Jeb Bush’s web chief quits after report on embarrassing post about Martin Luther King Jr.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s (R) new chief technology officer misrepresented civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. in an effort to disparage the Black community and supporters of affirmative action, the Huffington Post reported on Tuesday.

Ethan Czahor was hosting a radio show at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania in 2008 when he wrote a blog post, since deleted, with an advisory for readers who were “white liberal who feels guilty for being white.” The post and the site are inactive, the Post reported, but they were preserved on the Internet Archive.

“Martin Luther King, Jr. was a well-dressed, extremely well-spoken man; he didn’t have his pants sagged to his ankles, and he wasn’t delivering his speech in “jibberish” or “slang” (ie. he wasn’t speaking like a rapper),” Czahor wrote. “He understood that looking respectable and speaking clearly and concisely isn’t a trait of white men — it’s a trait of intelligent men.”

Update, 9:07 p.m. EST: CNBC reported that Czahor resigned from Bush’s political action committee on Tuesday night.

[LiberalElite]

[lobodons]

Nice vetting job there, chief.

[samsingh]

42. all of these little jerks will be back if jeb wins any office

[deutsey]

44. That's what happened with Rove

He was fired from Bush I's presidential campaign in '92 after it was revealed that he planted a negative news story.

As we all know, he went on to be more than just a footnote in the Bush family's part in the history of contemporary politics.

[samsingh]

46. what an evil disgusting sh*t he is.

[Miigwech]

8. Good

just another a hole exposed to the light of day and that can't defend his egregious behavior .... but maybe a Repub super PAC has hired him so he can ply his ugliness undetected, help bring the knuckle dragger's into the inner workings of the inter-webs.

[unionthug777]

21. boozhoo miigwech

[GeorgeGist]

9. Bush league. Bwahahahah

[VanillaRhapsody]

10. GOOD!

and that sure didn't take long....

But notice....Jeb didn't mind him insulting women......but when it turns out he is a racist too.....well that's a bridge too far!

In fact every racist I ever met....was a big ol Misogynist too!

[Miles Archer]

11. Did you also notice his homophobia?

One of the tweets that surfaced was him saying that he burps when he goes to the gym so the gay guys will know he's not available.

This guy is a real piece of work.

[VanillaRhapsody]

12. Oh i missed that one....

wow he must think he is irresistable...I think he must be overcompensating....

By the way, wonder if he knows....women are not too fond of burping men either...

[Borchkins]

33. Yep Homophobic, okay, Misogynist, okay, Racist, nope. Two out of three would have been okay.

Glad he's gone.
B

[erpowers]

36. He is Really Stupid

For me this is one of those instances where I say hopefully he is joking. Seriously, he burps at the gym so gay guys know he is not available. That just sounds so foolish to me.

[lark]

35. I was going to post about that as well

Yeah, the good ole' boys don't mind a little "wumun hazing" that's just boys being boyz. Saying something racist about a man, well that's not to be tolerated. He should have been fired for both in a balanced world, neither racism nor misogyn should be given a pass.

[VanillaRhapsody]

37. This is what we are up against when Hillary Runs...

they STILL just don't get it!

[George II]

13. You mean all of that other stuff wasn't enough?

Funny thing, for wingnuts I would have thought the racial stuff wouldn't have been as bad as the slut stuff, etc.

[VanillaRhapsody]

38. Nope...they hate women even more.....

You'll see....when HRC runs...

[3catwoman3]

14. A case of "Blink...

...and you'll miss it."

A short and inglorious career.

[enough]

16. This gets him fired, but the outrageous ongoing slut-shaming did not? (nt)

[shawn703]

19. Women are fair game

Apparently

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

34. Even worse if you're a black woman: "sluts," "Welfare Queens" and "rapper hoes"!

[bullwinkle428]

22. My very first thought after reading the news of his termination.

[deafskeptic]

17. oh boy.

golly, some people!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. Is this guy interviewing to be the webmaster of Chick fil A?

[irisblue]

20. well

dressed misogyny, racism and homophobia....Republican traits all. Nice choice Jebbys' campaign

[blkmusclmachine]

23. ,

[Cha]

24. Well, well, well, Ethan Czahor.. aren't you just the little rascist philosopher. I don't feel

"guilty for being white"... but I sure am ashamed of the white people who don't have a fucking clue about what ugly racists they are.

[joshcryer]

25. Jeb's handlers are probably losing their minds now.

Geez what a week for those bastards.

[gordianot]

26. A Bush hired him whaddya expect?

The best example of "gibberish" I ever heard came out of the mouth of Jeb Bush's brother. I have often wondered starting around 1995 what some famous people (including Martin Luther King) would have made of the current state of affairs. Since most of those I admired were murdered or died under mysterious circumstance it would have been interesting but none of us will never know for sure, people change over time. This judgmental boorish clown should not invoke the name of Martin Luther King Jr. what he said is offensive.

27. It must be hard to find republican help with no public history of bigotry

[BumRushDaShow]

28. ^^^THIS^^^

[DeSwiss]

29. Resigned?

- Aww, that's tough Jebbie. And he was such ''a great talent in the tech world and you were so very excited to have him on board the Right to Rise PAC'', I believe was the direct quote......

[Octafish]

30. BFEE Tradition

[father founding]

31. Ethan baggy pants

He understood that looking respectable and speaking clearly and concisely isn’t a trait of white men — it’s a trait of intelligent men.
Apparently. Ethan is missing this trait.

[yellowcanine]

32. "Ethan is a great talent ... and we are very excited to have him on board the Right to Rise PAC."

Went from "great talent" to under the bus in 24 hours. Nice.

[AC_Mem]

39. JB may find it difficult

To find staff that have not posted, said or done stupid, racist, intollerant, illegal and/or ignorant things.

It will be fun to watch them get exposed, one by one.

Not one more Bush in the White House!!!!

[indivisibleman]

40. "white liberal who feels guilty for being white"

This is an accusation that has been leveled at me by right wingers during debate.

[brett_jv]

43. I must be really clueless about these things ... is there more in the article?

I mean ... he IS right about MLK ... that's all true and everything ...

I guess, being white and all ... I just 'don't get' these things, whatever it is that makes this so patently and egregiously offensive.

Not saying I'd would ever say crap like this, or not look askance at someone saying it in my presence ... and I LOVE that it makes toolbag Jeb look bad for hiring him, but ... in the pantheon of 'racist shit' I've heard in my day, this is about as 'tactful' as this sorta talk comes ... and seems more aimed towards lauding MLK than anything else, but ... again ... sometimes I find my 'liberal outrage detector' a bit ... de-synced from prevailing DU wisdom.

[wheniwasincongress]

45. You really can't see what's wrong with his MLK comment?

I'm white too. Can you see what's wrong about comments that a black person "is articulate" and such?
