Montana Judge Admits Sending Racist E-Mail About ObamaMontanas chief federal judge Wednesday admitted forwarding an email to friends about President Obama that appears to equate African Americans with dogs and raises questions about the presidents mixed racial ancestry.Normally I dont send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine, Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull wrote before forwarding the email, a copy of which was obtained by the Los Angeles Times.The email was sent from the judges court email account and immediately ignited a firestorm in Montana, where there were calls on social media sites for his resignation.Cebull, who has been Montanas chief federal judge in Billings since 2008, was appointed to the bench by former President George W. Bush and took his seat in 2001.The Great Falls Tribune, which initially obtained the email and interviewed Cebull about it, said the judge conceded the content was racist but insisted he had forwarded it to six old buddies and acquaintances because he doesnt like Obama. He said he doesnt consider himself a racist.It was not intended by me in any way to become public, Cebull told the Tribune. I apologize to anybody who is offended by it, and I can obviously understand why people would be offended.In the email, a boy asks his mother why he is black and she is white. His mother replied, 'Dont even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, youre lucky you dont bark!' "http://articles.lati...-obama-20120229This racist POS should resign immediately.Aside from being a racist, he's too stupid to be a judge:The Tribune said it received the email after it had been forwarded several times in a chain that began at its original recipients. Cebull said he was surprised it had been passed along with his name attached to it, the newspaper said.
