Sherrie Goforth, Executive to GOP Sen. Diane Black, Sends 20 E-Mails with Picture Depicting President Obama as a 'Spook'

The race baiting continues with the Republican Party. This time, Sherri Goforth, executive assistant for Tennessee Sen. Diane Black (R.-Gallatin), allegedly sent an email on May 28, under the headline "Historical Keepsake Photo." As you can see, this was a photograph of all the presidents, but when you get to the last president, I am pretty sure those pair of spooked white eyes against a black background was meant to portray President Barack Obama. She sent this email to 20 of your friends and in my book, that makes her a dirty bigot.

According to an update on the Nashville Scene, Christian Grantham talked with Goforth, who said that Black gave her a letter of reprimand but will keep her on the job. Also, Goforth only admits to having sent the e-mail to the wrong list. Still that's not an apology. This is totally unbelievable. She basically has admitted that she sees nothing wrong with the email, just the fact that it went to the wrong people. She should be fired.

According to state Democratic Party Chairman Chip Forrester "Unfortunately, Sherri Goforth's e-mail joins the list of shameful episodes by Tennessee Republicans, from the infamous 'Birds of a Feather' direct-mail piece that featured black crows with the heads of Barack Obama and [African-American] Rep. Nathan Vaughn, to the "Barack the Magic Negro" song that former Tennessee GOP Party Chairman Chip Saltsman sent to RNC members during his failed campaign for RNC chair." Source: CNN
