Audra Shay is a Republican activist in Louisiana.A week ago a friend Eric wrote on her Facebook wall:
“It’s the government making us commies… can’t even smoke in my damn car… whats next they going to issue toilet paper once a month… tell us how to wipe our asses…”Two minutes later he added this:
“Obama Bin Lauden [sic] is the new terrorist… Muslim is on there side [sic]… need to take this country back from all of these mad coons… and illegals.”Ms. Shay responded, "You tell em Eric!"
Two fellow Republicans pointed out that this is a racial slur and Ms. Shay's response was to delete them as friends.
Yesterday the 38 year old was elected the new president of the Young Republicans. Even Megan McCain begged the Young Republicans to elect someone else.
Update: The story of the election is pretty good. The forces of evil used intimidation and scare tactics worthy of the greats of their party. Rove and the late Lee Atwater can be proud. My favorite part: The Shay group denied a secret ballot. The same thing they insist on for unions.
One delegate said this vote set the party back 30 years. Nah, they've been on this road for years.
Update II: Ooops. I meant to include the link to the election news story.
Very sad and disgusting.
