College Republican leaders ousted over bake sale

Grand Rapids Press ^ | 4/7/05

[wideawake]

Looks like he got sold out by candyasses.

[Enterprise]

Looks like it.

[Txsleuth]

Westcott sounds like a future Orrin Hatch!

[TChris]

Silly kids, don't they know that racism is only permitted to be used by the college and its liberal leadership, not at the college, by its students.

[TheDon]

"I've been called a bigot and racist," Rausch said. "There's nothing racist about saying affirmative action should be based on economic means and not race."

It's ironic that the guy trying to point out racism is being called a racist.

[Bogey78O]

Sounds like Ottawa County has some idiotic and stupid republicans.

The bake sale was a perfectly fine event.

I demand an apology from those Republicans for offending me.

[Namyak]

Apparently now everyone has the "right" to not be offended on a college campus... unless of course you happen to a white, Christian Republican... then the only right you have is to sit down and shut up.

[flashbunny]

yep.

And those candyasses are likely future leaders of the republican party.

It's not called the stupid party for nothing!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

"Leidig said he advised the students to consider a leadership change to acknowledge they respect the fact people were offended by the bake sale."

Sounds like another GOP clone of Neville Chamberlain. We have a few of them in the SENATE already....

[Desron13]

Sounds like what you actually have here is a group of RINOs.

[Stevenc131]

"But Leidig, who also is chairman of the Ottawa County Republican Party, said he did not know the students planned to use a racially biased price scale when he approved the event."

Yeah, how dare they inject race into a debate about affirmative action!

[untenured]

Racial preferences (masquerading as "diversity" or "affirmative action") appear to have become as accepted in the body politic as free speech or Social Security. I don't like it, but there it is.

[gridlock]

"I've been called a bigot and racist," Rausch said. "There's nothing racist about saying affirmative action should be based on economic means and not race."


(ahem) MR. RAUSCH, this is your defining moment. Grow a spine, grow a couple---and show the local "GOP Advisors" how it's done....don't let the PC/Tolerance crowd castrate you, Sir!

[mbynack]

They're offended by the bake sale, but not the policies that inspired it. It's okay to discriminate against whites for college admissions, but not to charge them extra for a cupcake.

[kimoajax]

Leidig sounds like he needs permission to go to the John, let alone hold an independent thought. I am sure he fits right in with the other campus faculty.

[Windsong]

"My political career is pretty much shot," said the 19-year-old

A friggin NINETEEN year old?!? Heres a news flash: you dont HAVE a career at 19 dolt!

[Mr. Jeeves]

Yeah, but here's a young guy who could have been a good Republican candidate in the future who will now never have anything else to do with the party.

The GOP RINOs may be riding high now, but just like the Democrats did in the 60's, through their arrogance they are sowing the seeds of their own destruction.

[the_Watchman]

Is it kosher to publish an email address for Paul Leidig so that the rest of us Republicans can give him a piece of our minds?
