The director of a West Virginia nonprofit agency who called first lady Michelle Obama "an ape in heels" in a Facebook post has been fired and the institution put under outside management, state officials said on Tuesday.

Pamela Taylor, director of the Clay County Development Corp (CCDC), which provides services to poor and elderly residents, drew international condemnation after her comment last month about Obama went viral.

She resigned in November but was reinstated last month, prompting West Virginia to review its contracts with the nonprofit.

Democratic Governor Earl Ray Tomblin's office said the state had secured an agreement under which the Appalachian Area Agency on Aging will manage the CCDC for six months.

72. The Washington Post on this story ran a picture of Michelle Obama.

It was a clearly a weasel-ass trick to avoid showing a white face below the headline.

3. Good riddance- again.

[mac56]

4. Good luck getting hired by another non-profit.

[Dustlawyer]

35. A little porcine even! Yea I went there, but only because she

is uglier on the inside.

[Midnight Writer]

58. Maybe she could be a character actor. She could play "Obnoxious Racist Woman" perfectly

[packman]

5. But-but-but

Pam's such a beauty and that gives her every white (sorry) RIGHT to call Michelle names

[madokie]

15. What a Beautiful first Lady Michelle is

from the inside all the way to the end of her hair. Wonderful person, lovely lady

[Eleanors38]

49. She is indeed. Probably the reason some hate her.

[AgadorSparticus]

75. Gorgeous!!

[Aristus]

6. Buh-bye...

While you're out looking for a new job, why don't you see if you can pick up a brain and a heart while you're at it...

[Coolest Ranger]

7. Bye Felicia

May the Force not be with you, may the Force fart in your face and may the Force write gag me on your body

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. Who the fuck is that thumb with a bad wig to even think of shitting on anybody's looks. Let

alone the whole "What, What'd I say shtick" pretending she's not a raging bigot.

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. tRump does it which is probably why this person thought she could get a way

with her nasty comment.

[OrwellwasRight]

70. I don't think it was about looks.

I think it was about race and white supremacy pure and simple.

[Tanuki]

71. You are so correct about this. Her twitter account is even more loathesome

than her Facebook.

[Plucketeer]

9. Here's hoping you can land a man

who goes ape-shit over your beauty!

[RKP5637]

10. Excellent! n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. It's a two-fer...the mayor had to resign too!

Beverly Whaling, Clay's mayor, resigned after coming under fire for replying to Taylor's comment: "Just made my day Pam."

[progressoid]

16. [phone]

[BlancheSplanchnik]

29. GOOD.

I didn't know about this part.

I wish the big wig rethugs would get what they deserve.

Right now it's just the underlings. I'm honestly curious, if either of them were guys, would they have been canned?

Anyway, glad the witty quipper finally got the clobbering she deserved, since she'd been out of bounds before. (Was it petty theft or something I read? Don't remember what specifically.)

[True_Blue]

60. She made her day alright

Her last day. Hahaha!

[progree]

12. A great one to REC off to Greatest Threads

I was horrified to read the news 2 weeks ago (or something like that) that she had gotten her job back.

What a relief to see her gone! Though probably she will become a right-wing heroine / martyr on the RW speaking circuit, yammering about "First Amendment Rights" and "political correctness run amuk". Along with that horrible Alabama ex-Supreme Court Judge Roy Moore.

[C Moon]

13. If there is one positive thing about this horrible election year...

it's that these hateful, racist bastards are coming out of hiding—for all the world to see.

[TheDebbieDee]

30. This is SO true! The closeted racists have

Exposed themselves over the last year or year-and-a-half and now we KNOW who they are...

[Gothmog]

14. Yeah

[left-of-center2012]

17. Guess Pamela Taylor's available for a Trump job n/t

[lillypaddle]

19. What an assholish

fuck face.

[ffr]

20. Dumb in picture form

[awoke_in_2003]

43. I hate to pull the looks card...

but since she went there- when you look like her, you really should shut your mouth about the appearance of others.

[Angry Dragon]

21. looks like she is going for the Trump Hair

[In_The_Wind]

22. As it should be.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

23. Good.

Since I don't have a TV, can someone tell me if her firing is being covered in a big way by network newscasts?

[classykaren]

24. Yea I love her Tammy Faye Baker lip liner look.

[Judi Lynn]

25. Who can resist loving her tongue lolling out, covering her bottom front teeth? n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

44. Are we sure...

that she has teeth under there?

[Judi Lynn]

59. Not so sure, now that you mention it. Could be only her chewing tobacco. n/t

[judesedit]

26. Michelle Obama has more class in her little finger than this bitch will have in a lifetime

[ailsagirl]

32. [phone]

[rzemanfl]

40. See #39 below. n/t

[3catwoman3]

28. What's that saying?

Karma's not a b!tch unless you are.

[rzemanfl]

39. Wait, when I called her the "B" word a while back I caught hell about it.

I now use "Pamela Taylor" instead. Son of a Pamela Taylor. Life's a Pamela Taylor and then you die, etc.

[3catwoman3]

47. Sometime back, I had a post locked by a jury vote when I used...

...that word, properly spelled, to describe Ann Coulter. I avoided using it until now, although I stand by my opinion of AC. Since that time, I have avoided using it, but have noticed many others using it without any repercussions. The standard of whether or not using this word is OK seems to be flexibly applied.

[rzemanfl]

50. Ann Coulter is definitely a Pamela Taylor. I think there are people who spend

their early mornings prowling the prior night's posts for language they object to.

[3catwoman3]

55. One of the things that first attracted me to DU...

...was the free use of colorful language. It is something that I can never do at work, and don't usually do in any public setting, so it is fun to be able to let fly here.

When there are words or thought I find objectionable here, I just shrug and move on.

[rzemanfl]

57. I took years off from here, 2010 until late 2016. DU has changed some. n/t

[ailsagirl]

31. What an idiot

I'm glad to hear it but what she said was inexcusable

[HughBeaumont]

33. Like this pigshit's some grand prize.

Nasty, stupid looking steaming pile . . . so characteristic of a foot-shooting Trumpkin.

[George II]

34. From the looks of that picture, and this is rude, she shouldn't be calling anyone else names!

[vlyons]

37. Has she looked in the mirror lately?

Not exactly the Belle of the Ball, is she? What gets me is the stupidity of the FB haters. Are they under the impression that everyone agrees with their posts and never gets offended by their hatred and racism?

[LittleGirl]

38. I'm rather tolerant of Obama haters

when they disagree with us but I had to unfriend a fellow on xmas day when he stated that Michelle Obama wouldn't be photographed with a short skirt because of her 'large behind' and I said, yep, that's grounds for unfriending for me. damn it all. A Christian no less. fuck him and the horse he rode in on.

[keithbvadu2]

41. She'll get a job with Trump advisor Carl Paladino who said MO was really a man and should go live wi

She'll get a job with Trump advisor Carl Paladino who said MO was really a man and should go live with apes.

[LenaBaby61]

42. Well what do you know, I see someone that Pamela Taylor resembles ....

And since TAYLOR wanted to go there and refer to First Lady Michelle Obama as an "ape in heels," then I feel that I can go there as well, and say that I see a strong resemblance of Taylor in THIS picture I posted below:








I guess in HER small and racist mind that as long as her skin is pink, er WHITE, it's "okay" for her to insult the FLOTUS

[awoke_in_2003]

45. Perfect picture...

and, like you said, she went there.

[BigDemVoter]

46. Ya know. . . I don't want to "fat shame" or "ugly shame" or "stupid shame". . .

But this fool is fat, UGLY and STUPID. As I already stated in the subject line, I would NEVER write anything like this, but this idiot started it by calling our classy and brilliant First Lady an "ape in high heels."

What the FUCK is wrong with her? Cover her up and call her a pig in a blanket. . . I am STEAMING mad right now. SHE wants to point fingers?? Well I have TEN of them to point right back at her porcine SNOUT.

[Eleanors38]

48. "Facebook?" More like "Buttbook," and she just huffed it.

[guillaumeb]

51. She would look better in her customary white hood and robe. eom

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

52. Out with the rubbish

nt

[underthematrix]

53. When you don't know the difference between hair color and skin color

Apes have thin lips, flat asses and whitish pink skin.

[cornball 24]

54. Just a pasty faced insignificant ignoramus!

[tavernier]

56. Hope she likes being a celebrity now,

like the lady she hates for her beauty, grace, intelligence and success.

Unlike that lady, she will not be admired and cheered by millions, but rather scorned and laughed at and jeered by billions.

Welcome to fame, miss piggy.

[sheshe2]

63. +_1000

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

61. But she was only joking

Right! You wouldn't find such a lame assed joke funny if you weren't a racist.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

62. Good!!! What a despicable, ignorant, hateful creature she is.

[Cha]

64. Great news! she was too stupid to work there, anyway.

[Tanuki]

68. She was never qualified for her $84K a year position in the first place.

She never went to college (not being an elitist here; the job description requires a degree) and was working as a cosmetologist when she started at the agency. I think it would be a very interesting story to know who hired her in the first place, and why!

[JI7]

65. is she married to Carl PAladino ?

[tom_kelly]

66. Those damn consequences!!! n/t

[radical noodle]

67. Another poor white person

discriminated against for not being PC. No wonder Trump won!

[zonkers]

69. I am no expert but it looks to me like she has some African ancestry. Which makes sense because

people are often self hating.

[roamer65]

73. She looks like the woman teacher from "Porky's"

I'm sorry, but she does.

[AgadorSparticus]

74. This piece of shit needs to go back under her white hood.

We have seen enough of her disgusting, vile face.

[Alice11111]

76. I'll grant her freedom of speech, but I hope

She roasts in hell. A truly evil person!!!
