I just got CC'd on a s--t eating Obama joke

[PCIntern]

which of course, I will not repeat here...fuck this guy...I was so MAD I COULD CRAP.

So about 2 minutes later, I get another e-mail saying "I sincerely apologize if I offended anyone, I CC'd everyone on the mailing list by mistake." This from a frigging DOCTOR......I suppose he's a buddy of one of my correspondents...how many degrees of separation in this town??? One or two at the most...

So of course, I wrote him a note:


Dear Doctor: I suggest that you take your "sincere" 'apology' and place it elsewhere, for I have no intention of believing for one instant that you really care whether you insult anyone, least of all a fellow professional with your hate speech. I actually possess a fair number of patients who attend your office for medical services which you provide, and even though we have never met, I will try my best to get them to switch to a humanistic, caring, NON-RACIST physician, and I believe that my powers of persuasion, coupled with a PRINTOUT OF YOUR "JOKE", will suffice. I hope you understand that this is business, and I sincerely apologize if this message in any way ruins your day.

"Most definitely" Sincerely,

XXXXXXX XXXXXXX, D.M.D.

1. Well Said!

I fully understand that there are those who do not like the current administration. I didn't like the last one and have my criticism of this one as well. That said, sending out racist jokes or personal attacks of any kind is simply rude and certainly unprofessional.
One would like to think that a Doctor would behave better, but such appears to not be the case.

2. Way to give the Doc a taste of his own medicine!

Kudos to you.

[Sabriel]

3. I hope you hit reply to all on your email

It should go out to everyone who received the original racist email.

[PCIntern]

6. Actually, no and I'll tell you why:

I have no beef with them: whatever their predilections may be, are their business and they had no contact with me -and, I do understand your point...he however, deserves a point-blank shot between the legs in a rhetorical sense of course.

[blondeatlast]

4. '..."if"... I offended anyone. Another way of saying "I'll speak my racist fucking

mind and it's YOUR fault if you are offended." :puke:

Good for you for your excellent response.

[BOG PERSON]

5. was it a racist joke?

is it a joke about actual shit-eating? because i dream about eating shit at least once a week. i hate my brain.

[PCIntern]

8. Yes, no, and get some help... LOL

On edit: your fave film: Pink Flamingos???

[BOG PERSON]

26. i like that movie but i don't think watching it a second time would enrich my life

[ZombieHorde]

9. "i dream about eating shit at least once a week"

Fucking awesome. I love your brain.

20. My Garmin keeps popping up Olive Garden ads

so I can empathize

12. A coprophile, how interesting.

Always wondered if these weird pics on the net were for real. :rofl:

[TalkingDog]

22. A Jungian would suggest you embrace that dream as a positive.

Symbolically Feces is very powerful stuff. The fact that it can induce such revulsion and fascination in people means that it has immense psychological power. And on a physical plane, it is what nourishes plants and helps them to grow.

Producing feces is a "creative" act, but that act of creation separates the powerful substance from the creator. Consuming it could mean you are trying to reintegrate some of those things back into yourself.

If you use that idea as a metaphor for things going on in your life, you can see how working hard to produce something that has your essence in it could create enough anxiety that you feel the need to "reintegrate" or take some of the power back.

Step back from the revulsion and try to tease out what the symbols might mean.

Once you do, the repeating of the dream will decrease or stop altogether.

23. Sometimes I dream that I'm eating records or legos. Then I wake up and realize I was snoring hard.

[PCIntern]

25. sometimes I dream that I'm a wigwam AND a teepee...

then I realize that I'm just "too tense".

[Wednesdays]

31. One time I dreamt I was on a bridge

...but I got over it.

[ZombieHorde]

7. Awesome reply. nt

[bigwillq]

10. Great reply.

:thumbsup:

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. Appreciate it.

The older I get the more I realize how racists have no credibility with me. They shouldn't be allowed to hold positions of leadership because there's no way they can convince minorities that they're not being discriminated against.

19. Racism is not only morally wrong, it is a terribly roadblock to optimal

business performance. Tell any executive that he or she is burning wads of thousand dollar bills by allowing even the hint of racism, the person won't believe what they are being told. But in fact, racism costs businesses billions of dollars every week. I want success in business, that objective can't be achieved by allowing racists to stay employed.

[The Backlash Cometh]

21. I can imagine that one of the reasons they might cost a business

money is because most of them can only prop themselves up by tearing everybody else down around them.

[Kennah]

13. Do you belong to Angies List?

I believe you can now post reviews of doctors on Angies List.

[PCIntern]

15. No and no...

I don't actually like angie's List....I once got a WRITTEN solicitation from them which implied that THEY WOULD POST GOOD REVIEWS OF ME IF I JOINED.

14. I hope he's not as careless with medicine as he is with email!

If, in fact, he "accidentally" sent it out to everyone ...

Kudos!

[Chorophyll]

16. Well done! nt

[liberalla]

17. That's great! I wonder if you'll hear back from him...

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. He'll need a good proctologist to retrieve his "apology"...

...if he takes your advice.

[girl gone mad]

24. oops..

I meant to rec, but I unrecced you. Sorry! :(

[JoeyT]

27. Use a proxy to sign him up for a ton of screwed up mailing lists.

Just kidding.

[samsingh]

28. well said

[Snoutport]

29. Nothing better than letting someone speak for themselves.

Sometimes I think all we have to do with these Tea Party types is just keep sharing what they say when they go too far. Quite a few republicans have come under fire for their mouths lately.

[BoWanZi]

30. What exactly was the joke?

I am just very curious as to what exactly the joke said before I make any judgments. If it was a stupid light-hearted joke, then that is one thing, but if it was really "hate speech", then he deserves all the wrath that he can get.

If you have to change swears to * or whatever then fine but please post the text of the joke.
