Shery Lanford Smith
*The Chair of the Sumter South Carolina Tea Party posted — and then quickly pulled — a post on her Facebook page earlier this month that joked about throwing the Obamas out of a helicopter, reports TalkingPointsMemo.com.
Shery Lanford Smith posted the joke on her Facebook page on August 11th. The page has since gone “private.”
In the joke, the Obamas are on a helicopter talking about how they could make people happy if they threw money out the window. The pilot says: “I could throw both of them out of the window and make 256 million people very happy!” Smith added: “If you’re one of 256 million, PASS IT ON.”
Smith reportedly pulled the joke after the Sumter Item contacted her about it. But here’s an earlier screenshot, via the Item:
“It’s just a joke,” she told the Item. “I had no idea it would be an issue.”
The Sumter SC Tea Party’s page is now also defunct
Just don’t back track and apologize if you “may” have offended me. Just own it.

People just kill me when they make offensive and derogatory comments that gets out ot the public and they state ” I did not know it would be an issue or ” I did not mean it that way. I was only joking” DUH!!! Joke my azz ehn you put something on facebook, twitter etc there is a 99.99% chance a lot of people will see it. This haggard looking dimwit knew what she was doing and she meant it, you cannot joke about something like thsi with all of hte wackos out there just goes to show that the teapartyers and most repubs are mean nasty a-holes who despise Pres Obama and his family.
How about we just throw her fat azz out…and I am NOT joking!! I’m so sick of the Tea Bagger Mofos!!
I know one damn thing I am really getting tired of the the disrespect for President Obama and his family and I don’t care which side of fence you are on. The tea party and the rest of this country need to at least respet the Office of the President.
Cosign 100%
Quick question..obvious answer,
Had the same joke been made about Bush or Cheney, would we still feel slighted?
One of the challenges w/this administration is that in their effort to be inclusive, compromising, focused on the bigger things and the like, they often invite disrespect. Some shyt you just got nip at the bud and not just say “we have bigger things to focus on.”
I agree Musb…this was the same exact joke that was said about Bush. I totally dislike the Tea Party but I guess I don’t see this as a big fish to fry.
So…..it’s like “that”, huh! MuthaFK the Tea Party! I hope someone “pisses IN” their…”tea”!! And again….our resident weak/coward as-s, mole butcher-s Toms?, ain’t got SHYt to say, “against” this shyt, huh!? Umm…..”muthaFK them TOO!!! All Day!
Oh!, yo bytch/coward as-s snuck up in hurr, & gave me, “dat”, huh!? Well, I’m glad! Glad to see how much I effect yo bytch as-s with my posts! Errytiiiime you “do dat”?, it makes my Black as-s….smiiiiile! “Bling”! So…thank you, PLEASE come again!! Winning, winning! Beeeeaaaaaaatch!
Hell, she said what was on her mind…I don’t see a problem with that…I’ma say what’s on mine. At the moment, people in this country can pretty much say what they want but there’s always a risk involved. I agree with Musbdherbs. As far as respecting the office of president, that’s an even bigger joke. I mean, why should we respect the office? The office doesn’t give a f*ck about us (not just Blacks but the masses in general) but politics is about BIG business and global economics and uhm, just in case some of you haven’t gotten the memo (a lot of us haven’t) – they don’t even want you on the planet, literally.
SEE WHY WE SHOULD REMIND ALL OUR PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN EQUALITY TO VOTE>>>>VOTE PEOPLE VOTE PLEASE!!!!
Riiiiight, riiiiiiight! >
I hope Hurricane Irene washes this bitch, and her whole fckin county out to sea.
