California Republicans Call For Obama To Be Tortured

The trend continues

Sacramento County Republican leaders Tuesday took down offensive material on their official party Web site that sought to link Sen. Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden and encouraged people to ‘Waterboard Barack Obama’ – material that offended even state GOP leaders.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has pushed the party to try to broaden its appeal, took issue with the site. ‘In the governor’s view, it’s completely and totally inappropriate,’ said Julie Soderlund, a Schwarzenegger spokeswoman.

    This is disgusting. We demand better out of our elected officials.

    But he defended his Web site. “I’m aware of the content,” he said. “Some people find it offensive, others do not. I cannot comment on how people interpret things.”
