Freeper Running for Rahm's Seat Apologizes for Bigoted Freeper Posts She Made
Edited on Wed Apr-01-09 12:54 AM by SemiCharmedQuark
From Progress Illinois:

"As we noted on Monday, a newly-created blog has been compiling inflammatory comments posted to the Free Republic website by Rosanna Pulido, the Republican candidate in the 5th Congressional District race. For years, Pulido has contributed to the right-wing site under the nickname "chicagolady."

Here are links to some of her more outrageous comments:

- Pulido thinks Obama will sell black people into slavery.
- Pulido will give her guns to liberals “bullets first”.
- Pulido says Muslims at prayer remind her of a dogs “smelling buts ”.
- Pulido calls gay men “fudge packers”…a lot.
- Pulido says offering amnesty to illegal immigrants will cause an African-American genocide.
- Pulido believes in hanging politicians for treason when it comes to immigration.
- Pulido has been calling Obama “Osama” since 2004.
- Pulido thinks stealing is part of Mexican culture.
- Pulido thinks that Mexicans are the “new Ku Klux Klan with the tan”.

Despicable stuff, but not really surprising considering her previous statements, associations, and policy positions. Nonetheless, the revelations led several conservative bloggers in the area to withdraw their support for Pulido, citing "new concerns."

Apparently feeling the heat, "chicagolady" left this note on the Free Republic site on Wednesday evening:

"Dear Friends and fellow FReepers, I want to tell you what has transpired. Every now and then we get a chance to make things right.

In 2003 I did some crude joking on Freerepublic. You folks are correct, you need to watch what you say. I truly believe that telling the truth is the way to live.

I was called to task by some folks who sponored a Congressional 5th district reception last night.

I made some derogatory comments, that I had to take responsibility for. I will not make excuses for my bad behavior.

I had a chance to apologize to people I hurt.

They were cordial and accepted my apology and I can move on now.

Also A Muslim man who is my good friend called me. We talked about some other stupid comments I made and I had the opportunity to take responsibility for what I said. Actually this campaign is not as important to me as doing the right thing when I screw up and hurt people and my friends.

I am learning some hard lessons and so be it. We all have joked and said stupid things. I am having a human experience.

The fact that I am having some time to communicate and make things right really means a lot to me. I am humbled by the response of the people who feel offended. They have offered me their forgivness, which I am thankful for."

But note that *first* she tried to see if the blog that reported her was violating rules by pointing out her hatefilled comments on their blog.

17. Ugh I think i'll have nightmares now........
Edited on Wed Apr-01-09 03:12 AM by Joe the Liberal
why are they all so damn ugly? seriously, it's one thing to be ugly on the inside but on the outside too? Does being a dick take a toll on how you look? She looks possessed!

It kind of reminds me of this video game I used play, it was a Star Wars video game. Basically you could choose for your character to either be on the "Dark side" or the "Light side". If you went on the "Dark side" you characters appearance would start to change, he or she would become disfigured and just plain ugly. There's another game that has a similar game mechanic that does something similar too, but I won't get into that.

and why do they always wear something with the American flag on it? Like a shirt that is the American flag? Ok your pretending to be patriotic, we get it, now just go away. Seriously, by wearing that are they trying to imply that those who don't wear something with the American flag are not as patriotic? I hope she does not win, she will be worse than Michelle Bachmanns crazy ass, the last thing this country needs a idiot freeper lunatic in congress, we already have a few, we don't need anymore.

46. Freepers love symbols.
Flags and crucifixes. Slap one one to show the sincerity of your beliefs.

It can also be used to identify members of a "club." Freepers can't think for themselves. They need a leader to think for them.

3. You want to know why I'm PROUD to be a part of this board?
Because, as much as we argue, we NEVER have to caution one another to "watch what we say" either because it's hateful, sexist, racist or homophobic, or because we might risk a visit from the Secret Service.

In short, we have what is referred to here in the south as "home training."

That bunch of crude idiots. :eyes:

I'm mostly a smartass, but anything can be construed in a certain way when a person runs for office, which I might at some point. Then again, my smartassishness is part of my folksy charm.

8. Why is she apologizing???
She's an ignorant, bigoted degenerate who clearly and consistently expressed her ugly, perverse
opinions.

Again and again--she was consistent. This wasn't one or two...r even five posts. This idiot
repeatedly, was very clear and consistent about her very right-wing views.

She's not sorry...how can someone be sorry about who they truly are?

She's upset she got caught and she thinks a hollow apology will make it go away.

This nimrod doesn't have a chance in hell of being elected to ANYTHING.

She'll be lucky if she can ever show her face in public again. If she thinks she's running
for elected office, she's even more dumb than her outrageous posts.

...and that's a heap load of dumb.

15. WTF she IS Mexican, those outrageous comments she made are about herself and her family......
just look at her page on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosanna_Pulido

"Rosanna Pulido is a Mexican American who was born and raised in the 5th Congressional District. She is a descendent of Mexican immigrants. Her grandfather was a Mexican farmworker and her father, who was born in Texas and raised in Mexico, moved to the Chicago area as a young immigrant to find work and make a better life for himself and his family."

18. Here's another link on this
http://www.chitowndailynews.org/Media_Insider/Lost_opportunities_How_blogs_uncovered_the_chicagolady,24187

I don't know what's worse. The woman's comments or all of her damn typos. Even in her freaking "apology," she mispelled half the words there.

There is no question that she is a Freeper. Racist and stupid? Check. Damn near illiterate? Double check. I don't know how in hell she could pull off a win, but with Michelle Bachmann in Congress, we all know that anything is possible.

31. What is important is that Mike Quigley won the seat, not the freeper.
It's a very liberal district. Quigley got the endorsements of the Trib and Suntimes in the primary. They endorsed him because he is truly reform minded and has worked hard doing this on the Cook County Board. BTW he has had strong ties to DFA (the liberal group Democracy For America). Many liberals in Chicago are angry that he won because he will no longer be on the county board and they REALLY need his voice and his leadership.

He will be much more impressive than Rham IMO.

Well,...

technically.

I know, I know, in Chicago the REAL election is the Democratic Primary, but the GE isn't until next Tuesday, so Pulido still has the chance of a snowball in hell of winning the thing.
