Vera Eyzendooren, the president of the San Bernardino County Federation of Republican Women — an official party group — slammed Dhillon in a recent Facebook post, which included a photo of an Islamic terrorist who beheaded two people.

“I was told by one of Harmeet’s friends that because of her religion, her loyalty is to the Muslim religion,” Ms. Eyzendooren wrote on Facebook. “So she will defend a Muslim beheading two men without any hesitation……she is not a Republican.”...

The San Bernardino GOP women’s president is not the only one leveling nasty comments aimed at Dhillon’s race and religion.

San Francisco GOP activist Gail Neira, in a recent widely circulated letter, wrote: “This particular woman candidate for state v.p. appears to see herself as the dowager princess with the CAGOP as her Taj Mahal.”

Come to think of it, why is she a repuke? As a Sikh, she must have been heartbroken by the mass shooting at the Sikh gurdwara (temple) in Wisconsin. Yet she is running for VP of the Guns Only Party. :eeys:

2. How can people overlook the inherent racism in modern Republicanism?

Racism, fear, hate, FAIL, domination and control are core Republican values as they demonstrate repeatedly.

Get a frikken clue.

3. Sikhs and Muslims are not even remotly the same damn thing.

This just goes to further prove, regardless of assertions to the contrary, that the Republican party and Tea Party movement are built on racism and white hegemony.

6. You would think these repugs would do some research or something

Sikhs are Sikhs, not Muslims.

God, these low-info people! How do they get in charge of repug organizations and then make their exclusionary pronouncements — can't wait 'til this party goes extinct.

Vera Eyzendooren, the president of the San Bernardino County Federation of Republican Women — an official party group wrote on Facebook slamming Dhillon. “So she will defend a Muslim beheading two men without any hesitation……she is not a Republican.”...

With a name like "Eyzendooren" she better watch her own back in the repug party.
