Sept. 28, 2004 | Columbia, S.C. -- A Republican Senate candidate in South Carolina has reprimanded a campaign staffer for a derogatory comment she made about lesbians in an e-mail.
Ginny Allen, director of operations for Rep. Jim DeMint's campaign, accidentally sent the e-mail to Lisa Hall, chairwoman of a local gay advocacy group, after Hall invited DeMint to attend a town hall meeting on gay issues.
Apparently thinking she was forwarding the e-mail to someone within the campaign, Allen wrote: "come on farg give this dike a reply." The word "farg" was a shorthand reference to the last name of the person Allen intended to receive the e-mail, campaign director Terry Sullivan said Tuesday.
Isn't it about time we stopped pretending that Republicans had the experience, training, intelligence, and desire to take politics seriously?
