Republican's Reaching out to Minorities

What the heck is going on here. You know if I didn't know it, I would think that a bunch of the Republican politicians are a tad racist. First there was this. Sherri Goforth, an executive assistant for Tennessee State Rep. Diane Black (R-Gallatin), sent this picture out to their legislative staffers. Picture below. A prominent South Carolina GOP activist, Rusty DePass, said on his Facebook page that Michelle Obama was a gorilla. And another South Carolina Republican operative, Mike Green, apologized for a racist Tweet against President Obama himself: I just heard that Obama is going to impose a 40% tax on aspirin because it's white and it works. Or how about Newt Gingrich Tweeted that Sonia Sotomayor was a "Latina woman racist" who should withdraw her nomination. I know that these are not a majority of Republicans, but where is the outrage from other Republicans.

They certainly don't make their party look good.
