Republican National Committee displayed some revolting, racist photos, one nearly for a week, before they were taken down after a liberal website publicized their existence.The first picture brought to light was one of President Barack Obama eating fried chicken, captioned with the following: "Miscegenation is a CRIME against American Values. Repeal Loving v. Virginia."
Miscegenation refers to the "marriage or cohabitation between a man and woman of different races." Loving v. Virginia was the landmark Supreme Court case that struck down laws against interracial marriage. By the way, you can't actually repeal a Supreme Court decision. That photo was posted on Oct. 20th.
Another troubling photo was of Mother Teresa, in which she is shown feeding a child. The caption beneath read, "Enabling scab-eating mouth breathers will do them no good. How do we expect them to take care of themselves?"While none of the photos in question appear to have been posted by the administrator of the GOP's Facebook site, it's interesting that the administrator did not remove them, and that there was no uproar among the Republicans visiting the site. Either they did not disagree, or did not care, or there were no visitors (doubtful).
Both of those photos were posted by a Facebook user named "Gee Dub," apparently in reference to President George W. Bush. They have both been removing, but it is still troubling that they were there in the first place.

Wow, should we really be suprised though
Okay, so some unsavory pictures were posted by someone.
And now they're gone.
Typical dims.
Criticize, condemn, complain, and live in the past.
Re: Anonymous said...
So you're not really condemning the photos, just blaming the person that complained about them?
It looks like the GOP has permanently given up on the black vote...

Democratic Party: The party of slavery, the party of the KKK, the party of segregation, the party of Jim Crow, the party of welfare dependence, and now the party of socialist control of all the population.
The first picture brought to light was one of President Barack Obama eating fried chicken,captioned with the following:Miscegenation is a crime against American Values.
It's sad that there are people who are this cruel which spread racism. Why can't they just leave other people alone
There are a million places on the Internet where they can express this stuff with no problem. But I don't think any host is required to allow it on its website, especially when it's a website that probably gets a lot of looks. Some websites certainly can have looser standards than others, but every host should be allowed to decide those standards for itself.
I don't think the postings should be removed, they should be left up and publicized - widely. The world needs to see this kind of 'free speech' so they can determine exactly how screwed up the 'right' are.
It's amazing how the Republican Chairman who is black would post racist pictures. It's fake and you know it and please don't spread this rumour
I really dont understand that why --Miscegenation is a CRIME against American Values...nowadays is very commonly can be seen,marriage of two different race persons...and why they are calling that it is a troubling photo of Mother Teresa....so what if she is feedind a dark skinned child...
every day or in a week the Facebook will be displaying the new artists photos and snaps the RNC's Facebook page will also displays Racist photos for almost nearly a week.
The way, you can't actually repeal a Supreme Court decision.
I don't understand what was the purpose to add Barak Obama's photo here,I think they convey his eating style or he is non-vegetarian,try to make our blog simple and sweet,Facebook pages display many things,People are crazy for Facebook and they tag any thing on their wall..for more traffic.
I think stuff is interesting to read from the point of reading but comparing two personalities here,its a publicity strategy...
Your blog having a very nice and interesting stuff but your stuff creates controversy which is no required,thanks to share.
I don't understand that this is the part of publicity or controversy or getting publicity through controversy,whatever blog is well written..
article published quite interesting & informative so that adds new value to me
