| Update: I love how these lowlife Liebercrats all blame "political payback" for their own damn stupidity [see Fabrizi, see Perez, see Fast Jimmy Amann]. Karma is indeed sweet. -Scarce
And the story has gone from the Record-Journal to the AP:
State Democratic Chairwoman Nancy DiNardo has joined a growing number of party members asking one of their own to resign, citing a "Proud to be White" e-mail that he forwarded to more than a dozen friends.
Patsy Papandrea of Meriden, a Democratic State Central Committee member for 27 years, has apologized for forwarding the message to 16 people in March. He said he did not read all of it before sending it, believing it was a joke.
DiNardo asked Papandrea, 66, on Wednesday to resign his post and chastised him for sending a message she described as a "severe affront to our families, friends and neighbors."
The local head of the NAACP also joins in:
But Barbara Wade Holloman, president of the Meriden-Wallingford NAACP, said party leaders are right to seek Papandrea's ouster.
"He needs to resign," Holloman said. "He can't represent us and expect us to support him in the black community. We don't have to accept anything like that. We will push until he resigns."
Papandrea continues to act as if this is just retribution for his outspoken support of Lieberman last year. That doesn't speak very well for Lieberman, who should also be calling for Papandrea's resignation.
Read the full email. It's racist, anti-semitic, and disgusting. And it's impossible to read even one sentence of it and not understand its meaning fully. Forwarding it to anyone, much less to non-white party officials (which he did), is a despicable act.
(A reminder: You can still vote in the poll at the Record Journal's website on whether Papandrea should resign - left side, apx. halfway down). |
