I just found out that the “South Carolina Chamber of Commerce” endorsed Kevin L. Bigot. Time to act.

Email to the South Carolina Chamber of Commerc:

I have recently been informed that the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce supports Kevin Bryant for Senate District 3.

Is this true? Are you aware of the actions of Kevin Bryant and his posting of racist and simply inappropriate pictures on his website comparing Obama to Osama Bin Laden (File Attached)?

Here are a couple articles

If the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce does in fact back Kevin Bryant I will begin a campaign of my own to contact as many of your members as possible to inform them that your organization supports bigotry. I am sick and tired of this State accepting open racism and political trash like this.

Please withdraw your endorsement of Kevin Bryant immediately. I have cc’d the NAACP in order to enlighten them on your organizations position. I look forward to your response.

Senator Bryant now post that he “wanted to create a local discussion of Sen. Obama’s weak commitment to the war on terror”.
His original post had nothing to do with Senator Obama’s commitment to the war on terror. The obvious intent was to depict Obama as a Muslim and/or a terrorist. The logic was that considering Obama sounds like Osama and that if dressed somewhat alike, they must be the same. His message was that if we vote for Obama, it would equate to a vote for Osama because their names are simular. Senator Obama has already been accused of being a Muslim, something that has been proven to be untrue. Senator Brayant’s post was an attempt to rekindle that false notion. To try to sell this concept based on a man’s name and looks is something that isn’t expected out of an elected representative of a state. It’s considerably disturbing that he now flip flops by saying his intentions was to bring up a disscusion on Sen Obama’s stand on the war. What does his looks or the sound of his name have to do with his political thinking?

If a shirt making fun of McCain tried to compare him to Osama I like to think I would act the same way and make a phone call. At the very least I would understand your complaint.

oh and if it were a shirt making fun of Mcain (obviously not your vote) would u even care. As may hero Jim Norton once said, nobody has a problem with a joke until it hits close to home.

Apparently they sold them at the Texas GOP convention.

My issue with Kevin Bryant is not that he has a problem with Obama’s foreign policy. That argument is the entire foundation for the GOP & McCain. My issue is he is sitting in public office and should not partake in political slander as audacious as this.

I’ll make you one @ Cafe Press. I think wearing it will do more damage to the McCain party then good and I will donate all profits to the Obama campaign.

maybe Kevin Bryant has the audacity to ridicule Obama’s foreign policy because Obama simply says whatever he thinks people want to hear at that time. Ex:Obama said that as commander in chief he would remove troops from Iraq and putting them “on the right battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” Just in case you are confused this is the same man who last month was saying we need our troops home now!! Evidently what he didn’t say was that he did’t want to end the war just move it over a little bit. I personally can’t wait to hear what completely changed ideal Obama will come up with next week. Oh and Zane where can i get one of those shirts.

That is a reasonable request. Their names have been removed. The only reason they were there in the first place is they were in the Bio pages I copied and pasted from.

The only article written to get people angry was Kevin’s. Now can you do me a favor and request that your Senator act with some dignity and remove his post and apologize for his ignorance.
