Racist, "Hardcore Liberal Democrat" mailer ~ anyone else get one?

[mzmolly]

Two were mailed to our home, addressed to "Hardcore Liberal Democrat."

They are both different however one reads:

"Dear Barack Obama Supporter,

Thank you for supporting Barack Obama for President of the United States. Being a good liberal Democrat, like you are, I'm sure you wouldn't mind accepting numerous low and no income Obama constituents as your new neighbors. You may suffer a decrease in your property value, and a rise in your property and theft insurance, but it will be worth it to advance integration."

The mailer is in post card format and has mug shots of local black criminals who have been charged with various crimes. As well as OJ Simpson and Tim Montgomery.

Above the mug shots the text reads:

"Welcome your new neighbors, guilty on all twelve charges."

Apparently signed - "YOUR BELOVED OJ SIMPSON"

I am off to night class but I plan to report this to the Obama campaign, local news etc.

Has anyone else received such a mailing?

1. They're pulling the stops out.

:grr:

[mzmolly]

12. I'm both sad and disgusted.

:(

[gratuitous]

17. I, too, am sad and disgusted

But not surprised one bit. I knew going in that these assholes who have so degraded our country over the last 30 years weren't going to go quietly. Nope, they're going kick, bite and claw all the way out. Finally, they'll shit and piss themselves hoping to make their getaway when we recoil in complete and utter revulsion at the depths they'll plumb.

But I'm not playing Mr. Nice Guy to these Republican scumbags. They have a lot to answer for, and I sure as the world intend to hold them accountable.

3. I thought OJ was a Republican....Rec. nt

[Vickers]

4. I haven't gotten *my* "Hardcore Liberal Democrat" postcard yet.

What did I do wrong?

:(

[FatDave]

6. Postcard? I haven't even gotten my membership card!

[mzmolly]

11. Perhaps you don't live in a swing state?

:(

5. McCain's tactics make Willie Horton look like child's play

What's the difference between the KKK and Republican women?

Lipstick.

[Quantess]

7. They did it to persuade you to vote for McCain.

Did it work?

[tavalon]

8. Ha!

[mzmolly]

13. There is no keeping me from casting my vote for Obama on 11/2/2008.

I'm MORE motivated after this disgusting, hateful stunt.

[Quantess]

18. Oh, I'm sure of that. I would be twice as dedicated to voting Obama after that.

It was deadpan humor.

[TahitiNut]

23. Voting 2 days early?

:dunce:

[mzmolly]

27. I don't think I can vote early in my state?

However we don't have a long wait generally speaking. And, I worry about early votes not being tabulated in preliminary totals before the race is called by the media? It's possible I'm worried over nothing. ;)

9. Can you scan this?

[mzmolly]

10. Yes, but I am going to let the Obama campaign determine

how I should proceed. I also got an "invitation" to a Halloween Party from the same group with no return address or address. It said BOO OOOO across the top and had a date/time but no location? It said wear costumes, your pictures will be taken!

Bizarre, cryptic BS attempt at intimidation. Frankly I'm all THE MORE MOTIVATED.

[Fuzz]

15. Yikes, WTF?

[YvonneCa]

24. truthfightsback.com...

...Kerry's website. Forward the email.

[Marrah_G]

14. How disgusting. Definitely send this to the news.

[RedCappedBandit]

16. That is fucking disgusting

I'd like to see these cowards say any of that shit to my face. I'd love it.

[Bjorn Against]

19. That is disgusting...

And yes I would be willing to accept numerous low and no income Americans into my neighborhood, but I sure hope people of the type that would send out a mailing like that will stay the hell away from my neighborhood.

[Swamp Rat]

20. John McCain approves of that mailer.

[mzmolly]

25. Excellent

job Swamp Rat. Sad though isn't it?

[mmonk]

21. Interesting mzmolly. Can't say I have one of those.

Guess there's no since in their hiding their racism anymore. Cat's out of the bag so to speak.

[TahitiNut]

22. That kind of hate flyer was not uncommon in the 50s and 60s, particularly in the south.

In those days, you'd find them on your windshield or (sometimes) handed out on the streets but (obvious but plain-clothed) klansmen.

[mzmolly]

26. That's what's so disturbing.

I live in the Midwest. It's very unusual to see something like this here. I feel violated. It's very unnerving.

[OneGrassRoot]

28. No shit? Wow.....it is getting soooooooooo much worse out there.....

I was called a "ni**er-lovin' terrorist" at the gas station because of my one remaining Obama sign on the car (I've replaced at least a dozen which have been stolen).

They're going to start burning signs soon.

[and-justice-for-all]

29. If I do, I will be reporting it and contacting the local media..nt

[MnFats]

30. My friends, it's going to get worse...if that's possible.

they've got nothing, nothining, no issues at all so this slide into tactitly allowing or encouraging thisracist shit is going to burgeon.
expect the worst, and then think worse than that.
this IS a deliberate tactic by McCain/Palin, too.
they have done almost NOTHING to stop it.
watch for "plumbers" style dirty tricks and worse.
question everything...

[Piperay]

31. That's OUTRAGEOUS!

I certainly hope someone can get to the bottom of where that trash came from.

[silverojo]

32. Be SURE to report it to the postal service

Sending this kind of harassing shit via the mail is a federal offense.
