crncny - College Republican National Committee New York - YouTube account closed (reasons unknown)

It previously featured
Fun elementary-school-quality posters by Ashley Todd (drawn with a ruler with a razor edge)
Black janitor minding his own business complete with rw nutjob voice over.
Todd expressing excitement over the pizza and candy that will be served at sunni al-bany

gone.

[Nitrogenica]

1. I hope someone got a copy of the "razor edge" ruler video.

[tosh]

4. ...

:rofl:

[143tbone]

2. Good because I didn't like that video about the janitor at all.

I can imagine what he must have thought about her. The little twit.

[Cha]

26. That was evil and indicative of

ashley todd.

[whitewomenforobama]

3. noooooo!!!

there go half my youtube "favorites"

[Starry Messenger]

5. Oh to be a fly on the walls at College Republican...

Their cries of despair would bring joy to me.

[adamuu]

8. heh.. you reminded me of a SB joke. The "Fly of Despair" in the "shanghaied" episode n/t

[adamuu]

12. strangely, the LITF50 seems to be going about business as usual

as if nothing were wrong.

No Mae Culpa

[Starry Messenger]

13. Shouldn't they rename it LITF49?

http://www.samefacts.com/archives/lying_in_politics_/2008/10/college_republicans_fingered_in_ashley_todd_affair.php

"Will John McCain denounce the College Republicans? And while he's at it, will he denounce his Pennsylvania communications director?

Bonus moment:

Ms. Todd's job as a field representative for the College Republican National Committee brought her to Pittsburgh about two weeks ago to recruit college students. She had worked for the committee since August. Yesterday, the organization fired her.

Ashley Barbera, the organization's communications director, said workers initially were concerned for Ms. Todd's safety.

"We are as upset as anyone to learn of her deceit. Ashley must take full responsibility for her actions," she said.

Get that? This mentally ill woman must "take full responsibility for her actions," but the College Republicans (who have a long tradition of "ratf*cking": Nixon's dirty tricksters and Karl Rove got their start with the CRs) take no responsibility for hiring her, or for pushing her story. How hard would it have been to look at Todd's MySpace page, where she said "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her cloths off"? They used her, and now they're throwing her away. Feh."

I bet there are going to be a lot more College Republicans "resigning to spend more time with their families" next week.

[adamuu]

15. that was interesting thanks. n/t

[adamuu]

16. do you mind if i post that to #litf08

I think the CR's ought to read it
:rofl:

[Starry Messenger]

18. Be my guest!

Get it viral.

[adamuu]

20. Heh. it will now appear on the sidebar of the LITF website for a while. n/t

[Starry Messenger]

23. So you are at the same school she was making videos at!?

You didn't see her awesome posters? Pity. :D

[adamuu]

24. heh. i did not recognize any of the scenes in the videos

She said she was at Sienna, too. That's a nearby private college. That's where the Republicans go, not to make too much of a generalization.
SUNY is very nice. I love it there. Usually when there are tables set up at the Campus Center they don't have any hand-drawn shit. There is a printing office on campus... no excuse to make anything half-assed unless you don't take you cause seriously at all. Dunno how it is at Sienna. ;)

[sunnystarr]

27. Which SUNY? There are lots of them in the state. (nt)

[adamuu]

29. SUNY Albany n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

6. Now this is interesting

I'm sure there are plenty of mirror sites of her stuff.
But the point is they are trying to cut their ties and responsibilities to their paid staff member.


Just like the hateful e-mailer in western Pennsylvania that the Republicans did.

Tried to cut their ties to it. Funny, both of these things happened in Western Pennslyvania

[adamuu]

11. We will always have the record of all her little Twitter friends wishing her well, up until

2008-10-24 when they deleted her lifeinthefieldblog
and never mentioned her again
They erased her Stalin-style

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=+%23litf08+since%3A2008-10-20+until%3A2008-10-23

I'll paste it here in case they manage to delete these, too. Note: Reverse chronological order.

17. I wonder what her well-wishers are saying about her now (eom)

[adamuu]

19. Any time they are pressed for comment, in Twitter, they reply with a link to the CRNC blog post

Any time they are pressed for comment, in Twitter, they reply with a link to the CRNC blog post
http://blog.crnc.org/2008/10/24/crnc-statement-on-ashley-todd/

I think they have been directed not to comment. That makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is that they agree its not a good idea to comment but they can continue on with their jobs like nothing is wrong. They continue to post in #litf08 about how they are talking people into voting, partying, and enjoying themselves. I mean, doesn't this event kind of put their entire organization into question? Don't they have an ounce of introspection? Like, "hey, maybe what I'm doing isn't so great?" "Maybe we should all just go home and think this over... come back in 4 years maybe..."
SIGH.

Take a look at some of the offensive photos in the flickr stream

You'd think that this would be the moment they realize how pitiful they are. But that moment never comes.
