Head of Kansas GOP Calls Waitress Who Returned Brownback's Tip "Arrogantly Stupid" and "Ignorant"

If there's one good thing about social media, it's illuminating how much hatred there is in the Republican Party for ordinary Americans, particularly those who question or challenge Republican policies.

You may have already heard the story about Chloe Hough, the Topeka, Kansas waitress who, on her last day on the job, had the "pleasure" of waiting on her state's Republican Governor Sam Brownback at Boss Hawg's restaurant.

In late March, Brownback signed a new school financing law that replaces the complex school funding formula with flexible block grants for the next two years. The bill reduces funding that districts had expected for the current school year.

Before Hough took the tab to the governor — which rang in at $52.16 — she put an X in the line where he would leave a tip. And to the left of that she wrote, “Tip the schools.”

Ms. Hough posted the image of the Governor's tab, with her writing on it, to her Facebook page, whereupon it immediately went viral: “Honestly, I wasn’t expecting a tip,” she said. “I was trying to make a point.”

In typical Republican fashion, rather than address her concerns about education policy in Kansas, Clay Barker, the Executive Director of the Kansas State Republican Committee, decided to viciously attack Ms. Hough. In a post on KNS TV's Facebook page, Barker summed up the feelings of the Kansas Republican Party towards this woman working for tips at less than minimum wage:

“So you are publicizing her arrogant stupidity and utter ignorance. Typical liberal KS media,” he wrote.

2. More and more people are recognizing republicans as self-serving creatures from

the depths of hell! They don't give a damn about people, the country today or its future. They are only interested in ripping off $$$$$'s for themselves, the pinnacle of greed.
