WASHINGTON -- Republican Party officials in Virginia have swiftly come out against a Halloween-oriented email message from the Loudoun County GOP committee that depicts President Obama as a zombie with a bullet through his head.

As The Washington Post reports, the message was condemned by the state party and Gov. Robert McDonnell (R), who called the message "shameful and offensive." State GOP chairman Pat Mullins, according to the Post, said the party is in the process of finding those who are responsible for the image.

The Northern Virginia blog Too Conservative, which first posted the county GOP's Halloween email message on Monday, said the image of Obama crossed the line:

Like him or not he is the legitimately elected the President of the United States and Commander in Chief of our armed services in a time of war. THIS IS DISGUSTING AND SHAMEFUL. Someone should send this to the US Secret Service.
The image also includes an image of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with an eye bulging out of its socket.

What else could they do. To not condemn it would leave them vulnerable to accusations of racism. I think it's about public perception rather than ritious concern about disrespecting the pres. Now, Jim will tell you the pres don't deserve respect. And, so I'm sure he would be comfortable with the zombie Obama.

So it comes down to your perceptions? Nice bit of psychoanalyzing, if you believe in such. Bottom line, the Reps are condemning it. If Jim's a rep, why would that embarrass him? Make no sense.
