Vermont Republican Official Posts Racist Attack Vs. Obama

A Republican official posted online a racist attack on President Obama written by a third party.

Rob Towle, the Rutland County committee chairman in Vermont, posted a note on Facebook describing a “2012 Social Security Stimulus Package.”

According to the Associated Press, the post referred to “cornbread mix, discount coupons to Kentucky Fried Chicken and a prayer rug.” It also noted that the package would include “an ‘Obama Hope & Change’ bumper sticker, and a ‘Blame it on Bush’ poster for the front yard. The directions were in Spanish.”

Towle originally defended the post, then issued what he claimed was an apology.
