As Jack noted earlier – the Rutland County GOP “apologized” this afternoon.
Here’s a reminder of what they were “apologizing” for:
And:
Here’s the problem:
They haven’t apologized for posting a clearly racist post.
Instead, they did a whole heap of blame-shifting, by implying that the problem wasn’t the post and its content, but instead the problem is whiny democrats making them take it down.
And they said they’d change their editorial policy.
Um … no. Sorry, folks, but what you need is some serious education regarding the evils of racism and a 180 degree change of attitude toward people whose skin includes varying amounts of melanin.
Oh, and Rob Towle’s resignation might not be a bad choice, either – at least if you want to send the signal that you’re serious about racism being unacceptable in your ranks.
About three people saw the post and now the non-racists at GMD feel it’s necessary to tell people, over and over, how racist the Rutland GOP is.
As of this morning the Rutland County GOP page appears to have disappeared. I guess that would be considered a change in editorial policy, wouldn’t it?
