I received an email a few days ago, and the tactlessness of it has been bothering me for quite awhile. First there is the use of the racial slur. Then there is the message is that it is somehow bad or shameful to lose to an African-American. (offensive language & images behind the cut)

Image One

Then there is this image of the Clintons and Obama that was sent out.
Image Two

Both of these images went out to a large distribution list. Is it any wonder the GOP has issues with minority outreach?

Boy,

Trying to introduce “truth” and “facts” into a liberal melee is like trying to fight wars with ping-pong balls.

“…is like trying to fight wars with ping-pong balls.”

My Navy buddies tell me they get extensive training in this type of warfare during shore leave in Thailand.

Icarus,

The way you constructed your sentence, it appears that you consider your attempts at “truth” and “facts” to be mere ping-pong balls. I agree.

Oops, I meant to address that to Bill.
