Another racist college Republican bites the dust
I guess they just can't help themselves. Kudos to the organization for doing the right thing and forcing this clown to resign.
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."
No worries Adam...you can always write for RedState.
Required @ 1:
Or Stormfront.
I think a radio show is in his future.
the republican party aka the grand old party is now (officially) the klan.
!
Kudos indeed to the organization for doing the right thing
Marc @ 3:
Or a show on Fox News.
I wrote a piece today exposing how...
Fox News Used McCain Front Group To Blast Obama
They really have no shame, scruples, ethics, integrity, etc....
Well, it least he understands that we're all in trouble. There are even still Wingnutz who are claiming the economy is doing great.
someguy @ 5:
what...you dont think until he posted this stuff on facebook, he didnt voice these views in public?
how did a fuckin idiot like this even get into a university
hey clueless fucks...when you create a facebook page...its on the internet for everyone to see
forget the fact that the repugs are all racist pricks...they are all full retards
No, racist scumbag, YOU are the one in trouble.
I know what the problem is:
If you don't get laid in college, you become a college republican.
The right thing? Are you kidding me? I'm supporting Obama as much as anyone, but MUST the left become the stereotype that the right makes it? Because of a ludicrous, stupid statement (made personally), we must remove him so that ideological purity can be preserved? This is the most self-righteous crap I've read in a long time.
Uncle Joe, I disagree wholeheartedly with that comment. I have good friends who are Republican, but that doesn't make them inherently racist.
I think it's somewhat telling of our society though that John McCain and the Republicans are turning their campaign into a "culture" war, and a "who do you relate to more" platform. I think Barack Obama would be best served by going on television and saying, "A few years ago, Americans didn't vote on the issues. They voted on, 'who they could have a beer with'. Now, 8 years later and some 100,000 dead people later, here we are, doing the same thing all over again".

....or Rush Slimeball!
Bites the dust? Please....he'll probably be White House chief of staff in no time.
joe cantwell @ 4:
When did they stop being the Klan in order to start again?
how did a fuckin idiot like this even get into a university.
He a "white" boy? In Pa, that's about 75% of it...
There are two kinds of Republicans. The wealthy. The stupid. Hate and fear of "different" fall into the "stupid" category. These are the ones who can be persuaded to vote against their own interests.
idiot.
Uncle Joe Mccarthy @ 8:

No-one said you needed ethics to get into university or college. All you need is a little money, a strong family and good studying.
Marc @ 3:
Yes, he is now a victim of his own actions and should be rewarded just like G Gordon Liddy and Ollie North.
Nothing like fools suffering quite destitution.
I wonder what that squirrel looks like. Generally, I found that people that are not particularly attractive or intelligent make remarks derogatory of someones appearance. But a bigot can always be spotted. One of these days he will make those remarks to the wrong person and he will be picking up his lips off the ground.
Ooooh Looky

WASHINGTON - Government officials handling billions of dollars in oil royalties partied, had sex with and accepted golf and ski outings from employees of energy companies they were dealing with, federal investigators said Wednesday.

The GOP has been a refuge for bigots since 1964. They can drape it with a flag, pour holy water all over it but the GOP is the home for bigots and idiots.
Why are there such creatures as "College Republicans" during wartime?
Oughtn't they be "Battle Trench Republicans" until the war is over?
Good riddance!
"It was just a dumb move on my part to make a statement like that public."
But it's OK if private?? He's sorry he got caught.
He's not only a racist, he apparently needs glasses.
Adam LaDuca represents how ALL republicans think. Every once in awhile, one of them lets his true opinions slip out and we are all reminded again who these people really are- white, rich, and chosen by God.

Sorry for the double and off topic.
Carry on!

At least we have 100,000 less people to vote repulicon.
Sorry they gave their lives for a lie.
Wake up people.
George Lincoln Rockwell would be glad to have him join his old party.
Red-faced, red-eyes, spit spewing bigots make great stormtroopers.
Only problem is, in Germany, circa 1939, the stormtroopers had to discard their uniforms and put on fieldgray, then off to the front to fight. America's chickenhawks would never fight.
He'd better get a job with Fux soon. I don't think the Klan is known for their willingness to pick up members' debt...
Perhaps instead of calling them the Klan, we can lump all their disparate gripes and whines into the "POP" - Party Of Paranoia.

What does it actually take to get into a US college?
Canuknotusa @ 36:
Not much these days.
I don't know if I'd call it 'racist' so much as I would culturally ignorant, unaware and insensitive. I personally think that people throw around the 'racist' term too much to the point where it almost loses it's meaning.
Mark @ News Corpse @ 6:
Is it any wonder they are using every unscrupulous tactic in their book to derail Obama ticket? They damn well know what awaits them when Obama will reshape the FCC with a modicum of common sense.
Just think. Adam is a mere 21 year old kid. In a couple of decades HE will be the minority. Wonder how he will feel then? Will he being overly racist then?
Francois @ 39:
If he had any common sense he'd just get rid of that corrupt and obsolete witch hunting organization on day one.
Good riddance to the douchebag.
The school I work at has a clique of College Republicans - I think next week is "Red week" or something like that around here - basically they're hosting a mainline hate speaker - Michael Adams (this douche - not the chess player) all while trying to suck in first semester freshmen.
I'm encouraging my classes to attend - after I inform them of his writings and wondering aloud why any group would host such a person...
College Republicans are real jerks
Canuknotusa @ 36:
Money. Same as always.

Somehow, I imagine his future involves meth, jail/prison time, and responding to the name "Honk*y B*tch" with his asscheeks open. Just guessing...
republican racisum and stupidity knows no bounds!
And yet when Obama "steals" a McBush line and says you can put lipstick on a pig, the repubics are all over that and demand an apology.
Christian @ 38:
Oh please, enlighten us on how his post wasn't racist.
Lots of people think that by throwing the epitaph "ignorant" that they can get away with diffusing the blame of the culprit (the original son-of-a-bitch who wrote all those RACIST words), and place the blame on the people he managed to inform (see he is "ignorant" so he doesn't know better, however... you know better and misused the term "racist" so it is really your fault).
I don't know if that was your intention, but please I would ask you to stop that. So "ignorant" my ass... Ignorance and racism are orthogonal, so please stop using it as an excuse.
Didn't they tell me King was a Repub?
College Republicans are a bunch of stupid Mo-Fo's man... they huddle together at this campus like a bunch of cringing roaches. I truly am amazed that party even exists... but it does, and as an American, I feel humiliated by the fact that there are people who follow them... it is nuts.
Good on them to dump this racist Hitler Jugend wannabe. Good riddance to this scumbag.
Scrumptious, not large. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Angelina Jolie - there's a looker. Either one of them can float me to Cuba any time, except hurricane season. It's about time America has a truly beautiful man in the office.
GOP@50, These SOBs are the first to defend the Iraq War, and yet they won't serve. Hypocritical, No?

bmw 528 @ 51:
e wasn't dumped cuz they disagreed with him. It was cuz he got caught. College Republicans: Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, Karl Rove. They have no shame, or any other redeeming social virtue that I can see.
Every time I see something like this, it only serves to twist the knife a bit farther...
... to think that 30 YEARS AGO I was naive enough to believe that the civil rights battle and the fight against racism had been fought and won, and it was possible to be Republican and "fiscally conservative" while simultaneously holding "socially liberal" views of things like equality under the law.
I shudder at the notion that I could have been so thoroughly fooled that I would fight my way into my state Republican convention as a delegate at the ripe old age of eighteen, and be proud of the association.
Excuse me, I need to go vomit now.
The message is clear: If you're a college Republican you can pull any dirty trick you want, as long as you're not caught. The results justify the means. Rove and Atwater are the role models. If you get caught, and embarrass the party, you'll be thrown under the bus. Tought tooties.
However, if you can pull dirty tricks long enough without being too obvious about it, you'll eventually work your way to the top. Then you can do anything you want, up to and including treason and sedition, and you'll NEVER be fired. Again, Rove is the role model.
Why are some jack-asses assanine myspace-comments floated to the top of the 'newsworthy column'?? Could it be there are more important things that shall forever remain undiscussed?

This kid is a walking advertisement for a military draft.
You just watch, this guy will become a martyr, a victim of political correctness.
If he plays his cards right, he'll use his firing to get a journalism gig or a job at a conservative 'think tank'.
Tyler Durden @ 48:
Now, now Tyler. Don't you know it is always the fault of the blamee and not the culprit. I've been black for 31 years and I have learned that nothing is really racist, I just can't take a joke or I am overly-sensitive.
I said it would get worse as the election approaches but even I wasn't clear on the "how". Now I am. What they're doing (and going to continue to do) is throw down these clearly racist epithets (uppity, big-lipped, whatever) and then cry "WHAT!? It's just an expression/statement of fact! I'm being persecuted for no reason!" victim defense bullshit. I'm now waiting for Obama to toss a football in a photo-op and someone on the right call him a "chucker"...
Annoyed Canuck @ 61:
Conservative "think tank"---now there's an oxymoron for a party of lemming like authoritarians. I thought the saying "Vote Republican---it's easier than thinking" was actually close to the truth since they seem to prize conformity and obedience above all.
chris h. @ 12:
i have good friends who are republicans...and most (except for the gay republicans who just like low taxes) are fucking racists, and have no problems expressing the fact that they wont vote for obama cuz he is black
so there
now you may ask...why would i hang out with fucking racists? cuz im never gonna run for president, and outside of the fact that they are full retards, they are ok people
Marc @ 3:
I'm thinking McCain campaign speechwriter. His elegant prose is consistent with their message and style.
Tyler Durden @ 48:
Thank you for saying that. It should be repeated every time a discussion of race is brought up.
I get sick of folks trying to write off purely blatant racism (i.e. the issue of the "noose" and its resurgence in America--especially on a Black professor's door) as "ignorance".
The only thing ignorant about it is that these bigots assume they won't be caught by folks with a conscience.
Annoyed Canuck @ 61:
Oh, he'll be working for Charles Murray in no time at the Manhattan Institute. They like his type of "out of the box" thinking, especially about race. ;)
See, the only thing is... Barack Obama doesn't even have big lips. o.O
DHSmd @ 56, the battle was fought and won... but the war went on.
me_over_here @ 62:
When people resort to saying that something blatantly racist isn't (as well as the other bizarro logic about "not seeing race"), it's just old "colorblind racism" at work.
The funny thing is that people actually believe and continue preaching that "it isn't really there" in a self-righteous tone. And they try to convince people of color like us to believe their lying.
I bet you this kid used that same kind of logic trying to explain away his racist comments and behavior. And I also raise you in that bet that he still feels he "didn't do anything wrong".
He hasn't learned a damned thing.
As a proud Republican I am happy to say no darkies in the white house and no mesicans in the southwest. Long live America the white. Go McCain Palin in 08'
Actually Adam shouldn't be a writer anywhere. If you go my blog (I'm the one who broke the story) and read all the crap he posted at Facebook you'll see how bad a writer he is. I even commented in one of the five articles that I wondered how he got into college.
The Obama lips comment that went out on the AP wire was one of the least offensive things he said but one of the few that could be printed in newspapers. I published all of them in a series of five articles from August 25-29th.
But don't overlook that the Penn. Federation of College Republicans obviously covered for and promoted him.
Let us not allow this organization to take a pass.
Christian @ 38:
Culturally ignorant? Unaware and insensitive? Why are you attempting to downplay and deny the obvious?
1) Barack Obama doesn't have big lips. 2) One of the physical stereotype of people of African descent is that they have big lips.
Why would he make that ridiculous statement disguised as humor? Because he's a racist. Either you find truth in what he said or you have, or have had, similar thoughts about similar people.
The guy's probably just jealous.
if he thinks barack obama's lips are 'big'...what would be plastered to his face posing....as...lips?
He also made a reference to African American males' genitalia...
He thinks he should be able to use the "N" word, call coeds "sluts", gays "f****ts" and Italians "W**'s."
{Edited, Some of the words you used tripped the filter. SiteMonitor}
When this story hit the national news I posted this article with links to all 5 original articles
You can read all of LaDuca's Facebook and blog postings in them.

Mentis Fugit @ 70:
Mentis,
I actually posted a pretty thoughtful (if rambling) response to it, in which I laid bare my soul on the subject. I was surprised to come back and find it missing! Unfortunately, I don't have the time, energy, or inspiration to try to re-create it now.
But I did want to thank you for the comment, anyway, because that is how my response started off...
Gotta love the 1st Amendment.
That is the problem Obama will have to overcome this fall. There are a lot of people who will simply not vote for minority candidates, all they see is someone different and they believe anything they see or hear on radio talk shows, print media (if they can read), tv, etc. It's a shame but it's the truth.
The trouble with Republicans is that they come to believe that their behavior is normal, not realizing that outside their closed little group, it is abnormal.
Why isn't this guy in Iraq toting a rifle? College age+Republican should equal "boots on the ground."
kpaul @ 86:
B/c he's a wussy coward, that's why. He'd rather shoot off his mouth than an AK-47.
But the racist, Reslug moron forgot to mention that his dick is only 2" big and that he had a lobodomy at birth and is incapable of graduating college.
The vast majority of Reslugs are big mouth, bedwetting, chickenshit, assholes that refuse and run when they should be serving our country.
jackson @ 11:
Come on. Do I believe EVERY Republican and neocon is a racist? No. But as yourself which party has a problem with race? If there are racial issues, which party always comes out for the worst? That's right, the Republican Party. Not every Republican is racist, but there ARE a lot of racists in the Republican Party.
As for going to Iraq there's an Army recruiting station right down the street in Kutztown.

A 21 year old racist arrogant priveleged white boy in college. Heh. This here white boy would smack him across the face if he spewed that shit around here!
Political Junkie, part of what Adam wrote was a rant on why he can't use the "N" word. He very much thinks its his right.
Damn. I wish I could get an email address on one of the 32 blacks at the Republican convention of last week. He was interviewed and said we blacks don't know what we are missing out on, by not being members of the Republican party...,
he's half white so it doesn't count you palin newborns!
So what happens to this bigot now?
