Dacono Councilwoman Quits: Good Riddance

Goodbye and good riddance to Dacono city councilwoman Sandra Tucker. Tucker has announced she will leave the city council following disclosure of her e-mail that left just about no group unoffended.
The email said "... being a Democrat is worse than "being a black disabled one-armed drug addicted Jewish queer" who has a "Mexican boyfriend."
Tucker still doesn't regret the e-mail. She thinks people need a better sense of humor and is tired of political correctness. Tucker's brand of bigotry is not funny and has no place in government. Dacono is far better off without her.

What a lousy human being. I wouldn't let her into my home, much less elect her dogcatcher. Whether she likes it or not, she's a public figure, and she can't just spew sewage out of her mouth with impunity. It's great that she just resigned.

I hate intolerance of any kind. It usually comes about as a result of ignorance and the manner & values with which the offender was raised. Tucker looks the age to have been influenced by the bigotry of the past towards anyone "different" from her lily-white protestant background. The sad part is that she thought everyone else around her would think this pathetic joke was humorous. The only way that people will stop this behavior (even if they still secretly feel it's justified) is to call them on the carpet every time and point out how unacceptable it is. I disagree with the comment to "get over it" (Donnie O.) One should not ever "get over" intolerance, bogotry and prejudice, especially towards those in need of our protection and sympathy.

HA! HA! Good for her. She sums up EXACTLY what kind of scum infect our country. This is not joke, it is the truth.

Intolerance and the inability move away from political correctness is the hallmark of the political division in the country. This is a stellar example of how the left interprets anyone else's views on any level, whether it is invited university guests that gets physically assaulted on stage, or a terrorist from Iran that gets applause on the same stage. The left and the narrow window of political correctness of acceptability is all about what they want to hear and accept. Unfortunately, the joke falls into the abyss of "nappy headed hoes", and like Imus, Tucker should move on to higher ground. I'm also tired of political correctness, the only way to heal these problems is to take them on with tolerance. Sharpton and the rest of the race baiters that have zero tolerance and political correctness only want to continue the fight, to promote the war and never cease the hostilities or allow any attempt at tolerance like Imus or humor like this joke, ever. In their eyes, these should be censored forever and the perpetrators burned at the stake. Welcome to freedom of speech, liberal left style, intolerance 101. Stop paraphrasing the joke, take a deep breath, and get over it. Have you heard the countless jokes going around about Cheney's gay daughter? So what.

She is clearly a Democrat because she not only makes a liberal political statement about blacks, Jews, and gays, but she does it by being as offensive, crass, and insulting as possible, the hallmark of liberal America.

She MUST be a Republican! Does anyone know?
