“zoo has African lion, White House has a lyin’ African.”

[Still a Democrat]

After police arrested a man who allegedly shot at the White House, the president of the University of Texas College Republicans tweeted that the idea of killing President Obama was “tempting.” “Y’all as tempting as it may be, don’t shoot Obama,” wrote Lauren Pierce. In an interview with ABC News, she said the comment was a “joke,” but said an attempted assassination would “only make the situation worse.” The group’s vice president, Cassie Wright, acknowledged that Pierce’s comment perhaps “shouldn’t be said,” but also offered a defense, saying, “she’s made a positive statement in a way.” Later, Pierce apologized: “I apologize for my previous tweet. It was in poor taste and and should never have been written.” Earlier this month, she tweeted a picture of a sign that read, “zoo has African lion, White House has a lyin’ African.”

Keep showing the maturity level that Republicans are becoming famous for Lauren. I guess while watching the boat sink into the water, you might as well scream epithets.

Seven year old children have more common sense and maturity than most Republicans.

I'm detecting symptoms of racism in that girl.

I'm back to hating them. Just hating them. I don't understand how people get to be the way they are.

"TCR respects the sanctity of human life, and although we may disagree politically with President Obama, our organization respects President Obama and the position he holds as our chief executive and commander in chief,” the state chapter said in a statement. “TCR is now calling for the official resignation of Ms. Pierce from both her position as secretary of the Texas College Republicans and as president of the University of Texas College Republicans.”

Buh bye, Lauren. But take heart, you'll be a big hit at the next KKK family picnic.

Yeah, right. The Texas College Republicans were silent as statues until this blew up publicly. Their public penitence is about as real and as believable as any animated Walt Disney cartoon, pre-1965.

Since the repubs are SO big on personal responsibility, let Ms. Pierce and the rest of the TCR get a face full of it.

I really wish this stuff still shocked me.

This is the stuff that enables the haters to hate. I hope the Secret Service pays them a call.
