Pemberton GOP committeeman resigns over Obama/O.J. remarks
By Matt Friedman

Ed Kuck, the Burlington County Republican committeeman at the center of controversy over a racially offensive quote he put on the Pemberton Republicans’ Web site, resigned his post this afternoon, according to Burlington GOP Chairman Bill Layton.

The resignation came hours before Pemberton Council President Diane Stinney called for the resignation of “all involved” with the Web site after it ran a banner ad that read "Obama loves America like O.J. loved Nicole."

“Our country is facing a recession; our taxes keep rising; families have to work harder and harder to protect their children from crime and it’s so important to show people that actions like this are not acceptable,” said Stinney.

Kuck, according to press accounts, was the webmaster for the site. Layton said that the site belonged to Kuck alone, and not the local Republican Party.

1. Obama becoming president will cause many more racists, closeted or otherwise...

...to come face to face with their worst fears about "them."

Hopefully, it'll change some minds for the better.

2. As History shows economics has a way of changing peoples

attitudes..

If these folks can't put food on their table, gas in their car and can't get to their job......well they are going to want to have someone that can fix those economic problems....(Not all of them but perhaps some of them).

3. Goodl I'm sure the OFFICIAL Republicans are OFFICIALLY outraged over that

quote on their official website...

Because Republicans aren't officially racist, nosirreee...

4. And Which candidate was it who is known to have been verbally abusive to his wife? nt

5. The Republican one, right? The same one who allowed a racist quote on their OFFICIAL website, right?

So, can we assume that both officially and unofficially the Republicans are racist and abusive to women? I just want to make sure I get this exactly right...

6. Not all of them, but a significant minority of mysogynistic racists is tolerated by the rest of them

in the name of Power that it might just as well be ALL of them.

7. I think you've got it. nt
