Disgraced Republican city councilman Gary Frago
“Atwater City Councilman Gary Frago has been rung up in the local papers for sending racially tainted jokes concerning President Obama to fellow councilmembers and other prominent city and community officials,” according to the California City News blog.
Remember that this happened to the former Mayor of Los Alamitos a few months ago. That Republican ended up stepping down from his council seat. Frago however seemed unapologetic just a few days ago:
“My question is what’s wrong with them?” Frago said of the jokes, adding “I’m not the only one that does it.”
However today’s news brought an apology from Frago:
“I made a mistake,” he said of the e-mails, circulated from October 2008 to February 2009. “It was a mistake I shouldn’t have made and I apologize for it. I wasn’t being racist, I was just passing on e-mails,” according to the Merced Sun-Star.
It might be too late. Other city officials in Atwater are now stearing clear of Frago – and many residents are calling on him to resign. He is done politically.
Will the California Republicans ever learn?
When I was little boy my mother read bed time story to me. There was a story, I forgot the title, about a king and kingdom where the people were not allowed to smile.
This is what the socialism does to the people. No more Polish, Irish or blonde jokes. It is hateful now.
It all started with homosexuals, HOA and feminism.
Enjoy.
your right Fiala, but soon this horrible politcal correctness will loss steam, and you will beable to call me a potato head and i can call you a beaner.
political correctness has killed the sense of humor, that makes us all unique!
oh i guess my post did not make it on here . must havbe been too much to handle with no cuss words .

Yeah, you can call each other those names…but that doesn’t mean you should. I don’t call it political correctness…I call it civility.

I call it a stick up one’s ass!
But then again, it could be a great way for the left wack job’s to able to distroy people, based on civility.
wow you pro-illegal, pro-everything except pro-common sense are sneeky:)
Michelle…you have no idea what is going on or what this person is saying behind the scenes…now please leave it alone and stay on topic everyone…thanks …calling the owner of this blog an f ing a hole 20 times a day is harassment. He has made his point that he doesn’t like art now enough with sending 20 or more messages a day that art is a f ing a hole….what is the point of doing that? It is pointless and silly. We cannot approve 20 messages of the same things over and over Michelle.
Unfortunately its political correctness gone wrong. Watermelon and fried chicken jokes are taboo, but attack the president on his policies that is the best thing to do.
“I call it a stick up one’s ass!”
Right. We would expect no less from you.
