It isn't just the big Conservative hoohahs who are shooting themselves in the foot. The clown mentioned below was a Board of Education member in Hyde Park, New York. The article from which I'm quoting
is available here.
The Board of Education Tuesday unanimously accepted the resignation of board member Kevin Post, who missed a number of meetings while fellow trustees voiced concern over comments he had posted on a conservative Web site.
And what was this fine upstanding citizen's specific crime, he who was elected to be responsible for the schools in the area and the teaching of young vulnerable students?
Post has acknowledged posting statements to the Free Republic Web site under the user name kphockey2, which has since been banned by the site because of derogatory comments about same-sex couples and anti-war protesters. He also made references to "leftist scum" and boasted of being a "protest warrior," part of a group that "infiltrates" other groups that oppose right-wing ideals.
One photograph apparently posted to the site by the former trustee showed a sniper aiming a high-powered rifle and wearing a black T-shirt inscribed with the phrase, "When all else fails, vote from the rooftops."
Nice, huh? I wonder if the folks who elected him knew of his personal views?
