Colorado Councilwoman Resigns After Refusing to Remove Offensive Joke From Web Site

A city councilwoman in Dacono, Colo., has resigned from her post after the mayor of the town said a joke she posted to a community Web log was racist and asked her to remove it from the Web site.
The page-long joke, posted by councilwoman Sandra Tucker, described the tale of a white male who has a "nightmare" in which he wakes up to discover that he has "been turned" black, gay, Jewish and disabled. The joke uses terms such as "negro," "queer" and "fairy," and also pokes fun at orphans, Mexicans, Jews, HIV-positive patients, drug addicts and those with physical disabilities. The punch line of the joke comes when the person having the nightmare also finds out he is a Democrat, a "fate worse" than all the rest.

Dacono Mayor Wade Carlson said the joke was offensive and asked Tucker to remove it from Tri-town.com , a message board serving the community. Tucker refused, and instead resigned in protest. The forum moderator removed the post at the mayor's request.

The only problem I see here is that some people don't have a sense of humor. I thought the joke was hilarious, a real knee-slapper! I would suggest we should put it on a bumper sticker if it wasn't so long.

Whoever came up with that one was a comic genius!

If she had made the same joke about white, heterosexual Christians, would she have been promoted to mayor or just given a pay raise?

You've got that right. It reminds me of one I heard Bill Donohue tell a few years back:

The new Pope calls his mother right after he is elevated to the papacy by the College of Cardinals.
Pope: Ma, I have some good news and some bad news.
Mother: What's the good news?
Pope: I've just been elected Pope.
Mother: What's the bad news, then?
Pope: They're making me move into an Italian neighborhood.

And remember when (possibly) Godly Politician Earl Butz caught all the flak in the 70's for speaking The Truth™ about what the neegroe wants: Good Sex, a good-fitting pair of shoes, and a warm place to take a....umm......poop.

Well, we all know that anyway! So did he maybe get in trouble for being redundant?

Re: Council member fired over inappropriate joke:

Not only was that "joke" not offensive, I didn't even find it funny. That joke took so long to make a point that I could've reached it faster riding a turtle.

Why would you want to ride a turtle? Couldn't find your broom?

I have to say, I did find that joke to be a bit edgy. Some things are just too horrible to even joke about, and I'm starting to think the Democratic party is one of them. Also, "Councilwoman"? There's something wrong there.

Why would you want to ride a turtle? Couldn't find your broom?

I think he wants to ride a turtle in, um, a different sense. There's something wrong with those liberals.

How else does one ride a turtle other than taking a seat on its shell and holding on, Brother? Am I to infer that your different sense is something sinister and despicable?
