Who Is That GA Congressman Who Got The Swastika Painted On His Sign Yesterday?

[BlooInBloo]

He's on msnbc now. Sounds like a really, really good guy. Anyone from down there that can confirm my feeling? (Or deny it)

1. David Scott (D)....CBC and Blue Dog

10. He supports the public option nt

[PA Democrat]

2. Congressman Scott. OMG, what was that he was reading?

[BlooInBloo]

3. Typical piece of hate mail, I assume.

[Uzybone]

4. yep...replete with the "n" word

Obama hatred, socialism charges and death threats.

[BlooInBloo]

7. Yep. Just like Kos' weekly hatemailapalooza, fortified with extra racism.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. It was very disturbing indeed.

[PA Democrat]

5. I just caught the end of it and I DARE anyone to say that racism isn't a primary factor

with those mobs showing up at town halls. I did see that the pig who stole and ripped up that woman's Rosa Parks poster was arrested. That's a good start.

9. It doesn't have to be *remotely* plausible in order for saying it to be effective...

There just has to be a lot of white folks going along with it - no matter how implausible - and saying it will win, just by popular vote.

It's wonderful being the foxes.

11. The Ethiopian cannot make himself white.

Scott showed a letter similar to one received by Rep. Brian Baird (D-WA), showing the President Obam-as-Joker picture with the message, "Death to all Marxists! Foreign and Domestic!" The letter contained a message for Scott, who is black: "To: NIGGA DAVID SCOTT / You were / You are / And / You shall forever be a nigga!" It added, "The Ethiopian cannot make himself white."

Another letter said that Scott will go down in defeat at the next election, "and any of your colored constituents ain't gonna stop it. The folks are not going to stand for socialized medicine, even though most negroes refuse to stand on their own two feet."

"But we have to understand is," Scott said, "we can't let these kinds of racist things, or that swastika, win this debate. And that is not gonna happen."

12. Weird that they transcribed "gonna" that way.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. I could be wrong but I think that one was hand-written. Ugly at any rate.

But, it's finally coming out.

[BlooInBloo]

16. Nah - the last thing you quoted Scott as saying in your previous post.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. I must be getting punchy tired. I'm afraid I missed something.

Time to go sneak a nap I guess.

[Critters2]

22. This makes me really sad for this nation.

And after being so ecstatic last November. Le plus ca change...

6. David Scott is the U.S. Representative for the 13th District of Georgia,

representing portions of 6 counties: Cobb, Clayton, Douglas, Fulton, Henry, and DeKalb.

Cobb County is where the sign was painted on the sign.

I call that "Newt Country"

[BlooInBloo]

14. Are there actually newts there?

:P

[csziggy]

15. Yes, Red-spotted Newts

Here is an eft, or juvenile one:

17. hahaha! Awesome.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. Aww. How cute. We grow them bigger here in the PNW.

[csziggy]

23. Damn, that looks like an alien! Is that Vern (Jim Varney) holding it?

I'd probably freak if I saw one of those in person in the wild. We might have big snakes, alligators, and crocodiles here in Florida, but our native lizards and salamanders are small enough to be cute.

26. Is that a real reptile?

Pretty big....I don't think I would want to meet one of those late at night.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

27. No.

It's a real amphibian.

28. Ah!

Thank you--thank you very much.

[CatWoman]

18. as in "Newt Gingrich"

[BlooInBloo]

20. Yah - I knew that's what you meant. :)

[marmar]

21. Is Marietta in Cobb County?

I accompanied a group of students on a tour of historically black colleges and we stopped there briefly before heading into Atlanta. It was the most uncomfortable situation I've ever been it. You could cut the racial tension with a sword.

[Orsino]

24. My district.

Oh, well. Scott is an improvement, I guess, over my former "representative," Phil Gingrey--whose predecessor was Bob Barr. x(
