African American Mississippi Republicans Calling For Dean To Step Down

African American Republicans in the state are calling for the resignation of Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean for comments they say are racially insensitive. Mississippi Republican Executive Committee Member Charles Evers said Dean should apologize and step down. He told reporters Monday that in a February 11th speech to the DNC Black Caucus, Dean said quote "You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room?" Then added, "Only if they had hotel staff in here."

Evers said,"We feel he should apologize, not only to blacks in this country but to America period. It's time out for leaders to get up and make these statements that's gonna embarrass any race."

Mike Biggs, a member of the JSU College Democrats said,"The Republicans can take prescription drugs out of Medicaid and they can short change teachers with pay raises and they can take money from the public schools, and we don't hear Mr. Evers saying anything about that."

Dean is scheduled to be in Jackson Tuesday. We were unable to reach Mississippi Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Dowdy for comment.

f*ckin hypocrites.

To be bush republican=fascist!

that Dean should stop telling the truth about the Republican party, because otherwise their poor, conflicted brains might explode.

DEAN UNCHAINED



Dean isn't going anywhere.. you repuglicans, you!

:thumbsup:

that become common place in history books, when I see this, hmmmmmmm.

Thanks Z! :hi:

Amazing toon there.

Thanks for posting it.

Perfect depiction of what I think (hope) is happening.

good post

:thumbsup:

Wow - I never thought I'd see an Ukyo avatar on DU! wow. My favorite game of all time. I was obsessed.

Cheers

:toast:

The spotlight is on him, everyone listening to see what he'll say. Hope he uses this opportunity wisely to advance the dems and not just merely defend the dems against the charge.

and will fight back. He says you don't apologize when people attack you, you fight back.

are attempting to spread this meme on black websites too....

To prove we will support our party when they have elevated one of our favorite people to the chairmanship.

You can't ask our elected people to hold the whole party up.

We have to get out to the mixed message boards and support Dean or they will drag him down as they do everyone who stands in their way.

Dr. Dean was 100% accurate.

They are just whiny republicans.

I look forward to Governor Dean's visit tomorrow and his response to Mr Evers comments which obviously were provided to him. Doctor Dean is reviving an old Democratic talking point, before there were talking points - WE'LL STOP TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT REPUBLICANS, WHEN THEY STOP TELLING LIES ABOUT DEMOCRATS.

WELCOME TO MISSISSIPPI DOCTOR DEAN. NOW KICK ASS!

There's a another five seconds of my life wasted I'll never get back.

Shit they can't be more than one, hell I didn't even know there were any Mississppi Republican black people.

How else would you justify being a "black Republican"?

:scared: Scardy babies! :P

The AFLCIO states that a large percentage of hotel workers are minorities. Now the question I have for these @#%& Republicans is, what's offensive about being called a "hotel worker." It's noble and necessary work. These people are CLASSISTS.

Talk about a need to REFRAME SHIT !!!

And they are. Watching and listening to them squirm is fun. They had better keep well practiced at their election stealing skills. I would say.
Peace

...calls for bush to step down.

so there.

join your call for Bush to step down.

butt-out!

Someone should ask them that question.

I can't believe Dr. Dean made both of Mississippi's black Republicans angry. He should be ashamed.

I grew up in Mississippi, and remember much of the civil rights era. Charles Evers, Medger's brother, has always been a few degrees off plumb. And a big ole hidey to BossHog.

only rich non whites are acceptable in the Corporate Party-
The Southern Blacks Repubs are traitors to those who need their help.
Those who've "sold out" should be ashamed to call for anyone to step down except themselves.

Dean doesn't owe me any apology... he called it just like it is... and he's right. IF they don't like it, they can just get over it.

I think it's very important for the people actually discussed to make their voices heard on this.

akin to Medgar Evers? If so he must be turning in his grave to have fought so hard for the likes of a stupid ass like this.

and he has always been a two-bit shit.

we just lost the votes of all five Black Republicans in the state!

ok, i'm off to my weekly Jews for Hitler meeting.

thanks. Humor helps me get through another 4 year nightmare.

Can't help it. :evilgrin:

:P

Quietly chuckling to myself over that one.

:evilgrin:
rocknation

Do they own hotels?

All three of them!!! Oh, no!

Dean should look at these fools and just laugh and say, "No comment".

n/m

Uncle Tom would be proud of him.

the party of intimidation is told where to get off by Mr. Dean!

and take names.

unfortunately, there are a lot of blacks in mississippi who vote for republicans.

just exactly what is wrong with THAT picture?

i never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will willingly cut off their own nose, to spite their own face.

geez.

:grr:

Please don't leave it at that. Can't be that many. If anything it's African Americans who know the score better and quicker than anyone.

Be they yellow, black or white, they're Republicans in his sight.(Apologies to Ray Stevens)

They don't have a dog in this fight. I think everyone in the GOP should step down and that most of them should fall on their swords in shame and despair over what they've done to our country. And yet, they live. So they can just shut up about our party business, thank you very much.

Democratic party no matter what color you are.

Did it work???

And to the seriously deluded MS repub: Bite Me.

Get used to it buddy.
Go sell your fake outrage somewhere else, we ain't buying.
You'd make Ole Strom Thurmond proud!

If Dean is pissing y'all off, putting a burr under your saddle, then the Good Doctor is DOING HIS JOB.

- considering that Mississippi is a red state and that about 1/3 of the population there is African American, looks to me like there must have been more than 2 or 3 black Repugs in the crowd.

Since African American's are supposed to be a huge part of our base, wouldn't our best chance of turning Mississippi blue be to court those very same black repugs? I don't think that ignoring their numbers and washing our hands of them will help us regain the south. We need to be working to bring them back to our fold.

BTW, I'm not speaking of Dean's comments. I'm responding to the postings within this thread.

To step down too, given his record on race relations. What/who is funding this crap?

What the Hell is this world coming too We are Democrats dudes we do what we want!!!

What's Mr. Ever's take on Shrub's constant refusal to meet with the NAACP?

How many African American Republicans from Mississippi can there be? This is nothing but an attempt to throw mud on Dean and by default, Democrats.
I'd would have phrased it slightly differently myself. Along the lines of "I don't understand why ANY person of color let alone African Americans, making less than $200k per year, would vote Republican.....'

for both Blacks and Whites!

just watch his Goddamn mouth!

Do I get to pick the RNC chair now, too? Cool, let's tell that asshole Mehlman to step down!

They have no say - the DNC exists for DEMOCRATS.

How fucking ridiculous. You can't call for the resignation of another party's chairperson! This is not an elected position, Dean is not representing any fucking Republicans.

Oh my god this is almost as bad as the 9 year old stumping for bush**'s social security plan.

:puke: :puke:

For committing fraud, murder and treason.

I wonder if he'll comply?

No matter what race the GOP is..These guys want to BEAT you and the last thing the Dems need is advice from your enemy
