whines those that out her 'not team players'

TAMPA — Florida Republican chairman Jim Greer said Wednesday that longtime Hillsborough state committeewoman Carol Carter may lose her position because of the racial joke she forwarded in an e-mail.

"Carol Carter has been a hard-working, loyal Republican for many years, but this action I have no tolerance for, regardless of the circumstances or intent," a furious Greer said of Carter's e-mail.

Concerning her future, Greer said, "I am currently considering all options, including my authority to remove her from the office of state committeewoman."

The e-mail read:

From: Carol Carter

Friday, January 30, 9:30 AM

Subject: FW: Amazing!

I'm confused

How can 2,000,000 blacks get into Washington, DC in 1 day in sub zero temps when 200,000 couldn't get out of New Orleans in 85 degree temps with four days notice?

Carol Carter

Later she sent out a second e-mail that read:

From: Carol Carter

January 30, 5:54 PM

Subject: Earlier e-mail

I have been asked to send this apology for my earlier e-mail. I am sorry that it was received in a negative manner. I do hope that we are going to be allowed to keep our sense of humor.

As you can now see, it went to very few people. I did add Todd Marks in this apology, as he is in the mix now. I am also sorry to learn that some of these persons are not real team players. There really was no reason for this to go beyond those that I e-mailed (8 people). This was not an e-mail blast as I do not have that capability.

Carol

1. Republicans really don't get it, do they?

[KG]

7. GOPers still seem flummoxed as to why they can't attract minority votes

[blogslut]

2. Oh, I see

It was meant for only the racists on her email list. Well, that excuses everything.

[lonestarnot]

3. Carol Carter. You are an idiot racist.

[raccoon]

4. She's not only a racist, but a clueless idiot, to think she could get away with that.

She needs to be fired.

[ogneopasno]

5. That's the best non-apology I've seen in a long time. She's really tap dancing on that one.

[NOW tense]

6. "not real team players"

She is right real republicans just follow. They don't have any thoughts of their own.

8. Her letter of apology isn't an apology, it's a feel sorry for me note.

[Marr]

17. I'd say it's an attack on whoever exposed her. Very Bush-ish.

[Hepburn]

9. She considered that HUMOR!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

What a fucking bigoted idiot! :eyes:

[gratuitous]

10. I'm confused

How can a bunch of Republican operatives pull together the Brooks Brothers riot to intimidate Florida elections officials on a few hours' notice, yet they can't find the traitor in the White House who outed a spy during wartime with months of investigation?

[YOY]

11. This is why they "fail" completely.

Racist fuckwads.

[OregonBlue]

12. K & R. Make sure EVERYONE reads this.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

13. She Has The Fucking Nerve To Play Victim? What A DISGRACEFUL Email. Fuck Her. I Hope She Rots.

They better fuckin fire her for that. Sense of humor? What a fucking piece of shit.

14. The comments are mostly "It's not racist, it's a good question." /nt

[Brewman_Jax]

15. Repubs are never sorry they did anything wrong...

they're just sorry they got caught. :eyes:

[yellowcanine]

16. "I do hope that we are going to be allowed to keep our sense of humor."

Ah the old "just joking" dodge. When will they learn? And Carol, you sent the email. The recipients are not to blame. You should assume that anyone could see it.

[prolesunited]

18. It just shows the stupidity and illogic of these idiots.

Let's just start with the ignorance of thinking only black people attended the inauguration and only black people were trapped in New Orleans.
