I suspect that the homosexual activists would tell you that they were just joking around, too. I would bet that they find that stuff pretty funny, even if conservatives do not.
I admit they were foolish to put the pictures on the web, but this was still all intended as humor. I don't think it's reasonable to attempt to censor humor, no matter how broad, vulger, or even mean-spiritied.
When you are a spokesman for an oranization and get involved in broad, vulger, or mean-spirited humor, that organization has to decide if that's the sort of humor it wants to be associated with. I agree that they should not be expelled but I'd like to see them dropped from the Republican club.
I think homos have a right to parade around dressed up as nuns, or whatever. It's disgusting, but they have the right to do it. I just don't want to be told that I have to pay for it, I have to like it, I can't criticize it. I also think these folks had the right to do what they did. Now they are getting critized for it, which they might have expected. But in terms of throwing them out of school, or shutting down their organization, that is an unacceptable level of response that borders on, if it does not constitute, censorship.
I think the bigger problem is that they are calling themselves a Republican organization and that associates them with the Republican Party. I don't think they should be expelled but I do think that the college can ask them to remove offensive material if it was posted on a college web server and I do think the Republicans should stop these clowns from using that name. When you are the spokesperson of an organization, your character reflects on that organization whether you are an actor promoting a movie, a CEO backing a political cause, a President having an affair, or some idiot in clown calling yourself a Republican.
