This photo is shameful, but really, is anyone here surprised? Obama gets elected, and suddenly the world is a bright place where everyone likes each other and no one hates anyone or mistreats anyone? No. SOME things may have changed, but the world is still an ugly place. Some people want to change that. But I don’t think the lady who sent this email is one of them.

So she sent to the wrong email list. What was the *right* email list? To whom is it at all appropriate to send racist jokes and pictures to? So she hit the work list instead of her buddy list?

Don’t fire the poor woman if she has kids. Two wrongs won’t make this right. I just wish racism had left when we tried to kick it out, instead of moving all its trash up to the attic.

Oh by the way, I am a Black woman from Harlem. maybe.

Ok, this is going to make people mad but. It is funny! I am sorry I saw it and it made me laugh. Is this a person who is a Klu Klux Klan member in the closet. Did she vote for him, maybe it was a harmless joke , she thought it was funny and she stupidly forwarded it. I get many, many, sexist jokes sent to me all the time. I have to remind myself not to forward them because I could get into trouble. I am not making excuses for her , I am simply cautioning that we may start to blow everything up and punish people when they have lapses of judgement that do not harm people. It was a dumb joke (though I did laugh myself). Give the girl a break, and let’ just all get along. Oh, by the way I am a Black woman from Harlem.

This is so very interesting to read the opinions here. Those of you who feel that this is no big deal, feel that a comedian telling a joke is no different than a “civil servant” sending an unauthorized e-mail through taxpayer funded computers to a bunch of politically connected unethical readers. The entire incident is a violation of government employee work guidelines. Ms. Goforth should be dealt with according to company policy, whether the joke was about the president or her boss.

Sherri Goforth’s “joke” was just as bad as David Letterman’s. So why is HE getting off the hook?

What Letterman said was a sexist, filthy, lewd, perverted slander of a MINOR. If GOFORTH gets fired, LETTERMAN should be, too!

DOUBLE STANDARD !!!

Can we get a list of people that Goforth intended to send this e-mail to?

As this Newsy report mentions, anything sent from a political staff person these days is fair game on the blogosphere. Screw up and you must pay the price with public opinion and even you job.

You people need to stop being such hypocrites.

As a previous poster said, if the show was on the other foot, all the Democrats/Progressives/Communists would be laughing at their joke.

Makes me sick that these people call this ‘hate’ and get special laws to protect them.

Americans – wake up! Your country is being taken over by third world peoples! Stop the madness!!!

The point remains that any hate mail coming from a governmental office should bare full reprimand and immediant dismissal. Zero tolerence for hate mail should be the norm. As for patriot, is this how deteriorated our idea of patritism has become?

to all the 2faced hipocrites that call themselves nonracist are you also siding with the sexist/racist supream court nominee???
if you doside with her then SHUT UP. until you open your eyes to what is really going on around yourself(that would be in your tiny brain)then you have no right to judge the actions of others. as for Sherri Goforth, grow up people this would not even be here if it were done by any nonwhite. whats good for one has to be good for the other.
racist are needed to show the world that you can servive without any brains, and as a disply of a waste of DNA
