Thinkprogress:


TPM Election Central notes Monday that South Carolina Republican Party Chairman and recently declared candidate for RNC chairman, Katon Dawson, was formerly a member of a the 80-year-old whites-only Forest Lake country club:

Back in September, when Dawson was first quietly laying the groundwork for his RNC run, The State newspaper reported that he resigned his membership in the nearly 80-year-old Forest Lake Club. Members told the newspaper at the time that the club’s deed has a whites-only restriction and has no black members.

I guess now to be a Republican you have to be a card carrying KKK member. What's with these people. I had no idea the Party had dropped so low. When I hear Republicans talk it's not like the way their acting today. I hope all Republicans don't follow this policy. But if this dude get the leadership role all must follow his lead. Sarah will be signed up as she is already a racist and a killer.

Now here's a good way for the GOP to make the case that it hasn't been reduced to a southern regional rump party that's held hostage by intolerant crackpots: Elect as the new chairman of the Republican National Committee a southerner who just resigned a longtime membership in a whites-only country club.

Whites only club, the GOP, skinheads, KKK, all interchangeable, memebership in one gives you membership in all. They all have the same mentality and ethnic background.
