Marilyn Davenport, a Tea Party activist and member of the Orange County Republican Party's central committee, sent an email to her fellow TeaParty Republicans depicting President Barack Obama and his parents as chimpanzees. In the body of the email: "Now you know why — No birth certificate!" Davenport responded "Oh, come on! Everybody who knows me knows that I am not a racist. It was a joke. I have friends who are black. Besides, I only sent it to a few people–mostly people I didn’t think would be upset by it." I'm always curious why racists, when outed, always respond this way "....some of my best friends are..." After this story was published, she sent another email to fellow California Republican Teapartiers. In it, she demanded to know the identity of “the coward” who supplied [The OC Weekly] with a copy of her offensive email. Meanwhile, countless commenters are commenting, "Next time you Repubs want to know why “the blacks” vote Democratic – THIS IS WHY!!! Thanks for showing yourself for who and what you are."
Now that Davenport has been outed for the racist she is, numerous Republicans are backpeddling away from her. Former chairman of the California Republican Party Michael Schroeder says this email is Davenport's third strike. He is calling for her resignation, citing two previous incidents in which Davenport defended the racist actions of two fellow Orange County conservatives.
1. During President Obama's inauguration, when Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose forwarded an email depicting a watermelon patch on the White House lawn to several people. According to Schroeder, Davenport defended Grose amidst calls for his resignation.
2. Davenport defended Newport Councilman Richard Nichols when he opposed installing grassy areas at a beach. His reason, according to the L.A. Times: "with grass we usually get Mexicans coming in there early in the morning and they claim it as theirs, and it becomes their personal, private grounds all day." -- Looks Like O.C. Republicans are equal opportunity HATERS!
They Hate the President! They hate Blacks! and they HATE Latinos!
SHAME!
SHAME!
SHAME!
But at least now they have clearly OUTED THEMSELVES for their TRUE Motivation for Birtherism!
Pure, Raw, Unadulterated HATRED towards Minorities, including our President!

We have been saying all along that the Tea Party was a bunch of racist cowards and now this prove it all. Thanks to Donald Trump he is bring the bad milk to the top. It's really ashamed that these racism people think that they have a chance in hell to go to heaven...How are you going to go to Heaven when there are all races of people their..God love all people so how can you expect him to love a racism person..None of us know the color of God and that is the reason why. He don't want to be judge by you he only want you to love him despite the color or his skin. I can only say that the Teabaggers are in for a treat when they get the golden gates and will have to be turn away. When you get to the gates God will be the Color that you hated the most and that will keep you from entering Heaven.
I cannot stand Obama. His lying butt makes my flesh crawl. I believe he is trying to destroy our country. I don't know where he was born, probably not in the USA. The sooner he is gone, the better. Call me a racist all you want to. It doesn't bother me. I am Black.
Other races should have the same freedom to criticize the president. This is America. I hope Ms Davenport fights this.
Anon,
I agree. Donald Trump has put the Birther issue front and center and the Birthers are now thinking it is safe to OUT themselves as the true racists they are.
Shame on them for being so unpatriotic and disrespectful to our President.
Billy Joe,
So you admit you are a racist and are unpatriotic - hate our President. Shame on you!
Also, I think it is hilarious when anonymous posters, such as yourself, who admit their racism "say" they are black and yet remain anonymous. LOL! Hilarious! Now repeat after me, "some of my best friends are "the blacks." (as Donald Trump said)
why do people like rep. giffords absorb bullets, and someone like davenport gets off scot-free? not fair, really.....
Billy are you kidding me? What planet are living in? Sure she has a right to say what she wants but this is point blank period racism! Now you stated "I am black" well my freind you better wake up because if people like this contiune to use freedom of speech crap this country is bound to be ran in the ground, and not at the hnads of President Obama! Also when Bush, Clinton was President all this crap wasn't happening, and so where the heck was you at! Maybe you should get that stick out of your back end! I support the President not because he's African American(mix)but base on what he can do for this country, and before he became President this counrty was in bad sharpe, they just needed someone to blame! By the way I am African American aka Black if you need to know and proud of it!
You are a disgusting human being and most of all you are a racist Ms Davenport. You can deny all you want but pictures speak louder than denials. Shame on you and Shame on your party to tolerate this kind of behavior. You are proving the point that the tea party is nothing more than a modern day KKK.
to Dee,My thoughts exactly on the posting by the guy who claims to be black...what a joke!
To Dee, and others. I stand by my comments on disliking Obama. Everyone should have the right to dislike/ disagree/ criticize the pres w/o being call racists by all you race-baiters. You should cool-out. You are not the arbiter on what another person is thinking or what is in their hearts. To me: you are the problem. I'm upfront, I'm Black. Because that totally destroys your thesis, you won't accept that either. My full name is Billy Jeffrey. Google me or Facebook me. I live in San Francisco.
There is no doubt, racism is alive and thriving in America. We can thank the disgraceful tea party for this and now Mr. Blowhard Trump has added fuel to the fire. The racism issue makes me ashamed to admit I'm an America...the melting pot of diversity. Yea, sure.
By the way, nice blog. Keep up the good work.
dd

This topic has stirred up a great deal of emotion. Anon, I appreciate your passion, but please refrain from profanity. Since you are new I allowed your profanity this time but ask that you refrain next time.
Billy,
You are something. I did look you up on facebook. You are free to have your opinion, however I think you are very wrong and disrespectful of our President.
You are a Birther. You call him a liar. You say he makes your skin crawl. You wear t-shirts saying you oppose socialism. Yet you appear to be either on Social Security or soon to be on Social Security. I suggest you stop accepting it if you truly are against "socialism." Stop driving our our "socialistic highways." Stand up for your convictions. Otherwise you truly do NOT understand the issues.
Billy,
Looking on your facebook page, you support the policeman who so brutally shot and killed Oscar Grant, a young African American. He shot him in the back while laying on the ground. The jury, by a preponderance of evidence found Mehserle GUILTY! I wrote about this case, as I write about HATE Crimes against minorities (mostly about HATE Crimes against Latinos). I saw the videos. It was a brutal crime and abuse of power against a minority.
And you say on your facebook YOU support Mehserle.
You also post on your facebook MANY RANTS against our President.
It is obvious this is just your way of getting attention!
Your FRIENDS Even Think you RANT just to get attention.
You truly are a very sad case! Full of Self Hate!
What a pathetic bunch of human beings...the TEA Party. Has anyone ever seen a non WASP sitting at one of those Tea party tables outside of Walmart or Ralph's soliciting signatures? Nope. All white racist suburbanites.
usually i ignore stupid comments about our president but this is beyond being human. it is the sign of total stupidity. the presedent is a harvard grad the resto of republicans like this woman are the scum of the earth.
hey billy j. are you sure you are black. hum go figure. BLACKNESS IS A STATE OF MIND. NOT A SKIN COLOR.
comment from kburgoyne on voicofoc.org:
"Marilyn Davenport is a staunch, ethical Republican lady." -- Tim Whitacre, a longtime conservative Orange County Republican activist in Santa Ana. It appears the Republican Party needs to undertake a closer examination of what they consider ethical or not. Ms. Davenport's ACTIONS stand in strong contrast to your WORDS Mr. Whitacre. Do Ms. Davenport's actual actions pass for "ethical" in the Republican Party, or do they not?
Mr. Whitacre (and Ms. Davenport), the Government of the State of Hawaii has provided legal documents stating that Mr. Obama is qualified for the Presidency. Those documents are backed by the laws of the State of Hawaii. Unless you wish to file suit against the Government of the State of Hawaii for engaging in a fraud, your continued slander of both Mr. Obama and the Government of the State of Hawaii are likewise unethical.
Ms. Davenport, you need to suck it up and resign, what makes you any different then anyone else, hmmmm?
BillyJ said "Other races should have the same freedom to criticize the president. This is America. I hope Ms Davenport fights this."
@ Billy J
I agree that everyone should have the freedom to express assenting or dissenting sentiments towards our President but Davenport's email insidiously exudes racist imagery.
She sent out the email to people who she probably thought were "like minded" and got busted. So, when you say that you "hope Ms Davenport fights this." What exactly is Ms Davenport fighting? The fact that she got caught sending out a racist email?
Barack hussein Obama, First black President of the United States.The odds of such an event occurring in America, were not fathomable, even in the creative mind of Steven Spielberg.
This historical moment in American history, drew concern from some in the nation ; Radical groups such as "neo Nazi", and "white supremacists" started increasing in an alarming number. Their message that at one time was considered to be inhumane, and repulsive, became a solution to counteract the threat of a minority group in power.
Hidden well in crevasses of patriotism, camouflaged with red, white, and blue; the beast is to be released. It caters to the true intentions of the heart, and fills the appetite of the foolish with the lyrics of his anthem. "America must be enlightened, those who by the hand of God are born inferior must be eliminated" is their theme.
"Racism is a beast that has no reasoning. It is built upon ignorance, and injustice,wisdom is devoured by its foolishness. No man of wisdom can break its yoke."
Although Hitler perished, his quest to delete those with the misfortune of being created inferior lives on.
To his disciples he left a will, it contained the recipe, the ingredients required for his dream to be ful- field. But as odd as it may seem, he is not the founding father, but a descendant of yet another.
The diabolical plan has begun to unfold; They are preparing to return America to its rightful owners. Who holds the deed to America, and determines who is to be worthy to bare her name? June 1776 Thomas Jefferson, : "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
The message of racism is gaining momentum, and its fundamental doctrine, has found approval with certain political individuals, and newly formed political parties within our government. Never-the- less, the First Amendment right of the Constitution gives the freedom of speech without censorship and/or limitation.
Let us be hopeful that the majority of the leaders of our nation stand fast in the defense of all Americans, that regardless, of race, color, or creed, that under no circumstances, they would stray from the document that placed the blindfold on lady Justice.
Dee. I am the mother of 4 Hispanic children. 3 born here, 1 born in Mexico. I also have 3 black children. My husband is from Argentina. I am white. All my children are adopted and began life in circumstances that no child should be born into. I am GOP. I don't know why my own party accepts this crap. Yes, I get it that we have several members of our party that are minorities, but why so few? Because of this. Because we are not accepting of the brown or black skin. People go where they are welcome. People like my husband and children, are not welcome in my party.
Put on my 'must read' list!
This racist email by Marilyn Davenport proves that Tea Party members are the modern version of the Klan . Its both shameful and very ignorant that a Representative would even spew that vile nonsense and believe that its ok.

Anon 5, may I ask why (IN THE HELL) are you supporting the GOP, you are nothing to them, they take away everything the middle-class stands for, they use their supporters to fill their own pockets.
PS key word "OWN"
people people people leave billy alone clearly he is a lonely old man starved for attention(and just i to gave to 10min out my life that i will never get back by looking you up)and is upset that he can never hope to affect peoples live in a positive way so this is is outlet. just like when a kid misbehaves don't spank him pretend you don't see and then he will stop. poor baby needs a hug. and haters are everywhere mostly in the black community. thats why its so hard for us to move foward as a people. if you want to affect change start with yourself instead of dogging the people that are. as for that woman and i use the term loosely she has a right to her opinion as does everyone. its not that i'm mad at what she did its when you do something stand behind it. if your a racist don't try to coat it in sugar.
To billy J
No billy you are not black , and you know the reason why , billy.
Just stop playing my white brother
WHAT A DESPICABLE, UGLY, RACIST AND HATEFUL THING YOU HAVE DONE! SO YOU'RE A BIRTHER...SO WHAT...SO BE IT. BUT THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS! THE GOP SHOULD IMMEDIATELY OUST YOU!
FOX NEWS THE AMERICAN TERRORISTS song and video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwbXnFU1cYo those guys have created far more suffering to this country then all of the terrorists combined
Billy J you're black? The man I saw was blonde & blue eyed.
Is this your rendition of being black? If this is you your not only a dancer you're a comedian too.
Most white people don't understand that African Americans are sensitive to the racist stuff that is still alive.
Why does the color of my skin determine my future?
Goldie. What? My mom will be very surprised to hear that I am white with blond hair and blue eyes. And a dancer?... I wish. I love your name. You seem like a sweet person.
