Official Republican Message Boards Suggests Waterboarding Obama

For those who watched the finanl debate Wednesday night, we all heard John McCain say he had publically condemned every example of Obama Hate Speech he knew about. First, that is not true...as example, I have already offered the offending online blog entry pairing Obama with a Noose. Well, we now have another one, and it is far worse in that the offending material was on the Official Web Site of the Sacramento County Republican web site! After outrage was expressed, the offending material was taken down, but that is beside the point...the point is that it was put up in the first place. The point is, we have AN OFFICIAL GOP WEB SITE condoning and suggesting the waterboarding of Barack Obama. Where is McCain in publically condemning this horrid act? Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger condemned the act in a public fashion, so where is John McCain's public rebuke?

Sacramento GOP Web site encouraged people to 'waterboard Obama'

Sacramento County Republican leaders Tuesday took down offensive material on their official party Web site that sought to link Sen. Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden and encouraged people to "Waterboard Barack Obama" — material that even offended state GOP leaders.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento County Republican leaders Tuesday took down offensive material on their official party Web site that sought to link Sen. Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden and encouraged people to "Waterboard Barack Obama" — material that even offended state GOP leaders.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has pushed the party to try to broaden its appeal, took issue with the site. "In the governor's view, it's completely and totally inappropriate," said Julie Soderlund, a Schwarzenegger spokeswoman.

Hector Barajas, a California Republican Party spokesman, said Democrats have been playing the race card, but that the local party went too far in this instance.
