GOP Colorado House candidate: "The heat has really been turned up by the Blacks in this country"

Crazy stuff from Colorado Pols, reposted with permission:

http://coloradopols.com/diary/56267/gop-hd-35-candidate-gets-all-racial-about-mandela-obama



According to the Adams County GOP's website, Republicans have found a candidate to run for House District 35, an open seat being vacated by term-limited Democratic Rep. Cherylin Peniston. We don't know much about HD-35 candidate Maria Weese, but what we do know comes from her Facebook page. It's clear Weese has attended lots of conservative public events recently like the Western Conservative Summit, which is a standard prelude to a run for office. And she likes puppies.

Last December, as most of the world mourned the passing of former South African President Nelson Mandela, Maria Weese had some interesting thoughts to share on Facebook. And by "interesting," given that we're talking about a Colorado Republican legislative candidate and President Barack Obama, we of course mean racially charged and offensive:

Mandela was a Communist and and Obama is too….
Mandela won an election based on his race Obama won an election based on his race… [Pols emphasis]
Mandela was made famous world wide be media for his Marxist ideology, Obama was made famous world wide for the media hiding his Marxist ideology…
Mandela endured prison Obama endured Michelle….

Looking further back on Maria Weese's Facebook page, we found this post from July 2012. We feel as though we can rest our case now.

The racial hypocrisy in this country has gotten much worse since Obama was elected President and the heat has really been turned up by the Blacks in this country. [Pols emphasis] Every excuse is being made to create the impression that the Whites in America are still persecuting and suppressing the Blacks in America. Every opportunity to find any slight reason to expose racial discrimination from the Black perspective is being jumped on by Sharpton and Jackson, and of course, our President. It must be an election year and you can see the wagons circling around Obama led by the Blacks, the far left liberalists, the unions, environmental activists, the members of the American communist party, the minorities getting government checks in the mail, the fat cats in the entertainment industry, and the rest of the uninformed and naive liberals in this country…

At least she capitalizes "Black?" This is about as bad as it gets, folks...

She will probably win.

Her world view and 'truth as she sees it' is shared by someone - perhaps MANY someones out there - which is why she feels completely comfortable expressing it.

But I have no faith in us anymore - we aren't post racial.

And this serves to show - these people exist, have a platform, and they are 'mainstream'. They are your neighbor, the person in line behind you at the grocery store, the woman at the post office . . .

So it might be a bit much to say the Republican will probably win.

Does she realize that there's a banner in Spanish behind her (in the photo)?

I'd think (based on her other comments) that she'd be an "English Only" type.

Seems as if she will say anything to get elected, word to the wise if it didn’t work she would not do it.

AM I reading that right? Is she whining about people exposing racial discrimination? Sounds like some of the short lived trolls that get shit canned after 3 or 4 posts!
