From FitsNews.com:
The National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) held its annual
fall Board of Directors meeting in Charleston, S.C. last weekend – a
decision the organization is likely regretting after several
controversial pictures from one of the meeting’s sponsored events began
surfacing on the internet.
One of the pictures shows S.C. Senate President Glenn McConnell -
who FITS readers will recall enjoys dressing up as a Confederate General
– posing in his Rebel garb with a pair of African-Americans dressed in,
um, “antebellum” attire.
The event in question – dubbed “The Southern Experience” – was held
last Friday evening at the Country Club of Charleston. Hosted by the
South Carolina Federation of Republican Women, it was included on the
national conference’s official itinerary.
In addition to McConnell, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford attended (and spoke
at) the event – although it was not listed on his weekly public
schedule. S.C. Republican Attorney General nominee Alan Wilson also
attended.
Invited speakers to the NFRW conference included U.S. House Majority
Leader John Boehner, Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, RNC Chairman
Michael Steele, Rep. Joe Wilson, House Speaker Bobby Harrell, former
U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins and GOP gubernatorial nominee Nikki Haley.
Well see now we have all been wrong about Republicans being essentially
racist.
They openly welcome the African America community into their fold. Just
so long as they dress like plantation workers and don't get all
"uppity."
So now, after seeing these pictures, is it ANY wonder these Republicans
are not exactly embracing the Obama presidency? After all it is
strikingly obvious, looking through the southern conservative
prism, that HE does not know his place. Now does he?
