Recruiter who sent racist e-mail is ‘re-assigned.’
After learning that Jersey City resident Corey Andrew was gay, U.S. Army recruiter Sgt. Marcia Ramode responded in an e-mail, “GO BACK TO AFRICA AND DO YOUR GAY VOODOO LIMBO TANGO AND WANGO DANCE AND JUMP AROUND AND PRANCE AND RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE HALF NAKED THERE.” The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network reports that Ramode has now “been suspended from recruiting duties,” and “has been reassigned from Army Recruiting Command to a duty position elsewhere in the Army.” Pam’s House Blend notes that it seems to be a “slap on the wrist.”

May 10th, 2007 at 4:50 pmYeah, bigoted racist right wing noecon a$$holes would think that’s funny.
Not very funny when you need troops, dumb fu*k.
May 10th, 2007 at 4:57 pmAs long as she’s not recruiting anymore, it’s all good.
May 10th, 2007 at 4:58 pmJust send the recruiter to the front lines in Baghdad, Iraq.
May 10th, 2007 at 5:03 pmRamode belongs in Iraq on the frontlines (along with the current corrupt president’s twin daughters) defending “to the death” Corey Andrew’s God-given inalienable right to be here in the U.S., African-American, gay, and free from racist homophobes like Ramode!

You are exactly right! I thought we were fighting for our very existance, our very way of life. Why does the Army hate America?
May 10th, 2007 at 5:13 pmI would hope her reassignment was to a forward base in some very arid part of the world.
May 10th, 2007 at 5:21 pmPerhaps a city that starts with a B and ends with a word that means father.
Send her on a recruiting assignment to the Niger Delta.
May 10th, 2007 at 5:25 pmthis racist will let his troops down and puts their life in more danger
May 10th, 2007 at 5:29 pmSo sodomy is a race now…(rolling eyes)

Just so you know, it is a “her” not a “him”
and she is Native American.
Now go kiss the Queen or something.
May 10th, 2007 at 5:39 pmShe says she’s Native American. Lots of people claim to be who are not (”my great-great-great grandmother was Cherokee”). She may very well be, but just saying doesn’t make it so.
May 10th, 2007 at 6:34 pmI’m sorry, but that is funny, in a “what the hell were they thinking kind of way.”
Not only was it incredibly stupid to make an antigay statement in the first place, but looking at the statement itself, it must have taken a very special kind of stupid to come up with it.
May 10th, 2007 at 7:15 pmHopefully reassigned to disarming unexploded munitions in Iraq.
May 10th, 2007 at 7:26 pmCAN HE DO THE NON-GAY VERSION OF THE VOODOO LIMBO TANGO AND WANGO DANCE IN THE ARMY?
May 10th, 2007 at 8:06 pmDon’t they have some toilets she could clean or something?
May 10th, 2007 at 8:30 pmReassignment. How clever of the military to steal a page from the Catholics!
May 10th, 2007 at 9:28 pmPromoting hatred and prejudice for political gain is the legacy of this Administration. How long it lasts after Bush leaves (or is booted out) will be to our credit or our shame. The Army is broken and too full of Christian zealots.
