Wonkette
The most recent angry Republican to get caught sending an offensive email about the president wants to make it clear, as usual, that he didn’t mean to offend anybody, and in fact “the image has nothing to do with my feelings or thoughts on any race or culture.” He wants to focus on stopping Obama’s health care reform proposal, which should be totally easy now that the whole world knows him as “another racist wingnut” rather than “that neurosurgeon with (kooky) ideas about healthcare.” [TPMMuckraker]
Yeah, the image of a loinclothed savage with a bone through his nose is what comes to mind when most people think of incremental adjustments to the tax code to finance a thorough expansion of the government’s role in health care. Truman’s face was being photoshopped onto the same picture in ‘48.
Jebus. The insincerity of that apology is astonishing.
I love that apology: “My intention was to focus.. was to focus… HOLY SHIT PEOPLE THERE’S A FUCKING COON IN THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE. Um, I mean, on the sanctity of the physician-patient relationship.”
Hey Dr Heywoodjablowme. I could understand Barry’s head on this guy’s body.

Or even this guy’s body.

But a witch doctor? Asshole.
Mark Fuhrman agrees that we should ignore this man’s racist past, and get back to the task at hand.
Hey, the guy “helped organize a career counseling day several years ago for African-American Boy Scouts.” So he’s actually maybe possibly been in the near vicinity of some of “those people” sometime this century. That’s no racist.
I do wonder what kind of “career counseling” he offered. “Sorry, boy, you just don’t have the genetics to be a neurosurgeon. Not your fault. Have you ever considered janitorial work?”
Everyone knows that Serento is African for witch doctor.
We really must design a universal “apology fail” logo for these racist a**hats.
But with all due respect to Dr. Mckalip, I can still say that the state of Florida looks like a limp prick.
Once the federal government gets control of all medical spending, if you wanted a traditional African healer to treat you, you would have to purchase his (her?) services with your own money.
Oh good, he apologized. I guess we don’t have to worry about this ever happening again. Five…four…three…
memzilla: Yeah, with all due respect to Dr. McRacist, which would be none. Eat a bag of stereotypically giant African dicks, you dog fucker.
Memzilla, how about a photo of that ashley chick w/ the backwards B on her face and just put the words FAIL on it? lol by the way has she ever officially said she was sorry for her actions? LOL
Wait! That image is offensive?
And one of his supporters at TPM says “hey, didn’t you ever forward a racist email?” well, no, I never did. I also find it offensive that a number(maybe it is just one or two) of Wonketteers use the “N word” to make a point.
Some of my best boy scout friends are black.
Did the racist wingnut explain exactly WHY he wants to stop healthcare reform?
Because wingnuts don’t think for themselves freakishly, they’re a brainwashed cult.
Oh, ok.
Will “Obamacare” give me choice not to have a racist surgeon cut me open and then decide where to go from there based on his racism? I would much rather get arrested, in my house, by some wingnut cops, than have this jackass with his fingers in my brain.
And I find it offensive that Blazing Saddles used the N word, which I presume is nabob, because I’ve never heard it spoken, thanks to only watching the movie on channels that filter out such offensiveness to enhance the pleasantness of my experience (chocolate bon-bons help, too). I also love the very long commercials where some guy ticks off the side-effects (dick-bleeding, explosive diarrhea, incurable homosexuality) for the too-frequent urination problem he has.
Mahousu:”career counseling for boy scouts” is code for what kind of Repuke sexual activity? I can no longer keep track.
finallyhappy: I’ve never even received a racist e-mail. I’ve gotten sexist “jokes” at work, but it’s a small company, and anything goes. But does everybody else get racist e-mails from friends, family and co-workers?
freakishlystrong: Did the racist wingnut explain exactly WHY he wants to stop healthcare reform?
No, but since he’s a neurosurgeon I expect it is because a rational healthcare system might stop the ever-growing gravy train of endless payment hikes.
finallyhappy: “hey, didn’t you ever forward a racist email?” well, no, I never did.
Neither have I. In fact I’ve never GOTTEN a racist email either, because I don’t give racist dickwads my email address and any racists that I may work with have enough brain cells not to use their work email address for that sort of thing.
But, but… McHarelip can’t be racist! I mean, he helped out a black kid that one time. At boy scout camp. What more proof do you sheeple need?
x111e7thst: “Aw, man, that damn doctor’s coming around to play ‘hide the bratwurst in the pumpernickel again’.”
ASSFLAKES like this need to be on the receiving end of a Larry Craig congresional “probe”.
rev_matt_y: No, I have never gotten one either but my point was that what kind of excuse is that if you do get them??(as the commenter on TPM no doubt does) Wasn’t that the excuse the councilman in Merced gave? “I can’t help what comes into my inbox”- although he forwarded it on.
I do work with dumb dickwads- right before the election, 2 of them were discussing the birth certificate - I said to them - if that was so, do you think he could have become a US senator?, do you think the Clinton and McCain campaigns wouldn’t have jumped all over this? But being dumb dickwads- I am not sure they didn’t think that rightwing nuts weren’t a better source of information than what was obviously so. now they have to live with a Kenyan Indonesian Muslin as their President.

Speaking about birthers….as my SN implies, I’m originally from Hawaii. Born in Wahiawa General Hospital on Oahu.
The certificate that the Obama team produced is the very one I (and anyone else in Hawaii) gets when they ask for a birth certificate from the State Department of Health. I have no “long form”. The certificate Barry and I have was good enough to get me a passport and such.
It’s telling that if a “long form” were readily available to all born in Hawaii, the Chairman of the Hawaii State GOP would be all over Fox “News” waving his “long form” around.
I wish all bithers would be forced to endure a Tabasco enema administered by angry nuns.
“I have had a very hard day. When you stand up and fight effectively for freedom…”
I move that all people who begin mass emails this way be immediately laughed out of the room, (not just the racist ones). There are probably a handfull of people out there who in some context actually do fight for freedom, and they tend not to constantly self-aggrandize.
You know, once that you’ve demonstrated that you are a racist, you might as well own it. Screw you and your apologies, Dr. Ghesuntite. There is probably a Klan meeting in your neighborhood sometime next week so get your hoody on and go join your kind.
finallyhappy: Well, yeah, I guess my (unexpressed) point was that if anyone I know is inclined to send such e-mails, they seem to know not to send them to me. I certainly would never forward one on, and the sender would get a negative response from me. I’m just wondering if many people who aren’t racist actually get racist e-mails, seemingly out of nowhere. And obvs. if you’re forwarding it, you’re endorsing it.
I am a bit impressed that while the apology was completely insincere, it was not the usual wingnut “I am sorry that you overreacted to my good-natured racism”.
I’m very sympathetic to the picture since I’ve often worried that what would happen if we allowed the Ubange’s to take over our health care system.
Here’s the rule of thumb for all the frothing wingnut bigots out there. Next time you’ve got the uncontrollable urge to find a new way to call the Pres. a ni**er, let you little hate-fogged lizard brains go through the motions of what you want to say and then DON’T SAY IT. Then you won’t spend 50% of your tomorrows apologizing for everything you did yesterday.
But since you can’t control yourselves, thanks for the lolz.
rev_matt_y:
I get all of the wingtard emails–including the racist ones–all the time from two different guys.
One of them is some mouthbreather keg party specialist from college. The other is a stockbroker who lives in my neighborhood and who can’t figure out why I won’t be his client.
I’ve heard IRS anal probes are really fun. Keep this image in your head so you can laugh through the tears, you fucking racist prick.
Mahousu: Are we absolutely certain that the African-American scouts were boys? That may have just been how he referred to them.
I wonder if Dr. McSourcock has ever maybe even once said “hello” to a gay person, because then that would mean that he is absolutely not at all against gay marriage and gay adoptions and gay threesomes in his nephew’s treehouse.
rev_matt_y: I have a friend that works at the Federal Agency Responsible for Filing The Pulled Race Card - you know the one that starts with an Equal, ends with a Commission? She sees some of the very people responsible for opening mail and taking complaints about federal occupational racism (like emails), laughing about said discrimination and cracking their own jokes. As in, “Ha ha - why is this guys complaining? My dad used to call them Beaners too!” type-of-shit. (She warned them that their jokes were inappropriate and when they didn’t stop, she reported them to their superiors. Nothing has happened either except now all the judges/attorneys treat my friend like she’s radioactive.)
So sometimes asshole-y racist jokes follows one, I guess is my point.

Apology not accepted, add me to the broken hearts you’ve collected:

On-line images suggest Dr. McKalip is pretty funny looking hisself, without the Photoshop.
If I needed neurosurgery, I’d prefer the doctor who DIDN’T spend time sending assholian emails around, and maybe one who has insurance, which Dr. McKalip doesn’t.
Lascauxcaveman: To paraphrase Richard Pryor “and if you get your ass kicked, you’ll know you said it right!”
Katydid: I, too, have never received a racist E-mail in my life. ONE time, about eight years ago, I did receive an anti-choice E-mail. I wrote back to the person who forwarded it and told him in no uncertain terms I did not share his opinion, never would, and I would hold him responsible for removing me immediately from the offending E-mail list. Haven’t had another one from anybody since. These things are perpetuated by people who share the belief, whether or not they will admit to it.
Hawaiiexpat: Excellent post. One might only suggest the Tabasco be slathered all over your avatar and inserted stem end first.
