Credit R. Wallace "Wally" Hudson, chairman of the Mecklenburg County (Va.) Republican Committee, with demonstrating how new social media platforms can broadcast ancient hates.
The Post reported this week that the county GOP's Facebook page had displayed for months photos portraying President Obama as a witch doctor, a caveman and a drug dealer.
Ah, life in post-racial America.
Virginia's Republican Party chairman, Pat Mullins, ordered the offensive photos be taken down. But Hudson, who acknowledged posting most of the images, stood his ground, saying he didn't see what all the fuss was about. "We know our regular readers, who are good conservatives," he told The Post on Tuesday. "They're gonna get a kick out of it."
