The Huffpo article forgot to mention the most important piece of information, what a surprise.

Quote:
Official downplays white supremacist's election to county GOP committee - News - Citizens Voice

Bob Kolankoski, chairman of the committee's third district, says it's being blown way out of proportion.


"Anyone can be written in," Kolankoski said. "He's a crackpot. He's one guy. What can he do?"

According to the county bureau of elections, Steve Smith, 42, was elected to the Republican committee with one write-in vote from the April 24 primary election. Smith is the regional coordinator of Keystone United, which was known until 2009 as the Keystone State Skinheads.
I would assume he voted himself into the position. LOL

So if you're in a plane like the one that went into the Hudson you wouldn't care if number 100 was the pilot as opposed that pilot who was one of the most qualified in the nation to handle that situation?

To say you don;t want the very best person available to do a job is pure nonsense.

Steve Smith, White Supremacist, Elected To Republican Party Committee In Pennsylvania County
You are just playing the race card starting this thread about an ELECTED republican office holder that just says what the rest of them think.

Yeah because you know minorities would never be the best qualified right?

I don't care if you're white, black, purple or green. In this case the only thing I want to know is your the best qualified for the job.
Best qualified is conservative code for guess what?

Finish this equation best qualified=

You're either are or are not hiring based on skin color. You can try sugar coat it with the term diversity but I call it reverse discrimination. Try mandating that white teachers have to hired in schools with all black faculty and see how well that flies.... If you want to get over the racial divide it's these types of things that need to stop.
you come on here defending a white supremacist and then say.......never mind

LOL...... The people in this discussion who's arguments would imply that minorities could not be the best qualified is those supporting hiring them based on their skin color. I'm fully aware they could be the best qualified, there is absolutely no reason they should get special consideration based on the color of their skin.

Are you of the opinion we need quotas for minorities because they couldn't be the best qualified or is your opinion the same as mine that we simply hire the best qualified for the job regardless of race?

does that somehow mitigate the fact that he was a democrat that spent how many terms in the senate? the OP is pointing out that a republican is a white supremest, but doesnt point out that there are also democrats that are also white supremests. its hypocrisy at its finest.
