Rep. David Scott (D-GA) Shows Off Some Hate Mail
By Eric Kleefeld - August 12, 2009, 4:23PM


Rep. David Scott (D-GA) just appeared on CNN, discussing the swastika that was recently painted on his district office. And he also shared some very disturbing hate mail that he said he'd received lately -- before the swastika incident.

Scott showed a letter similar to one received by Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA), showing the President Obam-as-Joker picture with the message, "Death to all Marxists! Foreign and Domestic!" The letter contained a message for Scott, who is black: "To: NIGGA DAVID SCOTT / You were / You are / And / You shall forever be a nigga!" It added, "The Ethiopian cannot make himself white."

Another letter said that Scott will go down in defeat at the next election, "and any of your colored constituents ain't gonna stop it. The folks are not going to stand for socialized medicine, even though most negroes refuse to stand on their own two feet."

"But we have to understand is," Scott said, "we can't let these kinds of racist things, or that swastika, win this debate. And that is not gonna happen."

recover from this.

People in this country forget way too easily. Just look at our history, we always take 2 steps forward only to take 3 steps back.

They have too large a piece of the national platform (M$M) as it pertains to controlling/impacting national discourse. You watch, even such blatant racism will be spun-spun-spun away down the memory hole. If 'they' can coax Americans to swallow all they have over the past decades, they likely won't encounter much resistance with spinning this.

Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

UNbelievable. (OK not unbelievable - just DISGUSTING and very SAD and MIGHTY worrying).

This, IMO - points to the fact that it IS about having a black President - the festering racism boil has burst. These hate-peddlers are OFF the rails.

exactly how deep the racism is and how much of it still exists in this country. In many ways it feels like I'm a kid in the '50's again. Only "n-----r" is no longer part of polite conversation.

the KKK no longer openly burns crosses as often anymore.

Other than that, rampant racism is still alive and well.

so his base knows he's 'one of them'?

Well, a lot of things have to fester up before they can finally heal - maybe when the vast majority of this country realizes just how much racism is behind all this, it'll lead to better understanding and relations among all but those who deserve to be marginalized

even describe the evil fucks who "write" these letters.

Love David Scott! "But we have to understand is," Scott said, "we can't let these kinds of racist things, or that swastika, win this debate. And that is not gonna happen."

Now he's a new hero to me.

:kick:

It's not... these are racists who are resorting to intimidation and violence because they can't stand the idea of a black man as president.

I'm glad he shared this.
