College Republican leader had to quit over racist writings on his Facebook page (which he didn't think was racist at all)

They teach them how to hate young in the GOP:

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."
Classy. The young GOP leader thinks his little screed was just fine.

So, the College Republican had to quit, but the state party leaders in Tennessee and North Carolina still have their jobs. Apparently, one has to be more powerful in the GOP to be blatantly racist and get away with it.

(Hat tip, Alvin.
