Racist Photos Sent to GOP Rising Star Mia Love

By
September 26, 2012

From the Deseret News. Must be those racist conservative Republicans.

A packet of information sent to Mayor Mia Love’s office that city officials described as racist launched a police investigation Tuesday.

City Manager Mark Christensen described the contents of the thick envelope as “disturbing” and “pretty creepy stuff.” He said it included a picture of Love and her husband, Jason, and a hooded Ku Klux Klan character. There also were pictures of aborted fetuses, he said.

“I couldn’t tell if it was threatening or anything. It kind of shocked me, what I saw,” he said….

“I want you to know, I want everyone to know I am comfortable in my skin. I’m comfortable and proud of my heritage. I’m proud of who I am. I know where I’m going and I know what we need to do to get this country back in order again. There isn’t anything that anyone can send me that will distract me from that so they can bring it,” she said.

    Just the old regular stuff from the libs. Oh wait a minute…. They can’t be racists they are liberals.

    • John Mellor says:

      It says a black woman received racist letter. Where does it say it was sent by a liberal? It could have been sent by any nutjob for any number of reasons. The problem with this country is not liberals; it’s not conservatives. It’s idiotic and shallow thinking like this: making up your mind with nothing to back it up. Then finger-pointing and name-calling like a child. This is what children do. And you seem to think it’s helpful. Shove off.

      • Al Brady says:

        Yeah, John. So, you obviously believe it was a conservative as your liberals are too nice and supportive to have done this? Or Maybe you’re saying that liberals have moral standards too high to have done this? A thinking individual would probably believe only the liberals would profit from doing something that might distract a meaningful and productive conservative leader. Your low candlepower, but indignant drivel is noted.

      • mrbenz7 says:

        Let me get this straight, it was a CONSERVATIVE who called Mia Love a “Dirty whore” and “GOP House Nigger”? Yeah, RIGHT! Talk about desperation and being oblivious of the facts! ROFLMAO

  2. Christopher Braun says:

    Who is surprised at this? The KKK was founded by Democrats, who used it to enforce Jim Crow laws in the South.

  3. Kara says:

    It is disheartening that such ignorant people still exist in this world. I hope they find whoever sent this package and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Please vote Obama/Biden 2012!!!

    • Darrell Marshall says:

      Really Kara, you decry this hypocrisy then say please vote Obama/Biden, the very hypocrites whose legacy, whose total lack of transparency and lack of leadership and lack of American values IS and has created the very racism you just decried. You decrcy this and yet you would allow Obama to support Islam and turn his nose down on the judeo-christian values that this country was founded on. Really?

      • Betty Woehrmeyer says:

        Darrell, your facts are wrong !! Obama does not support Islam. It was not Obama who was taped dismissing 47% of Americans. All people have the right of freedom of religeon,even Mormons…..

        • Gloria says:

          I am sorry he did not dismiss 47% of Americans. He just said that 47% of Americans were going to vote Dem no matter what so his message would not affect them. He is concentrating on the 53%.

        • kat says:

          Betty. You need to listen to Romneys speech again in whole. He was not dismissing 47%. We have heard Obama speak many times about supporting Islam and we are not at war with Islam. Go watch the video of a man in Egypt that did an honor killing of a woman in a market. Done because the womans son killed the guys brother. This was okay because that is sharia law and that is what Islam wants. Amazing how things get twisted around. Romney said since this 47% pay no federal taxes he would not be able to sway their vote regarding taxes. Obama does not care…all he cares about is being eye candy on the View and telling the people who watch Letterman that we should not worry about the deficit. Really? Somebody should because he does not.

        • Charlie T says:

          And Betty…all people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, even passengers on 4 hi-jacked planes on 9/11/2001.

        • Rhodesway says:

          You did say “does not support Islam” ?
          Nurture your brain child !
          The man relishes the use of Taqiyya – and abhors the idea that he could be called a ‘terrorist’!
          Until we can be rid of him – he will remain our Islamic Inspired – Communist influenced – Progressive President – Barack Hussein Obama !

        • CAB says:

          Okay, Betty…..why, then, would
          President Obama and Secretary of State
          Clinton run television advertisements in
          Islamic nations apologizing for a video
          legally posted to You Tube by an American citizen? Why would the current President and Secretary of State scorn the insult
          to Islam and beg for forgiveness from Islamic nations? Can you please rationally explain that one? While you are at it,
          please explain why the government
          officials have mentioned that they must
          balance freedom of speech and violence
          across the Middle East as a result of an
          American exercising his right to free
          speech? Oh….and please explain why the
          Feds are trying to criminally charge the
          man who posted a video that allegedly
          caused violence in the Middle East? I am
          curious how this can be explained…..

    • Mary Jean Scudieri says:

      Why Kara, so we can have the country really be ruined? It is disheartening that you still don’t get it!

    • joe grit says:

      Kara you really want to live in a Utopian socialist society? we’ll lose our freedom and most of all our DIGNITY as human beings .

    • patrick says:

      How about getting the 2 shakedown artist get involved meaning Al & Jesse?

      What do you think are the odds, they will start a protest? hmmm…

    • Joan says:

      Oh my Kara, for you to make a generalized statement and not point a finger is just
      crazy! Heaven knows that because the dems of yesteryear created the KKK, must mean they all still support it! And we all know that the financial crisis was caused by Obama. He also is to blame for every single thing wrong in this country today! And oh yes, Obama created racism too. Amazing the power that man has! From reading these posts, one would think we are a nation of total racists. I am not pro Obama nor Pro Romney, tho I almost hope Romney wins to see who you will blame for the problems he creates. You’ll blame Obama, it’s all his fault. Personally, I wish an independant would run and win Can’t be any worse than the “lack of leadership” now, or than a man who thinks airplane windows should open. But Romney is clearly the obvious choice… he’ll have less to worry about in the White house; what with the 47% less people he will have to worry about! GO ROMNEY!

      • Estill Mills says:

        that is the biggest piece of garbage I have ever heard .. I think you got all the Demo “talking-points” in .. :) : ..

      • LALA says:

        Joan you sound like someone who has been brainwashed by the Obama propaganda machines-CNN-MSNBC and the networks. Obama has been a total faillure in every way as a President and the liberal media attack dogs know this so they distort everything Romney says or does. Obama gets a pass on a second 9/11 attack on his watch-and the liberal media focuses on Romney’s reaction. Obama hops to a fundraiser and the media does not see a problem. He his a lazy narcissist who only knows how to campaign He has no idea how to lead a country, as is evidenced in his record as President. By the way, do you still blame Bush for everything, as he continues to do? It is mind boggling that anyone would even CONSIDER casting another vote for him!

      • CAB says:

        I just liberals don’t like it when Obama
        is blamed for everything….but are
        adamant in their insistence Bush is to blame for everything….even your bad hair
        day. Seriously….when did our nation
        grow so ignorant and stupid? It’s always
        the last President’s fault, just like at
        a job….it’s alwys the fault fo the
        last one fired or last one to quit…just human nature

      • trey lean says:

        ok, this country was going down any way, Obama had nothing to do with this. And how could he have created racism when its been going on for years and years now. Isn’t that why whites had african americans as their slaves back then…. exactly, so obviously Obama had nothing to do with this country and you try making every citizen in this nation happy, we all have different opinions and this is mine. Yours is yours, of course he didn’t always make great dicisions but he tried and “lack of leadership” he is the one who is working day and nnight trying to fix what has ALREADY been going on in this world.

    • Cozette says:

      Really Kara? Give me one good reason I
      should vote obama?

    • Sarah Boynton says:

      Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, with many socialist ideas of his own, was also a member of the KKK, along with many others of the Democrat party.

    • Nate says:

      Kara,

      If you want to see racism then look at what libs do and say to black conservatives like Mia Love, this is a perfect example of libs racism. Who do you think send the package? Do you think that some conservatives send it to prove that libs are racist? Libs have been caught doing that where they have faked racist attacks on themselves to claim that conservatives are racist, but not once have they found or proven that conservatives have done that. We have a live and let live policy for the most part, if they did it themselves then they should be ashamed of themselves. I bet they will find that it’s a dem of high stature that is behind this.

    • Al Brady says:

      Kara, you misled person, it was your fellow liberals that sent this racist garbage. I, too, hope that they will be identified and prosecuted massively! Please vote Obama out of office so that an unfettered DOJ might prosecute those who approved the ‘fast and furious’ project with multiple murder (over 300) and murder of a low enforcement officer. Then justice might begin.

    • Rebecca says:

      It is disheartening. Racists still exist in every walk of life. This should be viewed as just that. Keep the politics out of it. One side is as bad as the other.

  4. Carol Michaels says:

    It must be confusing to African Americans. The left tries to portray the right as being the racist party and then actively terrorizes anyone of color who publicly pronounces conservative views. We are praying for you Mia, that you stay strong through all this. Your courage is admirable.

  6. Janet says:

    Kara you can’t be serious! Vote for BO/Biden, it’s their side that send garbage like this.

    • Betty Woehrmeyer says:

      Janet, this garbage comes from romneys side …Just routine republican racism. hmmm Romney suffers from foot-in-mouth disease.OB is ahead in the polls….imagine that!!

      • Ragspierre says:

        Yep. You will believe anything the Moonbattery tells you. What a tool.

      • Miss Kathleen Craigie says:

        OHHHH, PLEASE!!!!!! It is the LEFT that canot STAND the idea of TRUE INDEPENDENCE from
        anyone that they consider to be their own personal VOTING BLOCK and how dare ANY of them, whether it be blacks or women, et al, not drinking their Leftist Kool-Aid… They go after people like Sarah Palin and Allen West and Herman Cain… and now Mia Love, all because they REFUSE to be cookie cutter SPECIAL INTEREST zombies… and so what do they do but go on the attack, being as vicious and petty as they can be, and then, as in in this case, try to make it look like it comes from the RIGHT, since we’re all so “narrow-minded” and “intolerant” — One recent remark has Debbie Wasserman calling Mia Love a “pretty shell” — and I could only think, EXCUSE ME!?! NOT TOO JEALOUS, ARE WE, MS. WASSERMAN…. and she also called all of the ladies at the Republican convention, SHINY PACKAGES, and I doubt VERY MUCH that she meant that as a compiliment… It is always the LEFT that is calling everyone and everything RACIST now adays…. They have a total OCD with Race, I swear…. even though it is the LEFT that supports PLANNED PARENTHOOD that was founded by margaret sanger to ERADICATE the BLACK RACE in America through abortion. Just keep people dependent and hopeless and they will keep getting abortions. The game plan of the radical Democrat Left, while they keep trying to portray themselves as the WARM AND FUZZY Liberals who are ALWAYS looking out for the underdog…blah, blah… yeah, right……….NOT!!!

  7. joe grit says:

    tell he janet ,what a fool

  8. David says:

    Sick and sad vote Hussein Obama out if office.

  9. Dave says:

    Mia, you’ve apparently got it together. I’m behind you all the way. Keep up the good fight.

  10. Bryan Beardsley says:

    Why is the Left so afraid of a conservative black woman or man? Could it be because they have good work ethic, morals, honor, and don’t believe in hand-outs?

  11. Al Ray says:

    This racist rant came from no liberal!!
    How misguided some people are. How about redneck trash? How’s that for an option?
    They stopped voting Dem back in ’68.

  12. Rick says:

    wow, so let me understand, the Democrats are all really racist and the Republicans are the ones who represent the minorities in this country…I have had it backwards all these years…

    • Ragspierre says:

      Yeah.

      You just catching up here?

      The Deemocrats are the party of institutionalized racism.

    • Tom says:

      Well rick, if you are a black liberal,then yes , you have had it wrong all these years. The problem Rick, you are so blinded by magic kool aid, you’ll never ever be able to the light of day..,

    • Betty Woehrmeyer says:

      No, you had it right…its the repub. thatdislike the minorities..Dems. do not descriminate….

      • Ragspierre says:

        That is a lie, and you are a liar.

        Deemocrats INSIST on discrimination.

      • Rosa says:

        And you’re just ignorant if you think that. Democrats are and have always been racists. They fought to keep slaves, fought reconstruction, fought for segregation, founded the KKK, etc. Their institutionalized racism has effectively enslaved millions of minorities, including far too many of my extended family with welfare and entitlements. Those old white democrats, through these systems, have put blacks, hispanics, etc. exactly where they want them: at the bottom, with no way up. Their system has created our current issues, doing something insidious while saying “No no we’re trying to -help- you, THEM! They’re the racists!”. You’re just an ignorant.

        • Betty Woehrmeyer says:

          you need to educate your family then.. my family NEVER received welfare, food stamps,etc. They were proud to support themselved. There is always a way up.You work your way up.It is the wealthy repubs who send our jobs to other countries for cheap labor. Romney outsourced jobs to other countries without caring about American workers. You are racist—talking about old white democrats,and ignorant too. Democrats support all people regardless of race…

          • Ragspierre says:

            You poor, brain-washed wretch!

            Learn some history before you further embarrass yourself.

            Start with the racist policies of the Progressives under Wilson. Look up the racist policies of trade unions. Next, read up on the founder of Planned Parenthood, and her warm association with eugenics.

            Good grief, what must it be like to be such a gullible tool!?!?

          • sonni says:

            Coming from a black female’s point of view who is conservative, I think you’re nuts. Republicans were on the forefront of the civil rights movement while democrats tried to keep us bound. Blacks started to turn their backs on the republicans when welfare was introduced. It has kept minorities bound to the government for decades. Most who have it don’t even need it. They just want a free handout. I know a few people on government assistance who works a job, has a nice car, pays little to NO rent, get WIC assistance, and has the new iPhone already. Democrats want us dependent on the government for everything. Food, housing, healthcare, money and the middle-class will get the bill. So democrats may be ok with gays and they may seem to be all buddy buddy with the poor and minorities, it’s all a front. They have NEVER cared about blacks, Latinos, any minorities, or the poor.

          • Charlie T says:

            Betty…In 1994 Democratic President Clinton signed off on the NAFTA bill that allowed manufacturing jobs to leave America and move to the Mexican border in what is known as Maquilidora operations. Millions of American manufacturing jobs moved south to Mexico because of cheap labor.

            In Executive Order 12850, Democrat president Bill Clinton restored Favored Nation Status to China, thus resuming the import of low tech Chinese made items into the U.S. and the loss of even more American manufacturing jobs

            Then in 1995 Clinton iced the cake with EO 12867 which revoked Geo. Bush Executive Order 12730 which banned the export of all U.S. technology to China. When this technology control was lifted by Bill Clinton’s EO, it allowed the unlimited export of almost all U.S. technology toChina by companies like AT&T, IBM, Kodak, GE, etc. to outsource millions of more manufacturing jobs to SE Asia including the Chi-Comms. Clinton and the corporate execs got filthy rich, and American workers lost just about everything they had. No more jobs, no more paychecks, no more middle class life. Far worse was now thanks to Bill Clinton China has most U.S. technology that was protected for years.

            Shortly after this activity you will all remember that Chinese “businessmen” contributed millions of dollars to Clinton’s 1996 campaign.

            You, Betty, are wrong with just about everything. Point the finger of blame at Bill Clinton for initiating the decline of our nation and the direct cause for the loss of millions and millions of American middle class jobs.

  13. Rick says:

    mmmmmm….magic kool-aid! sounds delicious! Now i’m wondering if the Kool-Aid man is a Dem or Republican…

  14. Rick says:

    just a quick observation, while watching the conventions I saw an awful lot of minorities represented at the DNC and little to none at the RNC, maybe I had too much Kool-Aid that day but, if the Republicans have always been there for the minorities then why is this so?

    • Rosa says:

      Apparently you weren’t paying attention then. But is it really surprising? If a minority publicly outs themselves as a republican, they are automatically ostracized and vilified as a “traitor to their race” by democrats at large. They are painted as being strange, eccentric, or backwards s for their choices. I think there’s a word for that.. oh right. Racism.

    • Ragspierre says:

      Willful blindness, I suggest.

      And rank ignorance of American history.

      Well, and being extremely gullible.

      The young lady this post is about spoke at the RNC, and you never saw her. Why?

      The RNC speakers roster was rich with women and minorities. Why didn’t you see them?

      You need to review the YouTube videos. And ask yourself who is keeping you in the dark, and why. And how much is your own doing.

    • Will Ricciardella says:

      The conservative ideals are their for ALL people. We don’t see race, creed, religion or gender. We stand for the right of each INDIVIDUAL to LIBERTY and the pursuit of happiness. Tell me how the Democrats are “there” for minorities? Are you implying that minorities can’t reach success on their own, they need the aid of a political party? I strongly disagree.

      • Betty Woehrmeyer says:

        Will, of course minorities can reach success on their own, our President of the United States is from a monority !!!!! Democrates from all walks of life came from minorities…..we all did…You sound confused and your facts are wrong,but then repubs.revel in distorting the facts.

    • Betty Woehrmeyer says:

      because they have not been there for them…

    • LALA says:

      Rick you were probably watching one of the networks or CNN or MSNBC. They conveniently cut out the many great speeches made by minorities to suit their own agenda and protect the idea that The GOP is racist. The coverage of this election by the Obama propaganda machines as been disgusting.

    • Nate says:

      Rick,

      You wonder why the dems convention was so much more diverse then republicans convention was, that’s because the dems ENFORCE diversity on their national convention that’s why. They order that a certain number of blacks and other minorities HAVE to be represented at their national convention. The republicans don’t give a crap about what race you are, anyone can get elected to go to the national convention, not so with the dems. Republicans don’t care about someones race, dems sure do. Why did republicans have so many minorities speak if republicans are so racist, I didn’t see many minorities speak at the dem convention as republican one.

    • Nate says:

      Hey Rick,

      What’s more important the color of the people AT the convention or the color of the people SPEAKING AT the convention? Because if you did a comparison of the people speaking at the convention I bet republicans had as many or more minorities speaking as dems did.

    • All white guy says:

      My name was given to me by a South Korean Air Force officer who I helped become an American citizan. Now to all those brain dead odumba supporters, pull you head out of your ass. odumba has done more to hurt Americans than any one person that I can think of except Jimmy Carter. Damn wake up and open your eyes. The is none so blind a he who can see but won;t open his eyes.

  15. Rick says:

    funny thing is that most posts I see from conservatives paint liberals as “strange,eccentric and backwards, aside from the expletives mixed in..

  16. Will Ricciardella says:

    Is this really a surprise? The libs are only tolerant to those that think the same way. They don’t see individuals only the collective. They are intolerant to differing opinions and because their ideology is debunked by political history they can’t argue facts only hate. Ask the next union member wearing a Che T-shirt, They’ll tell ya.

  17. mark says:

    I’m white and I love Mia Love!! You go girl!!

    Where’s Jessie “Shakedown Artist” Jackson & Al “Not So Sharp” Sharpton? they got to be very mad, right? Got to defend the sista from the racist elements of our society, this is a war against women…

    What are the odds of these guys starting a nationwide protest like the “Occupy Whatever” protest group? Let’s see zero, nada, zilt… you got that right…

    • Al Brady says:

      Patrick, we know that neither Jessie nor Al are going to be concerned for Mia Love. They know where their riches come from. Yes, they’ve come from common folk to ‘quite prosperous’ by pandering to the liberal / leftist crowd. They couldn’t care less for any conservative minority lady, it wouldn’t pay them to do so. They know which side ‘butters their bread’.

  23. Betty Woerhmeyer says:

    I pick my boogers and eat them. I have a poster of Obama in my basement that I whack off to then daddy brings me Doritos and I lick the crumbs off his fingers. I love Obama, I want to fellate him all the time.

  24. Jason says:

    Also for those that do not know the facts: the financial collapse of 2007 that started this recession was based on the collapse of the housing markets and financial institutions use of bad loan bundling. This housing collapse was caused when Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were told to deregulate home loans and make more loans available to those that can not afford to purchase a house. This was done by Pres Clinton. The banks were then forced to provide loans for houses to those people who would never have qualified before. This was then followed by a housing boom. The problem was people were able to purchase more house at higher prices then they were able to pay for in the long run. At some point in the future these loans became due and low and behold people could not pay. More and more loans began to default. Banks knowing they had made bad loans on thenurging of the government

  25. Jason says:

    Continuation-

    Banks knowing they had made bad loans bundled those loans into other types of investments to mitigate their losses. Soon as those loans defaulted the investments they were bundled with also lost value. Soon there was a rapid loss of wealth both in physical dollars (investments) and material (loss of houses to foreclosures).

    This was all set up by poor democratic policy trying to intervene in free markets.

    As to the coverage of the RNC. There were multiple minorities who were speakers at the conference. Check the Internet for their speeches.

  26. Dave Berry says:

    Stand Strong Mia! The Silent Majority is routing for you! We are slowly becoming the un-silent majority with all of this rediculous BS!!!

  27. Thomas Kirby says:

    My prayers do go out to Mia and her family. The truth of the matter is that we don’t know who sent this crap. So, we don’t know if it is a liberal or a conservative. Until, we have identified the culprit, we need to all refrain from making accusations. However, with that point made, it is unbelievable that this story hasnt been picked up by the mainstream media. Or, that NO black/civil rights leadership has made a statement supporting Mia. The real story, is the lack of a story. When a member of a tea party led protest was accused of spitting on a member of the CBC..it was all over FB and on every network for over a week….here nothing but crickets.
