“Chimp” email plays to liberal marginalization of CA GOP. Davenport must go.

I first would would like to wish everyone a Happy Easter and Passover!

Criticizing Barack Hussein Obama is fair game. And there is plenty to criticize. I should know – Obama stuck me by name on his website’s famous enemies list – “Fight the Smears” – during the 2008 Presidential campaign, because of the website and PAC that I lawyer and co-manage at www.ExposeObama.com. He didn’t like our questions about his health care plan, his associations with radicals and a former communist, our criticism of his buddy and preacher Jeremiah Wright, and much more.

I didn’t like the publicity of getting on Obama’s enemies list, and its aftermath, which have included Jerry Brown’s campaign smearing me for being a “birther.”  But I probably earned it, whether I am or not by just publishing questions that Obama would just as soon not have wanted magnified, including raising questions about his birth certificate, the same questions now being trumpeted by Donald Trump.

So, speaking as a professional Obama watcher and anointed enemy of the President, I think I can speak with some authority in stating something that I think is otherwise rather obvious: Marilyn Davenport’s recent email depicting the President as a chimp is racist. It is racist, stupid, helps perpetrate liberal stereotypes that the California GOP is a party made up and controlled by ignorant, insensitive, politically moronic, out-of-touch red-neck migrants from some other distant place in America; and if GOP readers think the Republican party is not all that, they need to rise up and join in literally drumming Marilyn Davenport, not out of the party, but definitely and absolutely out of her leadership position on the Orange County GOP Central Committee.

Most of us did not sign up to be members and leaders in the California GOP and its central committees with the advance intention of losing elections.  In the aftermath of a devastating statewide election defeat for California Republicans last year, our focus should be on winning back majorities for our causes and candidates.  That effort is going to require huge and sober outreach to voters in California who are not white and whose necks are not red and who are younger than 74 years old.  We can make great in-roads with California’s Latino voters if we try to embrace Latino leadership in the California GOP and if we can effectively communicate our shared values to such important voter groups who have dropped us  But nobody other than lily white red-necks are ever going to believe our message when some of our party’s own official central committee members, all of them in this case being white, continue to defend in the media sending emails around to each other that depict our Democrat African American president as a monkey, for the fun of it.  Winning elections statewide just isn’t going to happen if we condone that.  These stupid people and their dumb statements to the press, and their racist private actions, are rendering us to a lifetime of election losses!  Getting to majority will never happen for the California GOP in the next two generations if we can be so easily be defined by our political opponents as a party of racially insensitive ignorant whites.  Readers, please, especially Orange County Central Committee members: the Davenport email is absolutely indefensible!  It is indeed racist!  There is no other way to look it!  You need to take action to protect your party and all the good Republican values you are invested in, and are attempting to translate into public policy through election victories! Please, stand up for your values and your party: Dump Davenport!!!

    The problem is that the State Elections Code is very specific on reasons to take someone off a Central Committee: excess absences, moving out of the district from which one was elected, which is automatic and supporting a candidate of another party against a Republican. Being a stupid racist doesn’t qualify and she can’t be dumped. The only thing that they can do if she doesn’t resign is to isolate her – do not recognize her to speak at any meetings, etc.

    In San Francisco where I live the neo-socialists who hide behind the progressive label to obfuscate their true political believes and the rest of the left automatically label us racists and homophobes who want to take food away from seniors and children. Having this show up in major newspapers throughout the state just perpetuates the myth making political life even harder.

    Professor Richard Weaver wrote a wonderful (and still valuable) book titled, “Ideas Have Consequences”. The applicable phrase here might be, Actions Have Consequences”.
    The OC Republican Party is within its rights to impose consequence for this action by removing any connection to the party of Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation.
