SHAME ON YOU!

The Reese Brothers and Comanche County Democratic chair “Cut & Run” Mike Weddington, are continuing to demonstrate their limitless and racist “sense of humor.” This latest attempt to imply that District 62 candidate T.W. Shannon is only “qualified to be a chauffeur,” was posted on demookie.com on October 27th. The picture mysteriously disappeared yesterday after a self described African American woman Democrat labeled the pictures – in a post on October 29th – as “reminiscent of the Jim Crow caricatures of my youth.” Equally mysterious is that the poster – “Running on Empty” – is a “new” member with only two posts. The Reese Brothers are infamous for accusing another owner of a competing chat site of using multiple screen names to hide his identity. Hmmm.

She continues in her post:

“Anyone sensitive to the history of African Americans in this country should find these photos deplorable or at least in poor taste.”

“These Shannon attack caricatures remind me of a couple of month’s ago when the Weekly Standard’s cover featured Al Sharpton in “Driving Miss Daisy” fashion. Democrats–including me–called the Standard’s attack ad everything from racially insensitive to out-and-out racism. The fact that Mr. Sharpton is a (D) and Mr. Shannon is a (R) doesn’t change the fact that the photos are in poor taste (in my humble opinion) and are racially insensitive.” Read entire post

It’s almost hard to fathom that a Democratic county chair and Tim Reese – a delegate to the 2004 Democratic convention – would stoop to this level of race baiting to win an election. It begs the question. Does the Oklahoma Democratic Party – the self described party of “tolerance and diversity” condone this offensive behavior? The Oklahoma Political News Service emailed the above picture to Chair Lisa Pryor and called party headquarters for a statement. Our intern was met with a rude response from ODP Headquarters and no statement. We guess that about says it all.
