Shock, horror - Repugs encounter F-word
Ellen Lewin is a professor in the anthropology department at the University of Iowa. Like all of us, she is constantly dunned with email announcing this, that, and the other thing at our universities, and sometimes we get email that makes our blood boil.

In this case, she got mail from the College Republicans, announcing a "coming out" party (like Republicans in the midwest are a closeted and oppressed minority…) that featured some hagiographic movie about George W. Bush (that ignorant ass), an "animal rights barbecue" and other such joyful shenanigans to celebrate the party of morons and thugs and self-destructive ideologues.

Ellen Lewin had enough. Ellen Lewin got angry. Ellen Lewin fired off a one-sentence reply.

FUCK YOU, REPUBLICANS.


Of course, the College Repigs then clutched their pearls, swooned and tattled to the university, demanding an apology.

Fuck that (along with Republicans). No one should EVER apologize for ANYTHING that offends a Repub. IMO, if you manage to offend a fucking Republican, you're just doing your job as a patriotic American.

The party of Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, the happily late Ronald Reagan, the ditto Lee Atwater, the zombie Strom Thurmond, Strom's bastard son Haley Barbour, not to mention the Bush/Rumsfeld/Rice axis of evil.

Well, kiddies...in the words of Dick Cheney, which you all stood up and cheered when he illegally uttered them on the floor of the Senate - "Go fuck yourselves."

6. Or, give them the Repuke version of an apology:
"I'm sorry if anyone was offended when I told them to fuck off."

7. Their tone was antagonistic and hatefully mocking
Apologizing would be absurd. She had the right to express herself forcefully as she was provoked.

9. Fuck the Republicans, each and every one of them
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 05:36 AM by Enthusiast
and fuck any Democrat that acts in ways cooperative with the filthy Republicans.

George W Bush's Administration falsified intelligence to justify the Iraq War. The Administration of George W Bush tortured prisoners. George W Bush's Administration ignored plain evidence forewarning of attacks on 9/11.

Not investigating and prosecuting the George W Bush Administration is dereliction of duty.

10. A discussion on the controversy:
Here’s my interview with Tim Hagle, the University of Iowa College Republicans faculty advisor, about Lewin’s “F— You, Republicans!” email response to the group’s invite for people to participate in “Conservative Coming Out Week,” and what it’s like being a conservative on a college campus.
