I mean, since when have conservatives ever turned a blind eye to say, conservative folk heroes who liken waterboarding to the sacrament of baptism, or cheered for<\/span><\/span>\u00a0a conservative folk hero who said the federal government did not exist and who wanted to use women and children as human shields in a shooting war with that government, or spent years and years cheering for people who claim that Obama is a Muslim Kenyan terrorist, or fought to defend a priest who ditched his vows to become \u201cThe Black Sheepdog\u201d or hailed a talk show host for being open to *both* sides of the wife\/child beating question? Or reflexively accused people who do notice these things of being proabort liberal apologists. No, Conservative common sense and discernment would * surely* have detected any warning signs in this guy *long* ago. \u00a0So it must be that it is only since he \u2026that it promoted him to Executive Director of the South Carolina GOP: Oh, but that\u2019s not all: A number of media outlets detailed a range of inflammatory messages he posted to his\u00a0Twitter\u00a0account[11][12]\u00a0in 2013, which include mocking Florida shooting victim\u00a0Trayvon Martin[13]\u00a0and saying that transgendered people should be placed in a concentration-style camp.[2][14][15]\u00a0He also posted to his […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[49,59],"class_list":["post-55233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-the-thing-that-used-to-be-conservatism","tag-weapons-grade-crazy"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
