I always knew that Joe Ricketts was one of those nutball Republicans (like his son Todd) because he hasn't made any secret of it. But, until this week, I had no idea he was more than that. He's one of those Republican nutjobs who believes and forwards those crazy racist e-mails.
CNN has the details.
