The leader of a Pennsylvania group of college Republicans was forced to resign after he posted comments on the Internet that described Barack Obama's lips as a flotation device.
Obama has 'a pair of lips so large he could float half of Cuba to the shores of Miami (and probably would),' wrote Adam LaDuca, 21, on his Facebook page, The Chicago Sun-Times reports. 'And man, if sayin' someone has large lips is a racial slur, then we're ALL in trouble.'
This wasn't LaDuca's first foray into controversy. He previously called the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. a "fraud," The Chicago Sun-Times reports.

"Hate and Disrespect" has become the tag line for the Republican party. Hate was once the lead issue and tag for Southern Democrats, who opposed Civil Rights in America for African Americans/Blacks. We now see the party of emancipation as the Republican party which champions "Hate and Disrespect" for African Americans/Blacks.
