Linda Sorenson Facebook Posts Shows Muslim Bigotry

  • 5 Comments

(If you are going to make ridiculous racist statements…would it kill you to double-check your grammar first? — Promoted by Colorado Pols)

Delta County Republican Chair Linda Sorenson is under fire for sharing a Facebook post comparing Obama to a Chimp, as well as other posts in the same racist vein, including one in support of the Confederate flag.

She issued an apology for her insensitivity today, and the Colorado Republican Party Chair has promised sensitivity training for GOP leaders.

The Facebook posts below, obtained by a source and apparently shared by Sorenson over the past year or so, show varying degrees of bigotry toward Muslims.

Sorenson is not returning my calls, so I could not verify with absolute certainty that these posts were shared by her, nor could I get a comment from her.

  1. "I confess to ‘liking’ a tired old Facebook meme, and I apologize for my bad judgment."

    Linda, your entire political philosophy (such as it is) can apparently be summed up in tired old Facebook memes.

    "When confronted on the spot by a liberal blogger, I was busy and didn’t realize the game that was being played—the ‘gotcha’ game."

    Gotcha… YOU'RE A RACIST, lady!

    1. As others have pointed out, this really won't matter in Delta County.  Hell, they may want her to run for County Commissioner now. 

  2. "varying degrees of bigotry towards Muslims………."   Yeah, that bigotry has existed in Europe for centuries. But, Christians played the biggest role in allowing Muslims into Europe by removing the barrier against entry that had existed for nearly 800 years.

    Recall that in 2004, on the 800th anniversary of the sack of Constantinople by the 4th Crusade, Pope John Paul II formally apologized to the patriarchs of the Eastern Orthodox Church for that crime against humanity. Maybe Ms. Sorenson needs to study herself some history (sic). 

  3. My favorite is the first one where Muslims and Liberals dont take responsibility. Apparently she hasnt seen Dumpster Donalds non-apology for his racists remarks about the judge.

    The old, I am sorry if folks were offended by my racists remarks….sheesh

  4. I'm surprised that there are enough veterans of the civil war still alive in Tulsa to raise a stink about not being able to wave their symbols of racism in a parade.  Must be the climate or something.
