Do you remember Dean Grose? Shortly after Barack Obama won the presidential election, Grose, who at the time was the Mayor of Los Alamitos, sent out a cartoon, via email, that depicted the White House with a garden of watermelons instead of roses.
Grose accidentally copied an African American supporter of Obama. She was so angry that she went to the media.
Grose ended up resigning from the Los Alamitos City Council. But activists found out where his office was and they pelted the building with watermelons.
On Tuesday, Grose returned to power, coming in fifth, in the OC GOP 67th Assembly District, ahead of Matt Harper, who works for Supervisor Janet Nguyen.
Grose beat out four incumbents!
What does this say about the Republican voters in the 67th Asembly District?
About Zorro
Yes, Zorro is gay. Zorro is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a Jew in Germany, a Gypsy in Poland, a Mohawk in Quebec, a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the Metro at 10pm, a peasant without land, a gang member in Santa Ana, an unemployed worker, an unhappy student and, of course, a good government advocate in Anaheim.
Zorro is all the exploited, marginalized, oppressed minorities resisting and saying `Enough'. He or she is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. He or she is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. Everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable -- this is Zorro.
“What does this say about the Republican voters in the 67th Asembly District?”
Perhaps it says that they, unlike some bloggers, have a sense of humor? Maybe it says that.
Yeah racism is hilarious!
I guess it’s more fashionable these days to have a sense of humor rather than a clue.
Yeah, come back Dean, all is forgiven. That was funny anyway! Watermelons – get it – because Obama is a black guy! That shit was hilarious. Cuz you know how black guys love watermelons.
Maybe Dean can gradually be rehabilitated to real leadership in the OCGOP. Which one is he anyway, the young prick in the middle or the old prick on the right?
