Right Thinking From The Left Coast
"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"

Son Of Stupid

Westmoreland Syndrome seems to be contagious:

ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The leader of a statewide group of college Republicans has been forced to resign after posting racially insensitive comments about Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on the Internet.

Adam LaDuca, 21, the former executive director of the Pennsylvania Federation of College Republicans, wrote on his Facebook page in late July that Obama has “a pair of lips so large he could float half of Cuba to the shores of Miami (and probably would.)”

LaDuca, who previously had called Martin Luther King Jr. a “pariah” and a “fraud,” also wrote: “And man, if sayin’ someone has large lips is a racial slur, then we’re ALL in trouble.”

The College Republicans asked LaDuca to resign after his remarks were publicized by the Pennsylvania Progressive, a blog written by a Democratic committeeman from Berks County. The group announced LaDuca’s resignation on its Web site Friday.

This is not your father’s ignorance-but it’s pretty close. The Republican Party, both young and old, seems bent on committing public suicide this year.

Oh good grief. Your last sentence here is among the most ridiculous on this site during the whole election.

Now this is just stupid, and this guy is and even a bigger idiot if he can’t figure out why he was given the boot.

Randal: Well, I-I still don’t think porch monkey should be considered a racial term. I mean, I’ve always used it to describe lazy people, not lazy black people! I think if we really tried, we could re-claim porch monkey, and save it.

Dante: It can’t be saved, Randal! The sole purpose for its creation, the only reason it exists in the first place, is to disparage an entire race! And even if it could be saved, you can’t save it because you’re not black!

Randal: Well listen to you! Telling me I can’t do something because of the color of my skin! You’re the racist! I’m taking it back, you watch!

yeah....that last line of your post, mind-bendingly stupid.  Sorry, but I assume you have tourette’s syndrome or something similar that prevents you from thinking about everything you write?  Were you put in suspended animation to fight Dr. Evil and thus have no inner monolog?

No excuse either for the jackass in the article....

Another word spontaneously added to the no-no list. “Community Organizer” is now a code word for black. There’s going to be a lot of this you’re a racist based on words that were just fine to use, and now are deemed wrong after the fact. I wonder what small town mayor is code word for, or career politician? This fucking shit just drives me nuts. I wouldn’t let it bother me if idiots didn’t buy into it.
