Racist, homophobic messages left for Senator over Palin fees

State Sen. Leland Yee says he's received some nasty, racist and homophobic messages since beginning his campaign to reveal former Gov. Sarah Palin's speaking fees at a California public university.
Yee, a Democrat from San Francisco, has been demanding documents from CSU Stanislaus and the Stanislaus Foundation over Palin's scheduled speech at the university in June. Documents may have been shredded last week in an effort to hide fees paid to her, which Yee thinks could exceed $100,000.
According to Yee's office, one fax to his office read:
To: JoBama Rectum Sniffer Fish Head Leland Yee” and then in all capital letters, “WERE YOU TO EXTRACT YOUR HEAD FROM TREASONOUS MARXIST NIG**R HUSSEIN OBAMA’S RECTUM, YOUR BRAIN WOULD STILL FUNCTION AT ITS PRESENT MUCH DIMINISHED LEVEL BUT AT LEAST THE NIG**R SH*T SMELL WOULD EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE.
OK then. According to Yee, the fax included a graphic of an American flag adorned pickup truck dragging a noose, and also states: “FIGHTING The Marxist Nig**r Thug Hussein Obama” and “Safeguard the Constitution, Death of all Domestic Marxists!” Another fax reads:
NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON: lyeesucksobamasnig**ras*.com,” as well as “JoBama. HE IS BRAVE ENOUGH TO KILL OUR UNBORN, JUST NOT BRAVE ENOUGH TO CALL OUR ENEMIES WHAT THEY ARE: Muslim Terrorists!”
The fax also includes a rifle scope targeting a shirt with the communist hammer and sickle symbol, Yee's office
