From The Daily Beast

Audra Shay After “Barack the Magic Negro” and other GOP racial gaffes, a top Young Republican official—who hopes to be elected chairman Saturday—laughs at a racial slur about President Obama. The Daily Beast’s John Avlon on a choice facing GOP brass: Lose the radical fringe, or never email, use social media or send out holiday CDs again.

Note to Republicans: Racist “humor,” the Internet, and political ambitions don’t mix. Audra Shay, vice chairman of the Young Republicans and the leading candidate to be elected its chairman on Saturday, is now the latest in a growing list of GOP officials learning this lesson the hard way, based on pictures of a now-deleted Facebook page obtained by The Daily Beast.

On Wednesday, Shay—a 38-year-old Army veteran, mother, and event planner from Louisiana who has been endorsed by her governor, Bobby Jindal—was holding court on her Facebook page, initiating a political conversation by posting that “WalMart just signed a death warrant” by “endorsing Obama’s healthcare plan.” At 1:52, a friend named listed as Eric S. Piker, but whose personal page says his actual name is Eric Pike, wrote “It’s the government making us commies… can’t even smoke in my damn car… whats next they going to issue toilet paper once a month… tell us how to wipe our asses…”

Two minutes later, Piker posted again saying “Obama Bin Lauden [sic]  is the new terrorist… Muslim is on there side [sic]… need to take this country back from all of these mad coons… and illegals.”

Eight minutes after that, at 2:02, Shay weighed in on Piker’s comments:  “You tell em Eric!  lol.”

    Dumb white bytch talkin about taking back this country. It was never theirs. They are the only illegal immigrants. Khan musa in 1300′s came to the west and he was a musslim. That’s way before the white beast set foot on western land

    Prior to khan musa his brotha abubukari was here and thousands of years before these to afrikans came the olmec civilization was thriving here in the west

    Those kkkrackas time is up they better hope england will let them back

    These people are a f**king joke. I see that she’s a army veteran, so when George Bush sent all their kids and husbands, and wives over to Iraq based on a lie, and left them over there while he went back to his ranch in Texas to sip lemonade what was she saying then? I do believe that a lot of her fellow soldiers are putting bullets in their heads and all they could do is bash the only man that insisted on bringing the soldiers home. Maybe we should be laughing at her because Bush didn’t appoint anyone to regulate Wall Street and all of her friends, and family lost all their life savings, and retirement money. So while they think the joke is on us, how does it feel to be poor? HA!HA!HA!!!!!!!

    Much ado about N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

    I’m surprised people can stop crying over Michael Jackson long enough to concern themselves with this foolishness.

    BROTHER ASHANTI HAS SPOKEN!

    Typical! The GOP doesn’t respect woman (Including Palin) or people of color! I don’t know why (Including Rice and Powell) that anyone of color would support the party. I can understand being conservative but the GOP is a party of racists and male chauvinist! When will people learn.

    Black and esp brown people need to stop supporting the GOP! Stop it, stop it, stop it! Look how the GOP is doing Sonia Sotomayor!

    Also please STOP it with the Jesus was black talk. Remember when black people where brought here as slaves we were not Christians, we didn’t become Christians till white people brought us here and only taught us about Christianity or beat us like Kunta Kinte till be accepted it. Trips me out how people can talk about white people in one breath and then believe in the blond haired blue eye Jesus in the other. LOL! I know, I know he prob wasn’t blond hair blue eyed. But he was Jewish which still doesn’t make him black.

    And someone here said that white people wonder why they have hurricanes and tornadoes (Even though all those things have been happening a long as recorded time and are even recorded in the Bible it’s self.) but poor people are the ones (Esp black people like in New Orleans) that get affected by hurricanes and tornadoes and end up dead and still homeless! Even with all the “prayers” that black folk make.

    See cause while we praying, white people are doing. While black people are still sitting in Katrina trailers most white people have long moved on and made things happen! Which is what black folk need to be doing!

    Ya notice that Chineese people figured this out which is why China is a world power now, Indian people have figured this out also which is why India is now a world power. Yet Africa is still a hot mess and so it most of South and Central America!

    Sad! which is why white people still treat us like this!
